This is no mean feat from the Ukrainian-born singer-songwriter, who is no stranger to hard work. Her latest track, \u2018SOS\u2019, sees her reap the benefits of her work, delivering the ultimate kiss-off song to add to her repertoire of dark, sophisticated alt-pop.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The musicality of \u2018SOS\u2019 itself means that it can easily hold its own amidst the greatest of break up songs. The lead-in to the chorus is characterised by a marching drum, signalling Delena\u2019s powerful intention and, when the chorus finally kicks in, it\u2019s with a killer bassline which sets the track off, ensuring that this is set to be a staple of the dancefloor this summer. The Daft Punk\/Nile Rodgers-esque bassline is relentless throughout the rest of the song, complementing the vocal melody perfectly to create the ultimate dance track with a strong urgent message.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With \u2018SOS\u2019, Delena taps into a common consciousness in an unsettled world &#8211; that of emergency. Using carefully chosen lexical choices, Delena has crafted the ultimate anthem for a world in a state of panic. \u2018SOS\u2019 is both the cry for help of a damsel in distress, and also the answering call. Full of raw female attitude, it\u2019s an unapologetic pop hit that\u2019s sure to resonate with audiences across the globe. It\u2019s a song of empowerment in which, by admitting that help is needed, you can also save yourself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Listen to \u2018SOS\u2019 below and add it to your quarantine playlist!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F782135821&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;visual=true&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;color=ff5500\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delena is fast making a name for herself as one of the UK\u2019s most exciting new names in pop, with her alternative aesthetic videos racking up an impressive 5M streams.
