Released 22nd March via BANSHIES
Paris based dark pop duo DALHIA are poised to announce a brand new release with the arrival of ‘VIVA 4 EVER’, released 22nd March through cult French label BANSHIES.
Lifted from the forthcoming EP due later this year, ‘VIVA 4 EVER’, retains dark pop sensibilities through treasured songwriting. DALHIA deal in themes of disenchantment, sexuality, relationships and hope, carved out in their own bittersweet, inimitable style.
They say: “Viva 4 Ever evokes disillusionment in the friendly family and romantic relationship. Love is a fragile energy that can untie at any moment. The song invites us to grasp the complexity of the combined feelings that crumble during the betrayal of a loved one. Hate and love are always in fusion and produce in us an eternal conflict. This state of disorder coexists with hope: ‘Viva 4 Ever’ literally means ‘To live forever’; that is to say to live despite the overwhelming disappointments. This title is also a tribute to a well-known Spice Girls song: ‘Viva Forever’, which speaks of deep freedom. Thus this song is tinged with childhood memories but also hope.”
DALHIA is a project initiated in 2019 by singer and composer Rachel Geffroy and Simon Vouland drummer, machinist within the project explore the dark and cavernous nuances of electronic and psychedelic music. The influences are varied, from Post-Punk to Hip-Hop. The songs are macabre dances where tortured pop and hypnotic rhythms mix. DALHIA founds a melancholic, singular and mystical universe.
