Ukrainian-born Delena burst onto the alt-pop scene with her alternative-aesthetic music videos, racking up an impressive 5M streams to date. But it is with upcoming single ‘SOS’ that she really comes into her own, managing to tap into the common consciousness of the world right now.
“SOS” is a song based on my own life experience when I wanted to say ‘enough is enough’,” says Delena of the song, which takes the form of a powerful kiss-off anthem. “Sometimes, we all need an emergency button. I learned we shouldn’t take our true feelings for granted during moments when we feel vulnerable.”
With ‘SOS’, Delena taps into a common consciousness in an unsettled world - that of emergency. Using carefully chosen lexical choices, Delena has crafted the ultimate anthem for a world in a state of panic. ‘SOS’ is both the cry for help of a damsel in distress, and also the answering call. The song is characterised by relentless marching drums and a euphoric chorus which sees Delena come across as powerful and strong in her determination to speak her mind. Female empowerment has always been a consistent theme throughout her music, and ‘SOS’ is no exception. In admitting that help is needed, you can also save yourself.
“My hope is that I can release a strong energy with my music,” says Delena. “I want to prove to others that wherever you come from, you can succeed. There are no boundaries anymore in the world and right now we all need to dream of doing something extraordinary. I come from Ukraine, a country that has always suffered and struggled, yet is proud like me. I want to say, ‘Guys, it’s okay. You just have to have faith and reach out.’”
