lyhz, an independent R&B artist hailing from Toronto, ON, blends the rich legacies of African American soul with contemporary r&b-pop stylings prevalent in her city. Influenced by gospel, soul, jazz, and r&b, her musical journey reflects a deep sense of identity shaped by these genres. In her song Temporary, lyhz draws inspiration from her experiences as a temp/contract worker and her fleeting romantic encounters. The track explores the transient nature of relationships and opportunities, longing for connections that endure beyond fleeting moments. Through her music, lyhz captures the universal desire for lasting relationships and meaningful experiences amidst life’s transience.
“I wrote ‘Temporary’ coming from a place of constant disappointment that opportunities, relationships and people around me, that I longed to hold as permanent fixtures in my life, were constantly fleeting, in stark contrast to how I valued them,” says lyhz. “Despite the disappointment, this is reflection on the power of letting go all that is Temporary, to make room for the acceptance that growth is moving on from short-term situations and relationships – it is only when we let go of things that don’t serve us, do we give ourselves space to find and accept everything we are truly destined for.”
