Lian Ray releases third single 'Maps' together with video

Lian Ray releases third single ‘Maps’ together with video. Debut album ‘Rose’ will be released on the 22nd of November.

French pop noir songwriter Lian Ray releases his third single ‘Maps’ today on Snowstar Records, after already releasing singles ‘Rose’ and ‘Mateo’. ‘Maps’ will also be featured on upcoming debut album ‘Rose’, which is set for release on the 22nd of November. ‘Maps’ comes together with a lyric video, and is now available everywhere. Upcoming album ‘Rose’ can be pre-ordered in the Snowstar Records webshop.

‘Maps’ is about another chapter in the tumultuous phase that Lian was going through while writing his debut album ‘Rose’ in 2012. ‘Maps’ is not about Rose (the short fling that inspired the album title and the rest of the album narrative), but about another, very intimate relationship Lian had.

Lian and the woman became incredibly close in a short period, but in the end he couldn’t keep himself in line. He drifted off further into drug abuse and they lost touch, but not before Lian made her a promise in the song: “If you wait for me, I promise I’ll make it up to you”.

In 2016, when Lian checked into rehab and was surprisingly still alive, they met again. She said she had always stayed in love with him. Lian finally straightened himself and started working on the promise to make it up to her. They are still together to this very day.

‘Maps’ is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, iTunes and Bandcamp. The album can be pre-ordered in the Snowstar Records webshop. With each pre-order comes an exclusive unreleased 4-track EP by Lian Ray. Watch the lyric video here:
