“The single ‘7th Grade Complex’ is about finding comfort in unsuccessful relationships because they help make you into the person you are,” Aliza Li told Remixd Magazine.
R&B artist Aliza Li just released a brand new sultry single called “7th Grade Complex” ft. Dessy and it’s everything we needed.
The love ballad shows off Aliza Li’s vocals as she delivers a powerful track that speaks on complicated love. The Atlanta, Georgia-based artist said in a recent interview that she knew that she wanted to pursue music at an early age in life, but just recently started taking it seriously.
“I was making a career change and moving states so I decided why not change my life in all aspects,” Aliza Li told Remixd Magazine. “I felt like I was starting over and I wanted to start over with things I wanted out of life. Life is short, why wait to go after what you want?”
Aliza Li’s new single “7th Grade Complex” shows off her range and creativity as an artist. The Jill Scott and Erykah Badu-inspired artist describes her sound as “classic R&B with soulful tones with sprinkles of hip hop.” As she is working to develop her sound since she’s still early in her career, the independent talent is being consistent in her efforts and is off to a great start.
The other singer featured on the track, Dessy, is talented as well and serves as the perfect voice to balance out Li’s soulful tone. Together, the two create an effortless melody that can be played on repeat over and over again.
We had the chance to interview Aliza Li about her new single as well as how she got her start in music. Keep reading to learn more.

My sound is classic R&B with soulful tones with sprinkles of hip hop.

It took me a while to “grow into myself” and what I mean by that is accepting me for me. Music is as much a part of my as my hair and my eyes. When I embraced myself, I embraced music.

Tell us about your new single “7th Grade Complex.” What’s it about?
The single “7th Grade Complex” is about finding comfort in unsuccessful relationships because they help make you into the person you are. Its a classic smooth R&B vibe with a feature from another talented singer named Dessy and lyrically-wise it’s as candid as it can be. Actually 7th grade was complex for me so it hits home a lot. The last solo single I released was called “Bit a lemon” which had a soulful jazzy feel.
What has the response been like to that project?
The response has been great! The feedback that I received was that is a smooth track with strong vocals. A lot of people seem to relate to the message of the song.
What are some projects you’ve done in the past that you are most proud of and why?
I love all my projects but if I really had to pick, I would say my first EP Sometimes I get High because I had so much going on personally that it almost didn’t happen. For me it solidified this music thing is real.
What’s next for you? Are you working on any upcoming projects we should be on the lookout for?
I’m currently working on another EP but this one will be very different from anything I’ve previously put out. I’m shooting for some time in 2021 if the stars align.
What message do you hope fans take away from your music?
That whatever you are going through, you’re not alone and it’s never too late to start embracing yourself!
