Lean Into Light

Equally at home on the dancefloor or through headphones, the track showcases Qrion’s exceptional craftsmanship, with each release offering a fresh and nuanced listening experience rich with meaning and emotion. The collaboration with 24-year-old British electronic alt-pop rising star pinkpirate results in a seamlessly harmonious blend, heightened by her delicate, expressive vocals.

Speaking about the song, Momiji muses, When I worked on Lean Into Light, I was in a sad place. The pluck sounds in the song were inspired by the rain, reflecting how I felt like I was in a dark tunnel, struggling to find my way out. I wrestled with feelings of regret about my life, searching for excuses to make myself feel better. But eventually, I saw the light coming toward me, guiding me to realize that it’s okay to make mistakes. Those years weren’t something to regret; they were a learning experience. I didn’t share much of this with Pink, but she understood the vibe perfectly when we were in the studio. Her delicate voice perfectly matched the song, and she truly brought it to life. I especially love how she wrote ‘Memory Stays’ – it captured the essence of the track so beautifully.

We Are Always Under The Same Sky

‘We Are Always Under The Same Sky‘ signifies a rebirth for Qrion, representing the next phase of her journey following her debut, written as a reflection of the past. The album is also a celebration of female and non-binary Southeast Asian talent, with features from British-Kongese singer-songwriter Josie Man and Paris-based South Korean DJ, producer, and vocalist DIDI HAN. Qrion teamed up with the American-Chinese animator and designer Zee Yorke for all the artwork accompanying the album.

About Qrion

Melancholic, wistful, and dancefloor-minded, Qrion’s sound ranges from supple, exploratory works to driving house and soul-sampling groovers, always with a light and playful touch – evoking memories and feelings through sound. Her productions have drawn acclaim across dancefloors globally, from her long-running relationship with Anjunadeep to her remixes for Booka Shade and Röyksopp. It’s music for walking in the rain, driving through mountains, or reflecting on memories.

With a new direction for her sound, Qrion concentrates on moments of joy through her music. It’s therapeutic for me, playing shows and being vulnerable together with the audience, she says. I enjoy how we can connect through music. Qrion recently announced an extensive run of international tour dates, which are currently underway in the US, with the following shows remaining:
