She is an artist who boldly explores life’s most complicated moments, which is why Dela Kay is so beloved by her fans. She can turn a deep, personal experience into a cinematic anthem, knowing that others out there will latch on and relate. Her latest singles like “Between the Lines” and “Guilty Conscience” have done just that, but they have also fed into Dela Kay’s continuous evolution as an alternative artist. She displays a darker sound on her new single, “Medicine.”
Inspired by artists like Bring Me The Horizon and Evanescence, “Medicine” taps into a haunting yet edgy sound for Dela Kay. The song was written alongside GRAMMY award-winning producer and songwriter Stefano Pigliapoco and finds Dela Kay taking on the role of the substance she so describes in the track. The song contains a heavy contrast between the verses and the choruses, as the verses contain a twinkly yet resonant sound and the choruses feature a harsher, more melodic style. All the while, Dela Kay sings, “I’m just your medicine / I get you high when you’re down.”
In the video below, the Nashville-based creative team of Working Holiday (The Band CAMINO, Medium Build) bring the song to life. Viewers can take in the dark and light duality of the song, as this is expressed through the shifting imagery throughout. Viewers will see angelic and gothic visuals, further immersing fans into a beautiful yet haunted world.
Dela Kay shares,
“It’s easy to confuse being someone’s comfort with being their cure. This song explores what happens when you lose yourself trying to be both.”
You can listen to “Medicine” on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.
