Toronto born songstress X. ARI deftly dances in and out of genre lines, moving from enchanting alternative pop to gritty hip-hop production under a cover of electronic elegance.
Her newest single, “As You Are,” is an anthem for the outsiders. Tackling themes of mental health, bullying, and owning who you are, the track offers a healthy conduit for healing and invites its listeners to feel happy in their skin. The video is an empowering showcase for the featured individuals.
“It encourages you to stand in your power, own who you are, find healing through creative expression, and fight against anyone who brings you down.”
