Introducing Vissia

Times are tough. People are secluded and isolated, and things are uncertain. And one artist bringing awareness to the importance of asking for help when it’s needed is Canadian alt-pop rising star VISSIA with her heartrending ballad “Walk Me Home”.

Hair-raising sombre piano keys open the track, swiftly followed by VISSIA’s ethereal and piercing vocals – an empowering lyrical plea of vulnerability in modern times when we are always taught that being strong is of utmost importance. And the visuals – shot during quarantine – see the artist look at the viewer straight on, juxtaposing the heartfelt messaging of the song with VISSIA’s eye-catching appearance and outfits.

“It wasn’t until a couple of months later that I realized that the song I’d just written shared the same sentiment as a beloved Ram Dass quote; we’re all just walking each other home,” explains VISSIA. “Maybe I had forgotten about reading it before? I don’t believe in coincidence, so however it found its way from my subconscious and onto the page is not really all that important to me. ‘Walk Me Home’ is a reflection on what vulnerability means to me. It’s not a weakness to need someone to lean on. It’s okay to be kind to the messiest parts of myself. It’s taken me a long time to forgive my past selves. Choosing my emotions over chaotic escapism really is a practice, and it does get easier the more I do it.”
