Hua Li 化力 the enigmatic “half-Chinese, half-militant, half-rapper of your heart,” reveals “Your Beautiful Self (Hua Li 化力 remix)” her take on the evocative Land of Talk track.
In the song’s transformation, she creates a tapestry of musical nuances over the poignant lyrics as she delicately weaves the original keyboard motif through a Wurlitzer organ with pulsating kick drums and hi-hats between disco and house rhythms. This Hua Li 化力 version captures the tenderness of the original track and channels it with an infusion of bliss and dance.
Land of Talk applauds the project: “I’m obsessed with Hua Li’s “Your Beautiful Self” remix. I have enjoyed many transcendent moments listening, dancing, and blissing out to this track. Hua Li 化力 did more than remix this song- she elevated and reimagined it.”
This announcement follows the release of her highly anticipated LP ripe fruit falls but not in your mouth, where she transported us into a metaphorical garden of her inner world, from navigating traumatic memories to reclaiming spaces of healing and celebration. The 10-track album also features lead singles “Cherrier”, “Part Time Muses”, “Sanctions of the Heart” and “Whip Around (feat. Darkus Millon)”.
