Imagine this: you’re on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, recalling all of your favourite carefree childhood memories. Add catchy beats, high-toned vocals, and some PIAO hyper-pop magic, and “Neopet”, her latest single, will quickly become your new go-to tune.
PIAO is an unexpected pop sensation you didn’t even know you needed, fresh from Shanghai and now performing live in Los Angeles. “Neopet” begins with sweet vocals that feel like an emotional hug before transitioning into a hyper-pop explosion that feels like you’re in a candy store. There will undoubtedly be surprises around every corner that will leave you wondering, “Wait! “Did I just hear THAT?”
“Neopet” is an intimate snapshot of PIAO’s childhood. PIAO remembers playing Neopets after school, and she transformed those simple joyous memories into an inspiring track full of hopefulness that spreads joy throughout its melody line. She brings them back into modernity wrapped up with vibrant hyper-pop packaging that exudes nostalgic feelings.
What distinguishes PIAO? Aside from her infectious melodies and fearless attitude, she distinguishes herself by challenging pop’s status quo. Having recently graduated from Berklee College of Music, PIAO has already attracted the attention of major players such as T Pain (TPain), JORDY, and 88 Rising (88 Rising), as well as sharing stages with Moontower and Ashley Mehta (among many others).
As noted previously, PIAO is more than a pop artist; she’s your musical BFF who will guide you into an imaginative realm where childhood meets hyper-pop. “Neopet” captures an atmosphere and reminds us that happiness can be found in the simplest of things. So take a seat, hit play, and let PIAO take you on an exhilarating, hyper-pop adventure you won’t soon forget.
