You could say Lila Gray is the Canadian Billie Eilish, but with a twang of classical training. Born and raised in Vancouver, Gray started learning the cello at age five and transformed into an artist when she wrote her first song "Therapy" as part of her debut EP Artificial Chemistry, which has garnered over 11,000 streams on Spotify alone. "Nevermind" was streamed over one thousand times on the first day of its release, a record breaker for Gray.
On "Nevermind", Gray explained:
"As you're in a conversation with someone, your feelings get pushed aside. And it's just sort of shoving what you feel underneath the surface, or brushing it under the carpet and just forgetting about it. It's feeling a little helpless and lost and just forgetting about it, like 'Never mind, I won't tell you.'"
Gray said unlike her others songs, the production of "Nevermind" started with a grouping of weird sounds, as oppose to a base-line or synth progression.
"We were in the studio and we took a fork that I was eating my lunch with and graded it onto the microphone," she said. "This one kind of went in reverse and we added all the the cherries on top first.
Gray said "Nevermind" is the first song off her upcoming album and her fans can expect new singles and music videos to be released in the next coming months.
