Taiwanese-American artist sarya (they/them) offers a truly captivating and tender experience with their latest single, "ARE YOU A TREE?". This emotionally charged track is a poignant blend of lo-fi beats, ethereal electronic textures, and dreamy romanticism, inviting listeners into a deeply personal, yet universally relatable, moment of introspection and awakening.


Inspired by a solitary hike and the surreal imagery of submerged trees resembling people, "ARE YOU A TREE?" beautifully captures how an unexpected connection, even with nature, can stir profound emotions. sarya articulates this feeling perfectly: "The first person or thing that makes you really feel something after a period of numbness can be the most heartbreakingly relieving emotion." The song embodies this sentiment, serving as a gentle yet powerful reminder to live and to trust in the possibility of future love, even when it feels fleeting.


As a Seattle-based singer-songwriter and poet with past creative chapters in Taipei and Edinburgh, sarya's music carries a truly global and introspective pulse. "ARE YOU A TREE?" is a prime example of their ability to transform everyday moments into ethereal sonic landscapes, inviting listeners into the liminal spaces between love and loss, fantasy and reality. It's a delicate yet profound piece that highlights sarya's continued evolution as a unique and compelling voice in alternative music.
