EMPIRE

THE NEW ALBUM

- OUT NOW -

“The album’s technical brilliance is matched by its emotional depth… With “Empire”, CZARINA doesn’t just make music; she builds immersive sound worlds that are as emotionally profound as they are complex.”

- Alternation Magazine

“CZARINA’s music is equal parts ethereal, expansive, and transportive—an immersive journey to realms of wonder and introspection…. ‘Empire’ expands upon the cinematic, otherworldly soundscape she created with ‘Arcana’”

- Synthpop Fanatic -

“Empire surges with a fierce blend… Imagine Florence and the Machine, Annie Lennox, Enya, Grace Slick, and Loreena McKennitt crossed with the surreal intensity of a Philip K. Dick tale - C Z A R I N A’s vocal resonate like a call to the cosmos, charged and cinematic, woven with the divine feminine.”

- Post-Punk.com

“From the transhumanist-themed drama of ‘Rebirth’, the timpani-laden intensity of ‘Dark Star’ and the frenzied darkness of ‘Ghost Machine’ to the Sci-Fi futurepop of ‘Exoskeleto’ and the title track’s epic orchestrated pop… this third CZARINA long player is not lacking in spirit, adventure or imagination.”

ABOUT

CZARINA ® (styled as C Z A R I N A) is Vero Faye Kitsuné, an American award-winning electronic rock musician, producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, filmmaker, visual artist, and a long-time veteran creative director and designer in the fashion industry. A New Yorker now based in Galicia, Spain, CZARINA is a multi-disciplinary artist that combines transcendental themes with her love for futurist culture, biomechanics, art and ancient history, mythology, folklore, animist mysticism, Japanese Animes, and budo martial arts.

CZARINA’s ethereal yet heavy-hitting cerebral soundscape seamlessly melds electronic with organic sounds, transcending a vast spectrum of genres including darkwave, dark ethereal, synthpop, progressive gothic rock, industrial and future pop, and post-metal. She takes her audience into expansive dimensions, filled with vast dynamics consisting of atmospheric and cinematic synths, grand orchestral arrangements, thunderous percussions, polyrhythms, sonic guitar riffs, heraldic choral harmonies, powerful and epic vocals, striking visuals, and poignant, thoughtful lyricism that compels one to look inward, around and beyond the material world. Her eclectic list of musical and visionary influences include Nine Inch Nails, TOOL, Massive Attack, Bjork, The Knife, Fever Ray, Puscifer, Vangelis, A Perfect Circle, The Cranberries, Enya, David Bowie, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, QUEEN, Blondie, Kate Bush, Siouxsie Sioux, Tori Amos, Joe Hisashi, Nobuo Uematsu; and visual masters and storytellers Hayao Miyazaki, Guillermo Del Toro, Katsuhiro Otomo, Masamune Shirow, Yoshitaka Amano, HR Giger, and Hajime Sorayama.

A storyteller and visual maestro, her much-beloved music videos received numerous prestigious international film fest awards, including Music Video of the Year (2021) at New York Film Awards for “Wonderland.” Her critically-acclaimed sophomore record “Arcana” was released on February 22, 2022 and was named Album of the Year by esteemed synthpop authority Synthpop Fanatic.
