DENA is getting ready to release her newest single “Thin Rope” through UK label POP unLTD, and it is an unbridled and enthusiastic take on hip-hop, pop and R&B. Her Balkan roots (she is originally from Bulgaria, now residing in Berlin) are apparent in the beats and rhythms of the track - which she crafts herself by the way. The comparisons to M.I.A. are probably inevitable (which is super lame – why are female rappers always compared to each other?), but DENA is definitely a talent all her own. In a perfect world we would hear this tune bumping all summer long. Stream it below and then check out the video for the song here.
