Dame Zina, the daughter/father French duo, presents their latest single, โEau,โ released on January 19, 2024. Following their previous album about magic and feminism, โEauโ takes a thematic shift to connect the concept of coldness, as the title suggests in French, meaning โwater,โย to humanity.
The ethereal and delicate voice of the daughter immediately reminds you of Kate Bush as it captivates with oozing sensuality and softness while carrying an icy coolness reminiscent of Rita Mitsouko. Her vibrato can be felt through her high but tight vocal texture, this gives her humane and emotive tenderness more assertive control. Every bend in her note makes you want to close your eyes and feel.
Behind her vocals, the minimal electronic production draws influences from electro, artpop, synthpop, experimental, and industrial genres. The pulsing rhythms, glitzy textures, and glitchy elements create an atmospheric soundscape with dramatic lines that add intrigue to the emotional exploration in โEau.โ The song particularly dives in the sensibilities of the intricate tapestry of emotions.
As part of their more personal and intimate album, Dame Zina opens up about the secret garden inside all of us. They skillfully blend English and French lyrics and gets socially conscious about feminism, freedom, and emotions. Building on their musical journey that started with their debut album in 2020, the duo continued to make waves with pop, rock, and electronica singles and EPs.
Listen to the sensational masterpiece of Dame Zina that is โEauโ as it embodies the spirit of nature in the music.
