about

On September 30, Tiara & Andrew are releasing their lead single and title track, How Real Are We?, ahead of their full album that will be out early next year on Grimalkin Records.

Tiara & Andrew are an alternative folk-pop duo based out of the countryside of Virginia. Their haunting yet ethereal sound creates a cinematic atmosphere. 👽

How Real Are We? (title track) was birthed out of conversations Tiara would have with her mother. Confiding in her mother all the feelings of existential dread, Tiara's mother would reply,

"This is all a simulation anyway, why attach a real feeling if we are all glitched in the matrix?"

The song writing process started off as a joke and to pay homage to her mother's conspiracy ideologies, but it quickly became a song of 'home'.

"Sometimes when the world feels like its falling apart around me I look to blissful thinking of my mom's view of this planet. " -Tiara Mustafa

lyrics

like you a lot
I dig your vibe
It's so unfair
How you're sitting over there
Unbothered
You see the world's at a state
You seem unfazed
All in your head
In your own lane
Unbothered

Can I be like you
I wanna be like you
Do the things you do
Wanna be like , wanna be like

As the world's in flames
I feel I'm going insane
Does it even matter
Does it even matter
I can stare at you all day
You don't know my name
Does it even matter
Does it even matter

What is the point of worrying
It's all a game
It's as real as you and me
But how real are we
Can you show me your ways
I'm obsessed with your energy
Let it rain down on me
Rain down on me

Can I be like you
I wanna be like you
Think the way you do
Wanna be like
Wanna be like

As the world's in flames
I feel I'm going insane
Does it even matter
Does it even matter
Wanna be on your wave
You don't know my name
Does it even matter
Does it even matter

Be like you
Be like you
Be like you
Feel the way you do
Be like you
Wanna be like
Wanna be like
