Victorian musician KIAN has announced details of his forthcoming EP, Shine. To celebrate the announcement of the seven-track release, the 20-year-old singer has unveiled the title track as his new single.
‘Shine’ is a track built around the notion of personal growth, with KIAN’s vulnerable lyrics showing maturity far beyond his years. “‘Shine’ is about going through something and then being able to come out the other side having learned to shine; having learned to use it to your own advantage and to be able to grow from it,” he explained.
KIAN – ‘Shine’
‘Shine’ follows KIAN’s recent singles ‘Fit In Here’ and ‘Direction’, both of which will also feature on the Shine EP, which is out Friday, 26th August. It’ll be KIAN’s first new EP since 2019’s Bliss, and follows on from a pair of standalone singles in 2020.
“People have only had a small taste of what I have to offer, and I think I’ve got lots of things to say and show the world,” KIAN explained in a statement. “I’ve been making some of my favourite music I’ve ever made at the moment.
“I like to sit in a lot of different spaces at once and I feel like Shine shows just how many different new dimensions I can sit in as an artist. I think that it’s cool to bring it all together into one.”
Shine is set for release on Friday, 26th August.
