Elegance and eclecticism: all qualities you’ll find in Dame Zina’s latest effort, ‘Fairytales’. A stunning, balanced and highly evocative record, the album takes the listeners into the luscious and evocative world of the French daughter/father duo, while getting inspired by their soothing soundscapes, edgy grooves and quirky avant-garde stylings. Crowning it all, Dame Zina’s majestic and cathartic vocals, delivered with charisma and intensity.
When delving into ‘Fairytales’, the keen music lover is bound to connect with a variety of quirky and edgy material. Take ‘Alone’, for instance; built over long soundscapes and arpeggiated synthetisers, the track is incredibly spiritual and pompous, even complex, with glitchy drum machines and organic percussions all dancing together into an intricate tapestry of rhythms.
Fast forward to ‘Fatalités’, and the listeners will enter a steadier world of trip-hop stylings and pop melodies, declined through the avant-garde and experimental lenses of Dame Zina. Speaking about the lyrical inspiration behind the album, they explain: “‘Fairytales’ is about womanhood and magic. We’re exploring music, femininity, freedom, acceptance and a strong desire to let go of daily pressure.”
