I Am Not I is the first studio album by the American recording artist Liza Fox and Hungarian DJ Jus Grata. It was released on August 6, 2015. I Am Not I explores a unique combination of EDM, pop, and electro house. Recording sessions took place between October 2014 and April 2015 at Paramount Recording Studios, Encore Recording Studios, and The Invisible Studios in Los Angeles, California.
Of the album's six tracks, the first five were written by Liza Fox and Jus Grata. The last track is Jus Grata's remix of the single "Unlimited" written by Liza Fox, Jus Grata, and Italian DJ Mario Romano.
Music videos
The album had two music videos released for its title track "I Am Not I." The first video depicts the singer's ordeal to raise awareness of bipolar disorder[1] and MusicDish considered it "the true epic of Liza Fox and her struggle."[2] The second video features the Wideboys sax trap remix with music visualization from the hypnotic rhythm game Audiosurf 2.[3]
Reception
The album has received rave reviews. DJ Robert Scott called it "a marvelous pop/dance affair of the highest order"[4] and ACM Computers in Entertainment predicted that "it will surely become a rage in the EDM circuits."[5] On October 1, I Am Not I reached #1 on ReverbNation's U.S. and global EDM charts.[6] The title track I Am Not I peaked at #15 on the U.K. Music Week Commercial Pop Club Chart and #41 on the U.S. Billboard Dance Club Songs Chart.
Hollywood Weekly featured Liza Fox on the cover of its September 2015 issue (health and wellness edition). The magazine praised the "I Am Not I" album:
Liza Fox makes a smash with her new album "I Am Not I" which brings a hypnotic beat and mesmerizing music... Undoubtedly, Liza's raw talent results in an album with songs that take you on a journey of the senses; one which tantalizes the mind with mixed feelings. Like Liza's colorful personality, her songs also exhibit each distinctive color shining in the rainbow; each lighter and darker hue. One embarks on a zealous dancing-dynamic disposition with her single "Unlimited" to an imperious sort of trance while deciphering the complex meaning behind "I Am Not I." Think of her album as perfect for both a high-intensity workout and for setting a sultry mood. Rarely does an artist grasp so many diverse sentiments within only one album. And this is just one of the reasons Liza Fox is so far distinguished from other singers and songwriters.[7]
