About Lissi Bos
Emerging as a singer-songwriter from Brisbane, Australia, Lissi Bos is ready to take the world by storm with her debut single, “Just Be”, set to release on April 10, 2023. Like many artists, Melissa found her voice at a young age by joining her local church and performing Whitney Houston's Body Guard album in her living room every week. This ignited her love of music and spent her formative years mesmerized by Boys II Men music videos and drawn to the sonic sensibility of Mariah Carey. It wasn’t long before she began voice lessons to become classically trained as she fine-tuned her soulful haunting vocals.
Her upcoming single, “Just Be” serves not only as an uplifting anthem but also as a powerful public service message regarding mental health. Born out of a place of darkness and despair, “Just Be” was written as a reminder that the peace we seek lies within ourselves. In the midst of working through compounded trauma, Melissa found herself one night feeling the mix of relief and grief having made it through the toughest circumstances she had ever faced, feelings of utter exhaustion from the fight along side immense relief knowing she had done enough, it was time to be still and allow the feelings to flow. The doing was over, now it was time to feel it all, allowing the grief to run it’s course after holding it together being strong for too long. It was during this crash into darkness that she found all she had to do was strip down to the core of humanity and simply exist. In other words, just be.
This realisation of the simplicity of finding solace within pushed Melissa towards healing as she hopes “Just Be” can help others in their own healing journey and bring awareness to the epidemic of anxiety, depression and the possibilities of suicide prevention.
“Just Be” Press release
Her upcoming debut single “Just Be” is an audible amalgamation of Lissi Bos’s lifelong journey with music with the soft piano undercurrent flowing through dreamy beats. Her lyrics grow with the song from a place of melancholy to blossom into a resounding message of hope. The sonic structure of “Just Be” mirrors Melissa’s own soul-searching sojourn of breaking free from the weight of inner turmoil and finding peace, particularly in the bridge where her church upbringing is evident by the choir-like vocals. In addition to serving as a compelling message of hope for those who are battling their own darkness, “Just Be” also brings awareness to the importance of mental health. Fans can listen to “Just Be” on all platforms, big things to come from this fresh Aussie artist.
