Tatiana Lima is a New Jersey-based Brazilian/American pop singer, songwriter, and musician who has just released new music under the name of “Hollywood”, charged with glitz, glamour, and harsh realities of the renowned entertainment industry.
With its upbeat rock style, the song offers a refreshing perspective on the allure and pitfalls of chasing dreams in the City of Angels.
I’ll be the biggest star of your movie
Moan so loud gotta watch me in Dolby
You can’t resist it show me
I’m the greatest actress
You can reward me
(…)
The opening instrumentation immediately grabs attention, blending pop and rock elements to create a catchy and infectious melody. The message behind the song was inspired by fame, objectification, and celebrity culture. It delves into the dichotomy of dreams and reality, providing a glimpse into the harsh truths of the entertainment industry, where success often comes at a steep price.
Through the song, Tatiana paints a picture of the glitzy facade that can blind aspiring artists while simultaneously, exposing the darker side of the pursuit of fame.
“Hollywood was created during a time I was doubting myself and my artistry due to the toxic energies I allowed in my environment. (…) Whenever I am in a dark place, I say “I’m gonna make it” over and over again which became the hook of ‘Hollywood’”
As a big believer in words of affirmation and the law of attraction, Tatiana thinks that if you can speak it and believe it-it will be yours with hard work and persistence.
Musically, “Hollywood” combines contemporary pop sensibilities with rock-inspired instrumentation. The driving drums, pulsating bassline, and vibrant guitar riffs create an energetic and engaging backdrop that perfectly complements the song’s lyrical themes.
The music video that’s coming out on July 21st -directed by Carl Timpone- highlights the exploitation of a rising artist as she navigates the realms of fame and recognition. The visual deeply delves into the theme of objectification, shedding light on the relentless scrutiny faced by public figures, especially women and influencers, and the constant pressure to conform to societal expectations.
