Hua Li 化力 Releases New Song “Cherrier”
Montreal-based Chinese-Canadian rapper Hua Li 化力 released a new song “Cherrier” along with a music video on December 5, 2023 via Next Door Records.
The track was written by Peggy Hogan and produced by Alexander Thibault. The accompanying video was directed by Peggy Hogan.
Hua Li 化力 said of the song, “Cherrier is a song about coming of age in the late noughties in the Montreal neighbourhood, Plateau-Mont Royal. Grounded by a driving synth bass line, the song leaps from 2009 to 2019 and back again as I attempt to overturn traumatic memories of people and places I tried to avoid but kept getting pulled back to as a performer and DJ.”
She continued, “Thankfully, since writing this song, I’ve been able to kiss again on rue Cherrier and reclaim these parts of the city from a place of healing and celebration.”- Hua Li 化力 shared on social media, “It means so much to me to bring you this first song from a huge body of new work I’ve been crafting over the last couple years. It’s a song that celebrates growth, transformation, rebirth and taking the past back to rewrite new positivity onto experiences that have scarred us.”
She added, “I’m proud to say that I directed and edited the video myself with the incredible support and championing from DoP Simona Lepadatu. I couldn’t have gotten here without friends and collaborators like her.” -
