Lisa Loriel: “Knowing I’m Next To Go”

Some songs begin as melodies.

Others begin as awareness.

Knowing I’m Next To Go didn’t start as a vocal record. It began as a feeling—one that would take years to fully speak.

“This song was always about knowing — not reacting.”

In 2020, Knowing I’m Next To Go was released as an instrumental, written and produced by imbheat and distributed to all major streaming platforms. No lyrics. No narrative. Just atmosphere. The track later became known as part of Scapes Vol. 1, establishing a sonic language built on space, restraint, and emotional anticipation.

Listen to the original foundation:

“Scapes wasn’t written to explain anything — it was written to be felt.”

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the instrumental found unexpected life on the Voisey app. Restricted to a 60-second loop format, the track inspired over 600 overdubs and cover interpretations from creators navigating isolation.

Each version was short.

Each version was different.

Yet the emotion stayed intact.

“Even inside a 60-second loop, the truth of the song survived.”

This era didn’t limit Scapes — it validated it.

In 2025, imbheat revisited the Scapes foundation through the Frequency Capsule Series, with The Genesis Capsule serving as a focused chapter. The intent wasn’t nostalgia. It was proof — proof that strong ideas don’t age, they wait.

The Genesis Capsule expanded Scapes beyond loops and fragments into a form capable of holding narrative and cinematic pacing.

“Vision didn’t change the song — it revealed it.”

This is where Lisa Loriel entered fully.

Lisa is a mixed-heritage artist (Caribbean & European) who was half raised in Denver, Colorado, currently in her early 20s. Her sound lives between cinematic R&B, soul, and atmospheric pop, but her defining trait is clarity. Her songwriting focuses on intuition, emotional distance, love without possession, and awareness before confrontation.

Her demo version of Knowing I’m Next To Go, written and produced by imbheat, finally gave lyrical language to what Scapes had always been saying without words.

“The song isn’t about a breakup — it’s about realizing you’re next.”

Since Scapes, Lisa Loriel and imbheat have written and recorded over 500 songs together, forming an expansive creative archive of 50+ full albums. These projects are being intentionally rationed for release, allowing each body of work to live in its own season rather than competing for attention.

Lisa moves seamlessly across the HEATWave ecosystem — creating through HEATWaveBeatClub, anchoring narrative on HEATWave.Buzz, and extending stories visually on HEATWave.Live. She aligns naturally with TULOM as a philosophy of mastery and with TRCDistro as a creator-first distribution model rooted in ownership and patience.

“She doesn’t chase attention — she anchors the ecosystem.”

The story reached its final form through a cinematic music video, produced by imbheat. Neon-lit nights, emotional distance, unresolved space — the visuals don’t explain the song. They sit with it.

“The video isn’t the ending — it’s the moment before truth arrives.”

Scapes didn’t evolve by changing what it was.

It evolved by being seen clearly.

And through that clarity, Lisa Loriel didn’t just find her voice — she became the female anchor of the entire HEATWave ecosystem, carrying its emotion, vision, and future forward through sound.

“Scapes wasn’t the destination. It was the ignition.”
