Italian electronic artist Beta Libre cuts brand new ground with her newest single, “Resurrection”—a haunting, genre-bending piece that is the very first of forthcoming album to be released later this fall. Co-produced/mixed by Rick Landi, fully arranged by Beta Libre herself, this is anything but a usual track. It calls to attention at once, with dark flickering energy and warped sonic substrate filling the room.
Okay, let’s plunge now into the dark world of Resurrection, high-voltage, electronica of the wrong kind, hip-hop, and experimental rap. Those who are fans of Myss Keta, Peaches, or FKA twigs will recognise the recognisably new sound that repeats here. The production is rudimentary, graded and purposefully jagged in a mysterious and controlled chaos sense.
Lyrically Resurrection serves as ritual and rebellion, respectively. Beta Libre turns the menstruation cycle into a sacred sign (echoes death, rebirth, divine endurance). Her frightening poetry transforms blood into a taboo, transfiguring it into transcendence reclaiming the body as place of power and of spirituality. It’s a feminist hymn soaked in mysticism that provides a new story with the female experience at the center, holy, and revolutionary.
The song is quite dark but also ironic, sacred but not reverent, confession but also battle cry. It is both private and polemical; it speaks of strength which is very personal, yet universal.
“Resurrection” is not a song but rather a sonic incantation, a sisterhood manifesto and a call-to-action of resilience and primal-cy broad-band connection. What Beta Libre is clear with this release is that: Her next album will not only be heard but will also be felt.
