PREMIERE: Dé Saint returns with new single 'Zephyr': "Don't label me because I'm not an artist who is set in one particular genre"
Australian electro artist Dé Saint returns with her second single ‘Zephyr’ on Friday 28th January, but today you can listen to the song right here as it premieres exclusively on Women In Pop.
The track is a glorious, powerful electronica track which is overflowing with delicious melodies, hooks coming at you from every angle and a wonderfully distorted vocal. It it the type of song that make you feel utterly free and if ‘Zephyr’ doesn’t make you yearn for a return to a packed dancefloor at 3am, nothing will.
“‘Zephyr’ calls for our independence by breaking down the walls that confine us as we stand as a collective to the bullies that strive to control our everyday way of life.'“ Dé Saint says. ‘“Zephyr’ is a gentle breeze that floats over our cities which becomes a forceful wind of liberty. Born in Berlin just prior to covid smashing the globe it's quite strange that lyrically it reflects what we are continuously experiencing for the past 2 years”.
Also out tomorrow is the music video for ‘Zephyr’, directed by Alex Van Kampen and features footage of Dé Saint’s friends from around the world. “Seeing your life in a day, what did that look like before the walls came up?,” Dé Saint says of the video. “When we were free to travel, visit our families, discover new places & meet new faces. Alex has visually captured the true essence of ‘Zephyr’ with footage we have taken from around the globe”
Dé Saint is one of Australia’s most successful and in demand DJs who has garnered an international fanbase. Working as a singer-songwriter in France and Germany since 2013, in 2015 she made the switch to being an independent DJ and vocalist. Since returning to Australia, she has become the go-to DJ for major brands and music festivals such as Chanel, Aperol Spritz, YouTube Music Festival, Louis Vuitton, Google, Vogue, Rolex, Maserati and Moet to mention just a few. She also creates soundscapes for Fashion Week in Sydney, Paris and Berlin and her debut single ‘Fever’ was released last year.
"Working as a DJ, it’s given me the freedom to be flexible with my repertoire,” she says. “I really love diversity and I’m always aiming to create a mood. This has spilled over to my writing. Don't label me because I'm not an artist who is set in one particular genre, I like to mix it up as you will hear in my up and coming releases but the one common thread that ties my music together is, you will always want to dance.”
