It is always exciting to observe artists grow and evolve, exploring new sonic directions while expanding their creative horizons. For HENKA, this new beginning started last year in September, with the release of her debut effort ‘Pedestal’. Active in the past under a different moniker, the London-based talent took a step back to work on dark, heart-shaking electro-pop material, channelling both the mainstream and the alternative into an alluring and innovative musical package. Boasting a certain EDM flair – especially in the pompous and anthemic productions – HENKA is truly developing a highly personal style, a feature that we are confident will go a long way in earning her a larger audience.
Now, the proficient songstress returns with the latest chapter in HENKA’s journey. ‘Fading out’ is a worthy follow-up: settling on a punchier and slightly industrial tone, the track turns up the heat and the luscious charge, providing the perfect background for the singer’s powerful and evocative vocals, capable of going from haunting, alternative melodies to glorious and memorable pop choruses.
Lyrically, ‘Fading Out’ explores the challenges, grief and pain a heartbreak can cause to a human being. Although dark times can make us feel like there’s no tomorrow, HENKA seeks resolution and resilience, empowering the listeners in persisting and then flourish.
