What happens when a songwriter who’s written for Alicia Keys and Macy Gray decides to stop surviving other people’s visions — and starts telling her own story?
On ‘Cactus’ (out April 3), Loud Tiger – the project of Danish songwriter Viktoria Siff – turns chronic illness, emotional fallout and questions of identity into a cinematic desert-pop album about resilience and self-respect.
Yes, there’s banjo, lap steel and a dusty western atmosphere. But beneath that surface, this is a record about keeping your dignity when your body fails you, about choosing yourself over destructive love, and about rebuilding when life shifts beneath your feet.
Viktoria spent years in London and Los Angeles writing for international artists (including a JUNO-winning collaboration with JJ Wilde), before carving out her own territory as Loud Tiger. On ‘Cactus’, she lets the pop hooks hit hard while the themes cut even deeper.
