Poetic pop artist, songwriter, and producer Deza has released two new singles today, “Modelo” and “Bubbly and Blood”. The new songs are part of her most comprehensive project yet, City Sickness, which is made up of 12 songs and 6 music videos that tell the story of the balancing act of being an independent artist in your twenties.
“Modelo,” tells poignant story of the night she and her partner left a Los Angeles party with two more bottles of beer than they came in with. Detailing the dichotomy of the fakeness of some LA exchanges against the authenticity of her relationship, “Modelo” brings a refreshing new take on the sweetness of true affection. Deza’s dynamic, signature vocal production shines through every section of the song, weaving in and out of the lyrics that encapsulate the complexities of love. The music video follows her and Discoball Man, the representation of her partner, in a glittering streetlit dance. It’s the 4th music video of 6 that connect to create a short cinematic experience, further illuminating the storyline that is City Sickness.
Deza’s biweekly paired release strategy is an innovative take on single culture that is dominating the industry right now. Her self-aware lyricism, sparkling vocal production, and brilliant storytelling are clear signs of a pop artist paving her own lane – her unmistakable sonic thumbprint makes her a rare gem of authentic, genuine pop music.
