Anitha Kandasamy, better known at Lyhre, is the solo project of the Berlin-based multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, producer, and pretty much everything in between! Soaring back into the scene with her latest single “Parasite,” Lyhre explores a creative conquest through a beautiful blend of lyrical perspectives and compelling narratives.

Proving to be boundaryless when it comes to her unique soundscape, her identity stays entirely fluid, floating between euphoric electronica, alt-rock and dreamy pop. Offering a completely unique introspection in her latest single, she explains, “I think this is made clear by the biological context of the term. The cohabitation of two organisms for one-sided benefit is thus called parasitism. What distinguishes parasitism from others is that parasites do not necessarily kill their hosts, but rather use them systematically. A dead host is useless to the parasite. Accordingly, there is the parasite and the system that sustains the parasite.”

Hoping to inspire listeners to have the courage to see something different than the inevitable, she explores the parasitic way of living through melodious metaphors, showcasing the cohabitation of two organisms for one-sided benefit. Revealing that the perfect time to listen to her latest single is in the depths of rain, she continues, “We always think that there is this boundary between me and you, or subject and nature, forgetting that all our skin is perforated... So when it rains and for anyone writhing out of an abusive relationship. For anyone who is overcoming, has overcome, or will overcome something or someone, Parasite is rain on your skin that may make you less lonely for a moment.”

Whether it’s Lyhre’s resonating resilience, bulging musical backdrop or lyrical bliss that listeners fall in love with, her repertoire continues to carve out an outstanding musical persona. We can’t wait to see what the talented singer-songwriter delves into next!
