Lyan Paris is an alternative hip-hop duo from Canada. Ryan Goulding and Luke Marshall, both just 19 years old, have been friends since grade school and their bond has only solidified by releasing music together.
Their lyrics deal with everything from heartbreak to the pros and cons of youth.
They constantly switch up their style to encompass everything from upbeat party inspired bangers to more thoughtful melodic raps.
With their new single, “Live Fast”, the pair have come out swinging. This track is a polished melodic hip-hop song that verges on pop music. That’s not a slight toward them at all. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
This intro to this song is almost indistinguishable from huge artists like Post Malone. As soon as the first verse starts, I noticed the pure speed at which these two deliver their bars. This is one of the things that sets them light years ahead of the competition.
From the very beginning of the track it’s clear that Lyan Paris are experts at melody and harmony.
The almost playful piano twinkles in and out of the beat. This is equal parts trap and pop, and I think that’s where the mainstream is headed over time.
At points, the verses seem almost frantic. It’s as though both of these guys are barely able to contain themselves. As a listener, you can tell these two use their music as a vehicle for emotional release.
