Trinidadian-born artist Janiq steps into the spotlight with her latest single 'Dior', a fiery celebration of self-love and individuality wrapped in a Caribbean pop soundscape, set as a cheeky commentary on “tragic love” and the empowerment that comes from choosing yourself over toxic relationships.
Infused with the vibrant rhythms of soca and dancehall, 'Dior' reflects Janiq’s rich cultural heritage while nodding to her contemporary influences like Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Dua Lipa. Her commanding vocals, paired with a playful yet confident attitude, create a track that’s as empowering as it is fun. Janiq’s storytelling shines, as she juxtaposes the whirlwind drama of a past relationship with the realisation that self-worth trumps “struggle love” any day.
Her theatrical roots, honed on British stages in standout roles like Nala in The Lion King and Catherine Parr in Six, translate seamlessly into her music, bringing a dynamic energy and flair to her performance. Janiq’s bold declaration that “Romeo was a waste man” perfectly encapsulates the song’s unapologetic tone, making it both relatable and refreshingly candid.
With 'Dior', Janiq not only establishes her sound but also sets the tone for her burgeoning career as a vibrant and fearless voice in pop. It’s a dazzling introduction to an artist poised to make waves far beyond her Caribbean roots.
