Edmonton, AB — Hurry Hard Records proudly unveils “Live, With Pleasure”, the latest from VISSIA, available now across major digital streaming platforms. This release encapsulates the electrifying energy and emotional depth of VISSIA's 2021 cross-Canada tour.

"Live, With Pleasure" is not just a live album; it is a full-fledged concert documentary that provides an immersive look into VISSIA's tour life and artistic process. Filmed during a string of performances supporting the Canadian alternative band USS, the documentary showcases live renditions of every song from VISSIA's acclaimed 2021 album "With Pleasure," paired with intimate behind-the-scenes footage.

VISSIA's journey through the rigorous tour schedule, covering immense distances and performing under the challenges of era-defining conditions, highlights her dedication and passion for music. "Creating this live album and film was a labor of love," VISSIA reflects. "It required a blend of madness and genius from my entire team, and the experience forged on the road is palpable in every note and frame of the film."

The project also stands out for its high-quality production values. The Dolby Atmos mix available on Apple Music and TIDAL enhances the auditory experience, allowing fans to feel every dimension of the live performance. Meanwhile, the stereo version ensures accessibility for all listeners, providing them with the pleasure of VISSIA’s live energy.

The narrative is enriched by VISSIA’s poignant lyrics that resonate throughout the tour. In "My Wom", VISSIA celebrates empowerment and self-assurance with powerful lines: "My wom don’t settle for crumbs / She takes the whole damn cake... She’s only doing what feels right, keepin’ it tight, movin’ with the music / Needs no one’s approval to dance." This track, with its vibrant and affirming lyrics, is a tribute to strong, unapologetic women everywhere.

In "Walk Me Home", VISSIA explores themes of strength and vulnerability: "Nothing’s wrong with being strong, but I don’t need to carry it all / Sometimes I need somebody to walk me home." This track highlights the importance of support and connection, which are central to VISSIA's narrative of personal growth through music.

Furthermore, the album features unique spoken word pieces such as, "With Pleasure", where VISSIA encapsulates the essence of the album and tour: "Touring this record felt like an embodiment of what this album feels like to me: exciting and raw and sometimes terrifying, underscored by playfulness and a desire for connection." This introspective narration offers listeners a glimpse into the emotional and physical landscapes traversed during her creative journey.

"Live, With Pleasure" is a testament to VISSIA’s dedication as an independent artist, her resilience on tour, and her passion for a creative life that connects deeply with audiences. It’s a remarkable milestone in her career, offering a powerful, immersive experience of her music and storytelling.
