It took a while to fully decode Дeva’s boundary-pushing artistry, while keeping an eye on the wider context around it. First of all, this is a successful international project, boasting live performances all around Europe and a large following on social media. Hailing from Budapest, the Hungarian songstress has gathered a series of well-deserved accolades, such as the Music Moves Europe Award and Best Female Singer by Radio Petőfi.
Known by day as Dorina Takács, Дeva has recently unveiled her latest offering, a stunning evocative single that provides the perfect entry point to the project’s eclectic, fragmented sonic universe. ‘11 (Két Szál)’ can be seen as the meeting of Hungarian folk-inspired polyphonic mantras with modern electronica, resulting in pieces that feel esoteric and highly unique, yet intense and dazzling, packed with modern flair and synthetic energy.
Дeva’s vocals are often drenched in spacious effects and long delays, layered into a thousand harmonies. The overall vibe is intensively hypnotising and cathartic. Overall, the Hungarian talent builds a fictional musical world that’s highly unusual, yet irresistible and addictive. What’s more, the single anticipates an upcoming album, expected in January 2025 via Move Gently Records.
