TDJ and Clara Kimera debut “On and On (You Lie),” a bittersweet trance-pop anthem and video laced with nostalgia.
TDJ unveils her latest collaboration, teaming up with Clara Kimera for the new single “On and On (You Lie),” out now via Collection Disques Durs/All Night Long. The track marks TDJ’s first release of the year and sets the tone for a new chapter in her evolving catalog.
“On and On (You Lie)” fuses emotional vulnerability with the uplifting rush of trance-pop. At its core is Clara Kimera’s heartfelt delivery, where she sings, “I waste my life for us / You lie / Don’t wake me.” The lyrics drift between heartbreak and hope, striking a balance that feels deeply personal yet widely relatable.
The accompanying video matches the track’s melancholic euphoria. Directed in a hazy, surreal style, it features TDJ and Kimera in a dreamy journey bathed in soft light, evoking the energy of classic anime and coming-of-age fantasy films. The visuals enhance the song’s theme—hanging onto a beautiful illusion, even if it’s not real.
Clara Kimera’s contribution as a lyricist, singer, and producer adds a distinctive emotional layer to TDJ’s signature blend of nostalgic trance and introspective songwriting. Geneviève Ryan-Martel, better known as TDJ, continues to explore the space between electronic intensity and emotional storytelling.
Fans can catch TDJ on tour at several key festivals this summer, including EDC Las Vegas, Emporium Festival in the Netherlands, Dreamstate Chicago, and France’s Woodstower Festival.
