viisi is a musician who isn’t afraid to toe the line of genre. Guided by his emotions and diverse musical background, he allows each song space to fully express itself. Whether it's through high energy hip-hop or his latest melodic heart grabber “chasing ghosts”, viisi knows no limits as an artist.
“chasing ghosts” blends a haunting hook with gloomy notes of guitar and sublime harmonies that collide with the infectious beat at the heart of the track. Written about clinging onto the false idea of who a person is and how things used to be, “chasing ghosts” is a bittersweet goodbye that is brutally honest. Over celestial sonics, viisi sings, “We keep chasing ghosts / so every time we try, we don’t get any closure.” Singer-songwriter Chelsea Collins teams up with viisi as each artist shares their side of the story and unique perspective on falling out of love and moving on. Collins adds, " 'chasing ghosts' is like chasing a past version of yourself that no longer exists, just like trying to relive a love that's long gone. It's a cycle we all fall into, but it's important to let go and move forward." “chasing ghosts” is both captivating and painstaking as viisi and Chelsea Collins demonstrate the depths of vulnerability in deeply synergistic collaboration that goes beyond boundaries.
“chasing ghosts" is a part of viisi’s forthcoming EP Episode 1: Autophobia. Based on the Finnish word for “five”, viisi represents past, present, and future. This new single offers a glimpse into the bright future ahead for the artist.Take a listen to "chasing ghosts" and fall into a transformative journey on letting go of the past.
