Event details
The currently most successful Swiss newcomer ZIAN announces his debut album "Burden". The work will be released on 28 January 2022 and can already be pre-ordered from 22 October 2021, together with the new song "See The Light".
The cat is out of the bag: early next year, ZIAN will release his debut album "Burden". As the title suggests, the album tells the story of a burden. "I kept finding myself at the point where I wondered why we humans have to pay for things that, without asking, were imposed on us," ZIAN muses about the album's creation process.
It's a question that not only ZIAN is concerned with. Everyone carries their own burden, no one is alone with it. And that in turn gives hope. Hope, in those times when you feel misunderstood. Hope in those times when you see no end. Hope in all those times when you are your own enemy. And that's exactly what the pop musician intends with his work.
The 11 songs are both a mirror of realization and a catch-all. Burdens no longer seem burdensome. Hope spreads through the hopelessness. Some will find themselves in a single quote, others will recognize themselves in the overall work. Musically, the album makes use of various genres and holds a wide spectrum from already familiar intimate pop ballads to surprising progressive electro/dance songs. "The album was created solely on the piano, to later help himself to the variety of different genres," ZIAN concludes.
If you can't wait until January for the album, you're in luck: on October 22, 2021, ZIAN will present another dimension of his musical universe with the song "See The Light". Compared to his two predecessors "Show You" and "Grateful", the track comes across more progressive. It surprises with new electronic elements and thus gains even more international character. A quality for which ZIAN was already effusively praised by the critics on his first releases. "See The Light" is about the desperation of wanting to help a loved one in need, even though the person in need doesn't want to accept help and instead struggles alone. It's a pop song that conveys the feeling of pain and powerlessness when you can't stand up for someone you trust. The lyrical level finds expression in the musical level: electronic sounds melt together with delicate, playful piano tones, always accompanied by ZIAN's powerful and charismatic voice. What seems light and sentimental at the beginning turns into surprising force in the hook. The loss and despair are clearly to be taken from the song.
ZIAN's career so far is impressive: In October 2020, the Basel musician released his debut single "Show You", which became a national hit within a few months and stormed the single and airplay charts. After only six months, the pop ballad reached gold status. The second single "Grateful" followed at the end of May 2021. A next radio hit was on the horizon. Shortly afterwards, the singer and multi-instrumentalist was able to demonstrate his skills at various summer festivals and perform live in front of 40,000 people at Energy Air in the Stade de Suisse. Until the end of the year, further concerts are scheduled, where ZIAN will perform with his band for the first time.
Due to the BAG guidelines, admission to the event from the age of 16 will only be granted with a valid Covid certificate, printed out or on a mobile phone, and an official document. The obligation to wear a mask is waived in the hall.
