Slovenlie’s Strikingly Unconventional Pop Continues With New Single ‘Celerity’

Since releasing her debut single, Disaster, last year to support from Noisey, the 405 and Clash, London songstress Slovenlie has been turning heads with her densely woven electronic pop. https://soundcloud.com/slovenlie/celerity Now returning with Celerity, her first single of 2017, the UK artist and producer ups the ante with high-energy production, emotive songwriting, and moody soundscapes.…

British singer/producer Slovenlie confronts a lifelong battle with mental illness on her electric new single ‘Ritual.’

Her vocals haunt across a shuddering static, feeding into the song’s anxiety before the chorus explodes into all-consuming waves of sharp industrial synths and rumbling bass. And yet, Slovenlie remains beautifully subdued even as she expresses her darkest fears.

The song itself was inspired by Slovenlie’s battles with OCD and how certain rituals in her own life as a result have taken hold, as she explains via Fame Magazine:

‘My very first OCD ritual took place in bed every night, as a child. It was very simple; I repeated the chant ‘my family will get murdered tonight’ 3 times [...] You must understand, this isn’t as psychotic as it sounds. I have always had the belief that the opposite happens of whatever I wish for, so this for me was a way of protecting my family. Since then I have had infinite variations of patterns and chants and bizarre behaviors that have revolved around patterns of numbers.’
