Music was always in her veins, through her relation to Ukrainian screenwriter, film producer, and director Alexander Dovzhenko.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Last year\u2019s breakout singles &#8216;Nothing Can Stop Us Now&#8217;, and &#8216;Animal&#8217;, cemented her place on the pop music map. Far from resting on her laurels, she smashed into 2019 with her &#8216;Delena&#8217; EP, which included the singles &#8216;Holy Ground&#8217; and &#8216;Perfectly Designed&#8217;. Each single has gone to be streamed more than a million times each, securing the raw songwriting talent a hungry audience for what\u2019s to come. The hard-working talent then dropped the emphatic follow-up singles \u2018I Am The Fire\u2019 and \u2018One Night\u2019 to triumphant support from Popjustice, Official Charts, Atwood Magazine and a number of key Spotify playlists. Now gearing up towards another EP nothing seems to be standing in the young artists way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Goth-Pop duo Shakespears Sister are returning to the stage this Autumn for perhaps one of them most unexpected reunions in pop history.
