Tiana Khasi (@tianakhasi) is a Naarm/Melbourne-based Samoan Indian artist from Australia. Not too long ago, she made a deliciously audacious return with her latest single, “Good As It Gets,” her first new release since 2022 that heralds the beginning of her boldest chapter yet.
Tiana Khasi – “Good As It Gets” Single
“Good As It Gets” is a sleek, vibrant anthem rooted in late ‘90s/early 2000s R&B but facing firmly toward the future with magnetic pop flair; a reminder to all that the real magic lies in embracing your inner paradoxes and a powerful moment of self-determination for the jazz-educated artist who adds more color to her sonic palette than ever before.
Decorated with jaw-droppingly playful samples and Khasi’s heavenly signature stacks around her vocals, the song came to life organically following an APRA Song Hubs Sydney session that inspired her to connect with musician Jazmine Khan and local producer Finbar Stuart.
Tiana Khasi explains, “Culturally, I’ve experienced how humility can suffocate potential – but I know that being confident and having the audacity to claim that doesn’t take away from the intention or heart behind what you’re doing. I’m not sure if this is what people would expect from me after [my debut EP] Meghalaya, but this side of me has always existed. We knew we were onto something when Brae (Boy Soda) popped his head in pulling the meanest stank face. I love starting the session as strangers and leaving the studio six hours later with a song that never used to exist.”
“I’m lucky and I’m clever, a sinner and a saint, poured in equal measure.”
Tiana Khasi’s catalog boasts over 11 million streams, cementing her status as one of the bright lights of neo-soul and indie R&B in Australia. Her accolades stretch beyond industry praise and awards, and she has been hand-picked to open for Masego, Kaiit, Pip Millett, Mildlife, and Cécile McLorin Salvant. Also, she has captivated festival audiences at VIVID Sydney, A Festival Called Panama, Dark MOFO, and WOMADelaide; and she has appeared on stages at Splendour In The Grass and Up Late at NGV.
