As debut singles go, ‘Unaware’ is an unexpectedly good effort. The record feels immersive, yet nuanced and fragile. That’s what we love the most about it, its vulnerability and elegance. Maintaining a low-profile, energy-wise, the song packs tons of relatability and poignancy within its three-minute borders; this makes for a soulful, attention-catching listening experience, with Delja’s vocals dancing gracefully over acoustic guitars and light percussions. Her lyrical delivery works perfectly, wrapping the listeners in luscious and sleazy stamina.
Based in London, Delja showcases an exciting artistic vision; drenched in R&B and pop influences, her output feels fresh, while anchored in tradition. ‘Unaware’ is the perfect example of it: built on a rather classic soul ballad formula, the track quickly escapes its own references, resulting in a record that stands up fully on its own merit.
Produced by Alessandro Grasso, ‘Unaware’ focuses on the highs and lows around a heartbreak. With its passionate, love-filled lyricism, we are confident the song will relate to a wide audience. Frankly, we cannot wait to see Delja flourish into a fully-fledged songstress – more to come.
