‘Lost in Between’ addresses the struggles of under-represented communities in the music industry, and the challenge of imposter syndrome that they often face. The song explores how insecurities can hinder success, highlighting the internal battles that many musicians face, and aims to give a voice to listeners who struggle with self-doubt, encouraging them to overcome their challenges.
“After releasing my debut EP last year, I have been working in secret this year,” explains XTIE. “I have since set up my own label, and participated in multiple festivals and shows across Asia, UK and the USA to promote my new works.”
