Setting the tone with intricate and elegant acoustic guitar, fused with a cosmic, glitched rising synth, Divina Blackson opens Twisted Fantasy with intrigue and dimensionality.
Atmospheric and charismatic vocals deliver the introspective lyrics, “You and me, like a twisted kinda fantasy, it’s like you wanna get up in my brain, cos you’re stuck on my mind, got me pressing rewind…”, as Divina takes us on a journey filled with poetic nuance, connection and drama.
A glistening production detail appears along with an industrial bass-line, before the opus expands into a alternative meets dark pop hybrid energy. We love the choral harmonies which add energy to the emotive nature of the piece. The bridge is filled with luscious string riffs as Divina asserts her boundaries in the lyrics and sets her intention.
Speaking on the meaning of Twisted Fantasy, the emerging pop star from London confesses, “The song is about liberation, realising who you really are and not being ashamed of it. It’s about seeing your true reflection in someone else’s eyes and in letting go through love, you find yourself and the best moments.”
We love how the lyrics showcase Divina Blackson‘s emotions and willingness to take a hedonistic risk for a real connection. We appreciate the candour along with her vocal timbre and range.
Divina cites Tracy Chapman, Whitney Houston, Beyonce and Adele as some of her inspirations, although it is clear that she is creating a universe of her own!
