Two years after the release of her debut
album Lone Wolf, Brisbane-based
Deena returns with a new single ‘Cupid’.
Stepping away from her acoustic-folk
sound and with the help of a fullyfledged band behind her, Deena has
dived head first into a new musical
direction of indie blues-rock.Her sound
is bigger, grittier and darker than ever.
With her forthcoming sophomore
album Black Cat due for release early
2015, Deena has collaborated with
Yanto Browning (Art of Sleeping, Jac
Stone), Brendan O’Neill (Big Scary,
Saskwatch) and Graham Ritchie (Holy
Holy, Emma Louise), who have all
lent their unique talents to chisel a
darker tone without compromising
Deena’s dulcet voice – a voice that
transmits raw, intense emotion.
‘Cupid’ is the first single off Black Cat, in
which Deena sings about knowing full
well the danger of falling for a certain
person but giving in to temptation
anyway. Her voice beguiles listeners
into an almost lullaby until demanding
focus when the song breaks into a
wail of high notes and grungy guitar.
‘Cupid’ is a song with cheek and soul.
