Synth and electronic rock artist C Z A R I N A releases an invigorating new single, In The Line Of Fire. The awe-inspiring artist blasts listeners into outer space in the heat of laser-beamed warfare within her new adrenaline-charged, Sci-Fi anime-inspired theatrical electronic rock opera. In The Line Of Fire is now available for streaming and download on digital platforms worldwide (click on the image).

Growing up completely immersed in Japanese Robotech and mecha animes, C Z A R I N A took the opportunity to manifest her mecha strike force dreams with her powerful vocals, catchy lyricism, and out of this world guitar hooks. She teamed up with Chris Keya to write and produce the explosive composition and create an innovative audio experience that culminates into a new class of artistry. In The Line Of Fire is an exhilaratingly unique song that builds from a synth-based rock beat into a full electronic entrancement. Writing and performing the cinematic script with her real-life husband DeadlyKawaii, C Z A R I N A wanted to create a new entertainment franchise. Keep an eye out for the CGI-animation of In The Line Of Fire from C Z A R I N A that tells the story of VRO 1221, Commander Hanzo, and the fate of the Delta Strike Force.

I already wrote about CZARINA last June, when she released her debut single Silence & Surrender. Now the talented synthwave rocker has released her highly anticipated LP Painted Holograms.

All songs on Painted Holograms were written, composed, produced, arranged and performed by CZARINA, except for Burn which was originally written and performed by The Cure for The Crow Motion Picture Soundtrack. Joe Peretore led the production and synth design for both mixes of Silence & Surrender and provided additional arrangements on tracks such as the cosmically dreamy Gravity and electrically-charged Parallel Lines.

Leaving her final touches on all tracks, CZARINA meticulously formulated a bundle of songs that illustrate exhilaration through the emotionally charged lyrics and guitar-led singles that tread the line of traditional rock and innovative new wave synth pop.

Drawing inspiration from 80s tech noir film composers such as Vangelis and Clint Mansell, CZARINA embraces electronic instruments and pushes creative boundaries. "I really think synths are shaping the future of music, creating new sounds and dynamics through technology," she says.

Painted Holograms tells a story of rebirth through songs that fuse sonic lead guitars with hypnotic vocals. Diving into her natural rockstar persona, the album features heavy synth adaptations and groovy guitar riffs.

Posting about Silence & Surrender, I wrote that the single "echoes of Eurythmics strongest moments, Lisa Dalbello's most accessible songs and cult band Device's luscious synth-wave rock." Well, I'm happy to report that we can find those similitaries in most of the song of this excellent full-length album. Add some The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, modern-day Muse and heavy doses of strong personality, and the recipe is ready.

Painted Holograms is available for download and streaming on digital music platforms worldwide so, what are you waiting for?

Dark synth-pop musician CZARINA (aka Vero Faye) has released her debut single, Silence & Surrender, from her forthcoming album, Painted Holograms.

Accompanied by atmospheric 80's style synth, CZARINA's smoky and powerful vocals spin a cinematic tale filled with seduction, melodrama and heroism that transports her audience into the middle of a John Carpenter film.
CZARINA wrote, composed, arranged and performed Silence & Surrender, and tapped producer Joe Peretore to lead the production, synth, and sound designs.

Silence & Surrender echoes of Eurythmics strongest moments, Lisa Dalbello's most accessible songs and cult band Device's luscious synth-wave rock.

On a curious note, before CZARINA, Vero Faye spent her time as the full time creative director and founder of the famed footwear and accessory brand, IVY KIRZHNER NEW YORK. With a design aesthetic true to her own notoriously unapologetic rock-and-roll persona, her footwear collection became a global success, with a long list of celebrity clientele including Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Kesha, Lily Collins, Cassie, Jamie Chung and Tori Kelly.
