Aliza Li steps boldly into Atlanta’s thriving R&B and neo-soul landscape with TRU, a three-track EP that wastes no time proving its weight. Compact yet rich, the project showcases Li’s ability to fuse silky tones with unflinching self-reflection, offering listeners both intimacy and inspiration. Opening with “Call Tru,” she delivers a manifesto of vulnerability and empowerment, gliding between rap-like cadences and soulful melodies as if letting the audience in on a private journal entry. The result is music that feels less like performance and more like revelation — a confident declaration that Li’s voice demands attention.

What follows cements her growing presence. “Glow” radiates optimism, airy but grounded, a sonic reminder that growth means stepping into the light as much as sitting with the shadows. By the closer, “Occasionally Telepathic,” Li circles back to contemplation, embracing the uneven rhythm of healing with haunting textures and lyrical depth. In just three songs, TRU feels expansive, cohesive, and emotionally resonant, positioning Aliza Li as a fresh force carving her lane in Atlanta’s scene. With this release, she doesn’t just share her story — she sets a new standard for how honesty can sound in R&B.
