Immersed within Sona, a space dedicated to those who love to inhabit music, we listened to “LUCID DREAMS,” the new EP by Danna. With Elizaveta Porodina’s lens acting as a visual guide, we delve into a liquid concept—a metamorphosis where image and sound design refuse to remain static. They play and fuse in unexpected moments, converging into five tracks that serve as the threshold to her most ambitious project yet.

With influences ranging from the aesthetic avant-garde of David Bowie to the pop audacity of Madonna, the EP feels profoundly intimate. It is the hypnagogic state: that instant before falling into deep sleep where the mind wanders between synthesizers and random experiences. Listening to every second is an exercise in surrender; you ride the sound without trying to master it, accepting it as an extension of your own identity.

“LUCID DREAMS” is an indivisible work, designed for linear listening. The journey begins with “LUCID,” an atmospheric intro that illustrates the fine line between the conscious and the unconscious. Here, the boundaries of reality blur: memories of the day and anxieties of tomorrow transform into textures that travel through every inch of the space.

“AGAIN” and “YOU COULD BE THAT BOY” take us to the more physical stages of sleep. Through electronic beats that invite movement, we navigate the sweat and density of nightmares. It is the energy released during sleep, captured in a sonic materialization that oscillates between the club scene and surrealism.

“In ‘OUT OF MY BODY,’ the audio transforms into a piece of astral art.”

The "soul" detaches from the body, allowing Danna’s vocal talent to unfold in its fullest expression. Her voice navigates over layers of sophisticated production without falling into pretension; it is a demonstration of technique and feeling that breaks away from any previous labels.

Every vocalization in “MOVIE STAR” is a sensory delight that culminates this first installment, functioning as the promise of a second EP: one that is more intense, carnal, and tangible. The album is surprising and experimental, succeeding in conveying a dreamlike narrative with a cinematic quality.

Danna finally abandons the expectations of others to fulfill her own desires. She does so with a meticulous sonic identity that doesn't seek to fit into genres, but rather to create a movement of its own. More than an explosion in the industry, it is the consolidation of an artist who has finally decided to inhabit her own universe.
