AJA FIREFLIES

The dreamy new track from eighteen-year-old singer-songwriter Aja is the cathartic ‘Fireflies’. It’s a well-constructed ballad that allows her voice to shine above serene keyboard sounds and airy electronic beats while reminding the listener to keep their head up. “I wrote ‘Fireflies’ when I was in a pretty dark place and it was really about looking forward to what is next for me and getting away from negativity,” she explains. “Not letting anything stand in the way of me chasing my dreams.” Keep an eye out for what’s next from the Toronto-based artist. -Dan Peeke.
