Drawing us in with an intricate and psychedelic guitar soundscape with trippy percussion inflections, Arina Phoenix opens Daisies with the situational yet charming lyrics, “I bought some daisies in an old flower shop, some crazy yellow stars, you laugh at me, because I like them, but I like more, when you laugh…”
The production is sublime with dimensional bell sounds and cerebral nuances that add dimensionality to the piece. Arina’s vocal harmonies are ethereal and we love the overarching message of the song. In essence, Daisies is a liberation anthem that invites individuality free of judgement.
Arina shares conscious wisdom and invites us to laugh like babies and follow our dreams. This message feels zeitgeist and is delivered at a time when we, as a society, need it the most. It is clear that the artist is self-realized and understands her purpose.
We could imagine Daisies being featured in shows like My Life with the Walter Boys and Normal People, and films like Voicemails for Isabelle, and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. There is no doubt that fans of Robyn, Björk, Laura Mvula, and AURORA would also connect with what Arina Phoenix is creating.
Born near the Caspian Sea before graduating with distinction from the Moscow State Schnittke Institute of Music, Arina has composed for film and television across Europe, performed internationally, and is now embarking on a bold new chapter in Berlin as an independent artist and producer.
Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added Daisies to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we anticipate future releases from Arina Phoenix.
