Italian electronic artist Beta Libre take a bold step in her latest single “Resurrection” — a haunting genre-blender that stands as the first single from her upcoming album due next fall. Co produced and mixed by Rick Landi and fully arranged by Beta Libre herself this track is anything but conservative. It cries for attention from the very first note and spreads dark, flickering energy and mangled sonic surfaces in the room.
Propelled by thumping Moog synthesizers, warped samples and hypnotic rhythms “Resurrection” unveils a daring combination of dark electronica, hip-hop and experimental rap. Moments that will ring familiar but fresh to the fans of artists such as Myss Keta, Peaches, or FKA twigs. None of the wild production is lost on the viewer either; the music is raw, layered, and purposefully jagged, its sense of lurking mystery, terrifying chaos, entirely controlled.
In its lyric sense, “Resurrection” is ritual and rebellion. Beta Libre turns the menstrual cycle into a sacred image – as a resonance to death, rebirth and divine endurance. Her piercing poetry takes blood from a sphere of taboo to one of transcendence reclaimes the body as an area of power and spirituality. It’s a mystic feminist anthem that brings new story in which female experience is central, holy, and revolutionary.
It is dark but ironic, sacred and irreverent, the song is on the border of confession and battle cry. Close at times, confrontational at others, it establishes strength that has a very personal quality but also a quality that is universally appealing.
This is no mere song – and musical spell, a declaration of sisterhood, endurance and natural bonding. With the release, Beta Libre leaves one thing clear: her forthcoming album will not merely be heard; it will be felt.
