2) Progressive / Rock band from Perth, Australia
3) Producer and turntablist from Brno, Czech Republic
1) Electronic outfit Opia make atmospheric, R&B-influenced pop informed by their love of EDM, singer/songwriter folk, and a cappella vocals. Formed in Los Angeles in 2016, Opia feature the talents of fellow Yale graduates singer/guitarist Cole Citrenbaum, singer/keyboardist DJ Stanfill, and singer/producer Jacob Reske (aka colorthought).
2) OPIA are a three piece from Perth WA (Australia) - Progressive / Rock would best describe the trio. The songs are Powerful and catchy, and full of inspiration and meaning.
It has been a long time since protest songs came wielding acoustic guitars and daisies. Instead, in this post-revolution world, the music reflects the sheer electrification and volume of modern technology; and the lyrics – while no longer concerned with a single shadowy figure or government – reflect a universal feeling of malaise that can either speak on behalf of one single man, or their entire planet.
A galaxy away from the menial concerns of the workaday life and the loves and hates it brings; Opia are writing music to move mountains. Sonically and philosophically, there is a common fight in their music. A protest.
Led by the versatile singing of Michael Bok, whose own range perfectly glues the band’s softest tones to their heaviest, Opia are not a band that is ‘post’ or ‘pre’ anything... they are what is happening right now, in real time. In this, the most literal of senses, Opia’s music is progressive. It is moving forward and evolving even at this very second, as a complexity of genuine thoughts, propelled into the world by cyclonic walls of guitar and drums.
And trying to capture a cyclone in a bottle is no easy task. Engineered by the rapidly up-and-coming Adam Round, and Mastered by über producer Forrester Savell; Opia’s 2013 debut album is a stunningly balanced journey into music that can be as ethereal and light as it can be earthy and heavy. And while bands will often sacrifice their tone in pursuit of such heaviness, Opia’s tone is their heaviness. Just like their lyrics, Opia’s sound has come from the depths of sincerity.
Already a coveted live band in their hometown of Perth, One Minute Ago finds Opia on the edge of the Nullarbor, looking out to the highway with ambition and yearning. For all of the power and self-expression that has gone into their debut album, Opia can deliver it tenfold in person, on stage, amps cranked.
3) Dj Opia was a member of legendary Brno rap crew Naše Věc active from 1997 to 2006. As solo he released few mixtapes and two albums so far.

Opia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thirteen blocks in pouring rain
And all the darkness of this place
I may never be the same
You could say we took our time
Traded silence back and forth
What a day to lose my mind
The way I'm talking in my sleep
And when I dream, you're there with me
You're leaving me faded
I'd say three words to keep you here
But every fear is leaving me faded, you're leaving me faded
A couple months through other eyes
Entire lifetimes pass through mine
I've forgotten all their names
But I still dream about that face
Breaking habits overnight
Scattered pieces on the floor
All the fragments of my mind
I'm so much different than before
The way I'm talking in my sleep
And when I dream, you're there with me
You're leaving me faded
I'd say three words to keep you here
But every fear is leaving me faded, you're leaving me faded
It's no different than before
It's no different than before
I'm gonna box the pain
Wait for the summer rain
Heaven knows that I adore you
Heaven knows that I care
I'm gonna box up the pain
Wait for the summer to rain
Heaven knows that I adore you
Heaven knows that I care
Heaven knows that I adore you
Heaven knows that I care
Heaven knows that I adore you
Heaven knows that I care
The way I'm talking in my sleep
And when I dream, you're there with me
You're leaving me faded
I'd say three words to keep you here
But every fear is leaving me faded, you're leaving me faded
Opia's song "Faded" is a poignant reflection on the human experience of loss, pain, and longing. The lyrics begin with the singer taking a walk on New Year's Day, thirteen blocks in pouring rain. The darkness of the place they walk through hints at the emotional turmoil within the singer, as they imply they may never be the same. They then proceed to share how they spent time with someone on this day, trading silence back and forth. The day seems to have pushed the singer over the edge, as they lose their mind and find themselves so much different than before.
The second verse signals the passage of time, as the singer reflects on a couple of months that feel like entire lifetimes have passed. They dream of someone's face, but have forgotten their name, and the scattered pieces of their mind attest to changes that have occurred. The chorus repeats the phrase "leaving me faded" several times, capturing the feeling of being slowly drained away by the pain of loss and the fear of rejection.
The bridge gives a sense of resolution, as the singer decides to box up the pain and wait for the summer rain. The chorus repeats once more, providing a sense of closure to the song. Overall, "Faded" is a beautiful expression of the human experience, capturing the complexities and nuances of loss and longing.

Keep on trying Opia, I wasn't too much a fan of this song but I still think your on the right track, never give up and never loose hope, you are going to be an iconic music figure in the future, believe in yourself and your friends who have helped you get to this point.
