Today, Aasiva is sharing another new track, "Piqatiikka", produced by Jace Lasek (Wolf Parade, The Jerry Cans, Stars) and featuring JUNO Award nominated and Polaris Music Prize long-listed nominee, Riit.
Aasiva outlines the themes used in the song, “Piqatiikki” (which in English translates to My Friends) and how they inspired the video. “We all go through difficult situations in life,” says Aasiva. “Often the ones who support me are my friends and family. They are my rock! This song helps me express my gratitude for their unconditional love and support towards myself and my career as an artist. I love my family and friends so dearly.”
