RELAXING, DREAMY AND SENSUAL
Lia Hdes new album “The Missing Fourth Guest” can be described as relaxing, dreamy, sensual and completely mesmerising. It is an incredibly well-put-together album of beautiful songs.
Lyrically they are excellent, and musically, they are outstanding. If you like dark pop-infused with jazz, orchestral and classical, this is a perfect choice.
It is evident from the outset that Lia has put much of herself into this album to make it enter the listener’s heart.
I highly recommend this album even if you are unsure of what to expect, as it is a beautiful album.

MESMORISING
Greek dark pop artist, Lia Hide has just unveiled her highly-anticipated full-length LP, The Missing Fourth Guest.
The Missing Fourth Guest borrows its title from Plato's 'Timeaus' dialogue opening line. The songs talk about the emotional struggles of the recent Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns, human mortality, and the place of the modern man in the universe.
In 'Timaeus' Plato presents an elaborately wrought account of the formation of the universe and an explanation of its impressive order and beauty. The universe as a whole as well as its various parts are so arranged as to produce a vast array of good effects.
Lia Hide's songwriting is clean, pop, structured and lyrical, yet bears progressive music elements. Glitch and jazz fragments and orchestral layers, electronic sub drones and industrial noises, that all dress up the clarity of the piano trio:
Lia Hide's influences of Kate Bush and Tori Amos are strongly portrayed, meddling with scents of Massive Attack, Nick Cave, Cocteau Twins and Radiohead. Her classical music training is evident and blends evenly with Aki'Base's dark post-wave style and George Rados' laid-back naturalness.
The Missing Fourth Guest has eight tracks and is available in digital and CD formats.
Die griechische Dark-Pop-Künstlerin Lia Hide hat gerade ihre mit Spannung erwartete LP in voller Länge, The Missing Fourth Guest, vorgestellt.
Der vermisste vierte Gast entlehnt sich seinen Titel aus Platons Dialog-Eröffnungszeile "Timeaus". Die Songs sprechen über die emotionalen Kämpfe der jüngsten Covid-19-Pandemie und Lockdowns, die menschliche Sterblichkeit und den Platz des modernen Menschen im Universum.
In "Timaeus" präsentiert Platon einen aufwendig ausgearbeiteten Bericht über die Entstehung des Universums und eine Erklärung seiner beeindruckenden Ordnung und Schönheit. Das Universum als Ganzes sowie seine verschiedenen Teile sind so angeordnet, dass es eine Vielzahl guter Effekte erzeugt.
Lia Hides Songwriting ist sauber, poppig, strukturiert und lyrisch, trägt aber progressive Musikelemente. Glitch- und Jazzfragmente und Orchesterschichten, elektronische Subdrohnen und Industriegeräusche, die alle die Klarheit des Klaviertrios verschönern:
Lia Hides Einflüsse von Kate Bush und Tori Amos werden stark dargestellt und mischen sich in Düfte von Massive Attack, Nick Cave, Cocteau Twins und Radiohead ein. Ihr klassisches Musiktraining ist offensichtlich und fügt sich gleichmäßig in Aki'Bases dunklen Post-Wave-Stil und George Rados' entspannter Natürlichkeit ein.
The Missing Fourth Guest hat acht Tracks und ist im Digital- und CD-Format erhältlich.
