HUA LI 化力 - Dynasty LP

Label: Next Door

Montreal-based musician Hua Li has arrived with the release of her debut album, Dynasty. The record is out today via Next Door Records. This is her first full-length release with the label.

Dynasty tells of Hua Li’s journey as second-generation Chinese-Canadian woman and deals with topics like deceitful love, family power dynamics and the profound imbalance that emotional adversity can deliver. Written over several years, this album collects the most authentic and personal songs from Hua Li to date, from declaration of feminist power and grace, “Mastery” to devastating takedown of power abused, “Tell Her” and twisted love story, “Outwitted.”

Dynasty is a combination of Montreal’s tradition of lush, lo-fi future beat with a twist of jazz sensibility and rap braggadocio. Completed with support from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec and Montréal arts, interculturels, Dynasty is a fierce affirmation of self-representation for Hua Li.
