Features : Indie Singer-songwriter Lizz Pens a Song for Healing in Latest Single ‘There’s A Place’

Singaporean singer-songwriter Lizz shares her recent single, “There’s A Place,” an ode to healing in the face of suffering and war. The single is the artist’s long-awaited release and comes at a crucial time in our world, where pain and struggle are often in the limelight.

For Lizz, music is a lifelong love affair. During her childhood, Lizz’s grandmother accompanied her to many live concerts, instilling in the young girl a love of music. “I have always loved music, but only started writing music in my 30s,” tells the artist. “I did mostly acting jobs and stage shows during my 20s.”

Prior to releasing music, Lizz was cast in Director Ho Tzu Nyen’s feature film, Here. Lizz then turned to music with a self-titled EP in 2009, which earned a nomination at the Singapore E-Awards for Best Indie Album. In 2010, Lizz shared her second EP, Next, featuring two songs released on major networks. In 2013, Lizz released a single, “You got me Spinnin’ Round,” followed by two more singles, “Addicted Love” and “Destiny,” in 2020.

Writing music is a source of comfort for the artist. “I love to write songs about love,” she adds. “Hopefully, more people will get to know my music and love it as well.”

“There’s a Place” is a song that has been waiting nine years to blossom. “I wrote this song 9 years ago (2014), but at that time, it was without a chorus melody,” explains Lizz. Throughout the past year, she kept returning to the song, driven to finally complete it. While the song originated from a personal experience, it has since transformed into an homage to people suffering across the world.

“This song is dedicated to all victims of war and terror, all survivors of abuse, people who feel not loved and alone, people who are struggling with their everyday life,” shares Lizz of the depth of meaning surrounding her single. “I hope this song heals the broken hearts and broken souls, I hope it brings comfort to you during difficult times.”

Through “There’s A Place,” Lizz hopes to reassure us that “For those suffering or been through trauma of any sorts, there’s a place.” This place isn’t the same for everyone, yet the concept is universal.

“The Place during the time I wrote this song was God,” adds Lizz, “but for you it might be your family, your home, your partner or a friend, that place where you feel safe, where you feel loved, you call home, you call love.  NEVER NEVER GIVE UP.”
