Hip-Hop, Pop | Estonian Up-And-Comer SVNDRA Drops Infectious New Single “Rocketship”
Posted by VMan on August 15, 2021
Growing up in the beautiful forests of Estonia, rising talent SVNDRA has always dreamt of a career as a singer in LA. She made her first steps in the US back when she was 17, recording her earliest demos in a basement in Queens, and later moved to LA for 6 months. As a classically trained dancer and highly motivated artist, SVNDRA’s talents quickly became noticed in the hip hop and dance communities, and led to her starting to professionally co-write songs with artists in 2015, and launching her solo career in 2019.
SVNDRA has worked alongside massively acclaimed acts such as Teyana Taylor, Chris Brown and Ester Dean, and has performed at Machine Gun Kelly’s festival, the “EST FEST ” with Interscope artist Phem. Her original music takes influences from hip-hop, pop and R&B, while her live performances are widely known for their immense level of production and energy with distinct choreography, supporting dancers and singers, and masterfully curated concepts.
Marking her third release this year, SVNDRA has returned with uplifting gem “Rocketship,” an infectious single that might be one of her best releases yet. The song, which will be premiered live at the Tallinn Music Week in Europe in September, follows a catchy structure centered around smooth synth chords, rattling hi-hats and hard-hitting 808s, perfectly juxtaposing the singer’s infectious vocal performance, that emits undeniably good vibes.
“‘Rocketship’ is a song about getting on board with your life and your dreams. Who are you to deny yourself from living the best life you can,” explains the artist, who apparently prefers to “treat music like a puzzle”. Throughout her process, she starts off with one element and takes a playful and loose creative approach, allowing her songs to form naturally. This translates in the listening experience as genuine passion and free-flowing originality, something truly unique within today’s musical landscape.
