Tsunaina‘s latest release, “Tissues,” is a captivating and emotionally charged musical journey that skillfully blends avant-garde pop with ethereal R&B. The track stands out for its hauntingly beautiful melody, accompanied by minimalist yet poignant synth arrangements that weave a tapestry of intimacy and introspection. Tsunaina’s vocals, simultaneously vulnerable and powerful, peel back layers of emotion as she delves into the themes of love, fragility, and the dynamics of her past relationship.
“Tissues” serves as an anthology of love and duality, a poignant exploration of romance that transcends both timeless and modern sensibilities, offering an intimate yet universally relatable experience. The title itself evokes a sense of disposability, reminiscent of the tissues we use and discard, drawing a parallel to the fragile and transient nature of human connections.
Born in Kowloon, Hong Kong, on December 30, 1993, Tsunaina’s multicultural background and upbringing add depth to her artistic expression. Raised in Lalitpur, Nepal, she later moved to Kent, England, with her family. Tsunaina’s academic journey led her to London, where she pursued History and Politics at SOAS University before delving into Sound Art at the University of the Arts London. It was during this time that she began writing for fellow artists and establishing connections with future collaborators.
Tsunaina’s diverse cultural influences shine through as she draws inspiration from her roots. Raised by her mother, a member of the Kirati Limbu, Yakthung tribe, Tsunaina is fluent in Nepali, English, Hindi, and French. This linguistic versatility reflects in her music, adding layers of richness to her lyrical compositions.
Tsunaina’s path into music began with the release of her debut single, “Waterways,” in 2020. Accompanied by a visually striking music video featuring a live arrangement in a waterfall, the release marked a significant step in her musical career. Subsequent releases, including “UnEarth,” “A Dam on the Eve of Breaking,” and “Fanned Out Fingers” in 2021, further showcased her versatility as an artist.
