Explaining how she’s “pursuing music aggressively”, Athena Lim is hyper-motivated to share her nuanced and multi-disciplinary artistry with a wider audience. A talented songwriter and singer, the London-based songstress also flourishes in the visual arts fields, qualities that make her creative drive a holistic endeavour, resulting in a quirky, unique musical universe which feels complete and rewarding.
‘White Dust’ is Lim’s latest effort, a playful, positive and groovy gem built on friendly acoustic vibes, the perfect settings for her evocative and catchy vocals, often delivered with a certain spoken-word flair. It is this incredible realness that instantly conquers the prospective listeners, aligning them with Athena’s colourful and hypnotizing ethos.
Lyrically, ‘White Dust’ punches above its weight, inspired by British philosopher Bertrand Russel, a figure very dear to Lim’s development. Isn’t this rather surprising? While the single appears cheerful and simple in its sonic stylings, the literary value associated with it dives deeper and deeper, creating a stark dualism that’s curious and engaging.
