Introducing Liliana
Liliana
A Melodic Dance Newcomer Delivering Warmth, Clarity, and Summer Nostalgia In The Dead of Winter.
Meet Liliana Abkhazava, who goes solely by Liliana. In July 2025, she released her fourth single, “Summer,” co-written in London with UK-based music producers Lloyd Hinshelwood and Theo Duke. From the opening bars, Liliana’s soft, airy vocal delivery and thoughtful songwriting establish the track’s carefree summer mood. Something we currently need to help us feel warm and excited for Summer while being in the dead of winter. The song captures an effortless sense of warmth, balancing lightness and emotional clarity while remaining firmly rooted in the dance genre.
The production is intentionally clean and restrained, allowing the songwriting to take the lead. An acoustic guitar line anchors the track, adding a natural, sun-soaked texture that keeps the sound fresh and approachable. Liliana’s vocals sit gently within the mix, complementing the melody rather than overpowering it, while maintaining a distinct presence that feels both intimate and radio-ready.
“With this song, I wanted to create a warm summer dance sound for endless groovy days and nights. Whether you’re driving along the seacoast singing the chorus to yourself, relaxing at a beach club, or dancing through the night, my intention was for this track to find its way onto your favourite summer playlist”
From a songwriting perspective, “Summer” highlights Liliana’s strength as a storyteller. Her lyrics are carefully chosen, direct, and emotionally accessible, painting a vivid picture of fleeting summer romance and the early moments of falling in love. Rather than relying on clichés, she uses simple, well-placed phrases to create imagery listeners can easily relate to—whether experienced as a personal memory or a seasonal daydream. This clarity in lyrical construction reflects a strong understanding of how emotional connection functions within contemporary dance music.
Structurally, the song benefits from a smooth, gradual instrumental build in the second half, subtly lifting the energy without disrupting the laid-back flow. At just over three minutes, “Summer” is designed for repeat listening, with a melodic topline that lingers long after the track ends, encouraging emotional re-engagement.
As a release, “Summer” functions as both a seasonal anthem and a statement of Liliana’s evolving artistic identity. Serving as a tribute to beach clubs, late-night drives, and open-air dance floors while reinforcing her ability to merge feel-good energy with polished songwriting. For listeners drawn to light, melodic dance music with strong vocal hooks and lyrical intention, “Summer” positions Liliana as an artist to watch and builds anticipation for her future releases within the uplifting dance space.
