With “Perfect Place,” the first single from her upcoming Losing, Linda, she introduces another: the eponymous Linda. Over gentle synths and a persistent beat, Zhen sings lyrics that would feel empty if her robotic delivery didn’t make them vaguely threatening. “You think it will be endless (time)/That you can put it off ’til later/But time doesn’t stop, it won’t give up,” she intones. The disjointed vocals call out like uncanny, auto-generated notifications from a mindfulness app. Though she sings of a “perfect place,” all she reveals is that it is “quiet” and “gentle.” Its presence can’t be placed; it’s always beyond, just out of reach. “I just can’t explain it, it does something to me,” she promises, as the beat picks up. Though still concerned with how we exist online, “Perfect Place” is less about the construction of identity than with how those identities are condemned to persist, no matter how fragmented or obscured they become. The character Linda also inhabits a website that extends the theme of digital selfhood. A softly glitching image of her face fills the screen, and a prompt asks what you see when you sleep. Type your answer, and it floats over her closed eyes. A new question appears: Where should she go? After you respond, there’s one more: Where is your perfect place? Send it, and allow the intimate gesture of the idea to linger in digital nothingness, a fragment of your digital self mingling with Zhen’s own.

强调极简的氛围,用最简单的合成器渲染出轻巧的禅意。声音里透着冰冷的机械感,却描绘出了宽阔的自然之景 Being A Woman / Perfect Place / I Could Be There
