Hot off the heels of their third album ‘Fairytales’, the father/daughter duo of Dame Zina has returned with a dreamy, eclectic, and synth-filled epic titled ‘Eau’. Based in Paris, the pair’s work has been likened to a mixture of Portishead, Björk, Les Rita Mitsouko, and Kate Bush. Make of that what you will. All I know is that I’ve been left completely mesmerized by their latest release.
Sung in French, I have been reliably informed that the tune lyrically explores emotions and the depths of human sensibility. ‘Eau’, meaning water in English, was specifically unleashed in the winter, and once you’ve heard the track alongside its music video, you’ll begin to understand just why.
Fellow writer Gabriel labelled Dame Zina’s ‘Fairytales’ as “Elegance and eclecticism – a stunning, balanced and highly evocative record”. On first listen, I can’t disagree with him in any meaningful way. It’s pure musical genius.
It’s rare to fall for a song so quickly when you don’t understand the words. At least, I find it to be. ‘Eau’ has been the complete opposite though. From the first moment I heard it, I just knew that it was a piece of music that would stay with me for a long time.
