Rising Kent born talent Tia Gordon delivers ‘backwards loving’ her first release of 2025, taken from her upcoming EP, wait! I have something to say. x – set for release on April 9.

Intricately produced instrumentation lays the perfect foundation for Tia’s effortless vocals and rich tone. Known for her vulnerable and honest lyricism, the rising talent channels the complexities of being in love: “you had me stressed out, burnt out, losing my mind, I wish we didn’t take the time, soon enough you’re back in my arms,” she pleads as an ode to the universal insecurities that present themselves when you open your heart. Laced with nostalgic harmonies and luscious backing vocals, ‘backwards loving’ comes as a heartfelt breath of fresh air in the R&B scene.

Talking on the track, Tia tells us: “I wrote ‘backwards loving’ with the amazing Pip Millet and producer Darryl Dodoo. We wrote it about loving someone again and how insecurities and second guessing yourself can creep in but that loving each other in the end is worth it.”
