Trinidadian artist Janiq is ready to make waves with her new single 'Dior'. A high-energy anthem fusing Caribbean pop with modern R&B, 'Dior' is equally playful and empowering.
‘Dior’ is a celebration of self-confidence, individuality, and moving on from toxic love—wrapped in a catchy, danceable package. The song’s lyrics reflect Janiq’s personal experience with a whirlwind romance that ultimately turned sour. “With my ex, it was like a fairytale love—super dramatic, like Romeo and Juliet,” she explains. “But in the end, it was toxic. I was caught up in the chaos, doing dumb things. Long story short, I got blocked and deleted.” Through ‘Dior’, Janiq turns that heartache into an anthem of empowerment, jokingly poking fun at the notion of tragic love while celebrating the freedom that comes with letting go.
Musically, ‘Dior’ blends the infectious rhythms of soca and dancehall with the smooth vocals of R&B, giving it a fresh yet familiar vibe. Drawing inspiration from pop icons like Beyoncé, Rihanna, SZA, and Dua Lipa, Janiq channels their fearless energy while adding her own vibrant twist.
Known for her standout performances in the West End as Nala in The Lion King and Queen Catherine Parr in Six, Janiq brings the same magnetic stage presence to her music. With ‘Dior’, she’s proving that she’s not just a theatre star—she’s a force to be reckoned with in the global pop scene.
The track is a glimpse into Janiq’s upcoming EP, promising more of her signature mix of Caribbean flavour and bold pop energy. Keep an eye on this rising star.
