"TiaCorine's breakthrough single, " Lotto," was a necessary evolution of the DIY Soundcloud era in 2018: whimsical, danceable, and unabashedly underground. Hearing it for the first time felt like crash landing on a new planet. Since then, the North Carolina rapper's music and overall character has retained an otherworldly quality across a bevy of EP's and a full-length debut that produced her first national hit and a salacious new nickname, " FreakyT.""
"Tia's second studio album, CORINIAN, is less experimental than 2022's I Can't Wait. On that record, she flowed and sang over heavier production inspired by rock and electronic music, her rage seething under the surface of songs like " Rocket," and " Rockstar." With CORINIAN, Tia smoothes out those edges for a cleaner but still daring project that never slows down."
TiaCorine burst onto the scene with the 2018 single 'Lotto', blending whimsical, danceable DIY SoundCloud aesthetics with an otherworldly persona. The North Carolina rapper maintained that quality across EPs and a debut that yielded a national hit and the nickname 'FreakyT.' CORINIAN pares back some of the experimentation of 2022's I Can't Wait for a cleaner, relentless project that still feels daring. 'Buttercup' showcases Kenneth Blume's standout production, while collaborations like 'Lotion' with Flo Milli nod to early '90s horn-driven radio hits. Dreamier tracks such as 'Different Color Stones' and 'Booty' highlight unpredictable flows and sonic reinvention.
