The first professional drummer from Montenegro, music author and performer Aleksandra Prelević Palladino, stage name Dolce Hera, announces the release of her new single "Star Kids" on June 19th at midnight on streaming platforms.
The single is accompanied by a video that will be available to the audience on the official Dolce Hera YouTube channel.
The audience is already used to continuous surprises, so this time they will have the opportunity to swim with her in the well-known musical waters of a harder sound, which, as Dolce Hera says, represents "a true drumming paradise" for her.
Her musical journey through genres now finds a stop called "Star Kids" and this single and video represent the embodiment of authorial freedom in musical creation as synonymous with play.
The music video is the product of collaboration with Montenegrin producer Rade Todorović, while she, for the third time, is directing a video for her own music.
The track is produced and co-authored by Marko Ćaćić and Todor Tadić from Knowhere2Run studio in Podgorica.
The video is an opportunity to experience her musical creativity in more depth.
Dolce Hera emphasizes that this project represents by far the most significant portal for entering her artistic world so far, because it is the closest to her in terms of genre and creativity, considering that, as she says, she particularly enjoyed the opportunity to focus on her instrument, the drums, but also the full strength and color of her voice that a rock vocal interpretation requires.
Although it can be defined in a broader sense as a genre, Dolce Hera believes that it is a very contemporary and authentic approach to that harder sound.
"An artist does not seek a song, but it happens to him. If it is created in this way, the music is primal. When this song was created, we felt its energy, which seemed to be greater than ourselves, as if it united the trinity of our creative beings and created something greater than us. It is an incredible feeling, I am sure that it will find its way to the hearts of the audience," says Dolce Hera.
As she points out, she is particularly pleased that the video managed to visually capture the energy that this song carries from the very beginning, while conceptually remaining true to her recognizable DH signature aesthetic.
This is Dolce Here's fifth single in the two years of her solo music career, where she recently caught the attention of Eurovision fans with her performance at the Montesong 2024 festival.
