Taking things for granted is something many people have in common. We don’t realize how important these things, events, and even relationships are to us until they’re gone. Now, for the people who want to be treated the way they know they deserve, Tiana Kocher has got a new anthem for you.

“love u more” from her fresh off the presses EP “up to you”, spells out every feeling and frustration you could have with your significant lover. So, for the days when words don’t come easy, just send them this track and they’ll get the message loud and clear.

Manila-born, Los Angeles based Tiana Kocher has been active in the music scene since 2018 and continues to impress with this heartfelt bop, released on August 25 of this year. It was produced by J-Doe and Lonny Bereal.

As a contemporary R&B artist, she takes inspiration from the realms of pop and soul with the likes of Snoh Aalegra, Alex Isley, Yebba, Ambre, and JoJo as well as her environment, her peers, and her day-to-day life.

The story behind the track’s appearance on the EP is a sweet one. It was written when she was 17 years old, before her move to Los Angeles, and because it happens to be her mom’s all-time favorite song of hers, what better time to release it other than now?

The song pops off with an energetic “If I give in, you gonna stop doing all that you should. One argument, you giving me everything I want.” This paints the scene of initial frustration in the relationship where things only happen because she brings attention to them, not because her man actually wants to do them.

The message continues into the chorus with “I need you but I don’t, I’m leaving but I won’t, come see me leave me alone, hate you but I love you more” portraying the constant back and forth of negative thoughts and positive emotions that are ever present in most hot and heavy relationships. She accurately puts into words what many romantics can only feel in a track that shows off her authentic and soulful vocals. If you like the sound of that, check out “I choose”, “Slow it Down”, and the rest of her EP “up to you”.

With 6,000,000+ combined streams as an independent artist and 28,000+ monthly listeners on Spotify, Tiana Kocher is steadily growing a loyal fanbase from across the globe.

Spotify and Apple Music have supported several of her songs on official playlists, with listeners gushing over the young singer’s performances. Aside from the U.S., various international playlists also feature Tiana including the Philippines, Thailand, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Hong Kong and China.

Keep a look out for Tiana, this definitely won’t be the last time you’ve heard of her. It’s a pleasure to watch such a talented and hardworking artist continuously grow and make a name for herself on the international stage. What makes it even better is that she’s just getting started.

Whether you’re the person who feels they deserve a bit more out of the relationship, or you’re the one who should be picking up the slack, Tiana Kocher’s “love u more” is the best soundtrack for all your learning, loving, and growing.
