Out now on NUFORM, Changing Faces‘ ‘Naughty Girl’ with vocals from LIIA highlights their shared roots in drum and bass. Titular producer Changing Faces, has made his mark with deep, rolling bass and timeless melodies inspired by acts like Command Strange. He has released tracks on outlets like UKF, and his live presence stood out at Rampage and a historic set at Tomorrowland in 2022 as Slovakia’s first DnB representative. LIIA, a 21-year-old singer-DJ from Slovakia now based in London, debuted with ‘Airplane Mode,’ topping the Hypeddit Charts. Though she has explored different sounds, DnB remains central, with collaborations alongside Gray and Pristage showing her skill for infusing subgenres like jump-up and jungle with charged vocal performances.
‘Naughty Girl’ rides the classic drum and bass wave with rapid-fire breakbeats around 170 BPM, all underpinned by a sub-bass that thrums through every layer. Changing Faces lays down a bed of fierce synths and raw textures, balancing precision with unstoppable momentum. LIIA‘s unmistakable vocals glide over the top, softening the track’s shadowy corners and adding a burst of clarity and color. The song sparkles with sharp rhythms and a breakdown laced with hints of eastern melody and subtle global influences. The end result is a soundscape that is both raw and welcoming, prioritizing dynamic shifts over sheer intensity.
Echoing drum and bass’ origins in the UK’s ’90s shift from hardcore jungle to bass-heavy innovation, this single blends Changing Faces‘ energetic output in his productions and festival slots with LIIA‘s expressive delivery. It stands as a testament to the genre’s ability to hold duality, offering fans a charged, unifying listen.
