LIANZI – “I WANT WHAT THEY HAVE”

“I WANT WHAT THEY HAVE” by LIANZI is an absolute knockout of a dark electro-pop track. The San Francisco producer crafted something that hooks you instantly while digging into social envy and it takes on comparison culture with a clever satirical spin. The track looks at how we trick ourselves into believing that having someone else’s life would solve our problems. What really catches my ear is how LIANZI avoids just pointing fingers at other people. She pulls herself directly into the exact same trap, making the song sound incredibly honest and sharp.

The production behind “I WANT WHAT THEY HAVE” brings a pulsing club-ready energy driven by house rhythms. It creates a fascinating contrast because the beat forces you to move immediately, yet the mood underneath stays unsettled. You get hit with high energy but there is a distinct darkness hovering right below the surface. This balance keeps you hooked from start to finish.

The visual side of “I WANT WHAT THEY HAVE” matches this moody atmosphere well and the artwork features LIANZI sitting in a dusty barn surrounded by straw, wearing a long green drape with a box TV resting over their face displaying static. It captures that eerie sense of disconnection and noise that fits the music perfectly.

Personally, I love this release, and I think LIANZI created a masterpiece here. If you are hearing her for the first time, you should definitely check out her previous releases. Tracks like her award-winning “Big Gulp” and “Happy Fucking Birthday” will give you a full picture of her incredible talent. She consistently crafts exciting electronic music by blending dark house and art-pop.

Make sure to follow LIANZI across her social channels and streaming platforms so you do not miss any of the new releases she has planned for the rest of this year. She is a brilliant independent creator who writes and produces everything herself. Keeping up with her current journey is going to be so rewarding as more amazing music arrives before the year ends.
