PRESS + AWARDS
“The specific kind of regal, classic darkwave of the project is shot through with some millennial club sounds and puts us in mind of classic acts like Diva Destruction and Battery as well as modern purveyors like Ghost Twin”
I DIE : YOU DIE - April 2024
“‘Exoskeleto’ gives us everything we want from CZARINA: mythology, massive beats, the otherworldly chants that have become one of her unique trademarks. As always, she conjures power.”
SYNTHPOP FANATIC - The Best 10 Synthpop Songs of March 2024
‘“CZARINA enters a new era with ‘Exoskeleto'“
SYNTHPOP FANATIC - Editorial Feature, March 2024
“Classical, modern, energetic, and dramatic, both sublime and catchy. However, not everyone can master such a blend—Czarina firmly grasps the reins and never relinquishes control...The emotional depth of these songs is remarkable, and the musical composition is equally spectacular.”
ALTERNATION MAGAZINE - Editorial Feature on “Exoskeleto”
“Ethereal yet commanding sounds that resonate with global audiences”
REFLECTIONS OF DARKNESS - In-Depth Interview, March 2024

PRESS REVIEWS
“A former footwear designer finds her deep roots in magic, mystery, and music… This guidance is evident in her latest album which she released last year titled Arcana, Latin for “mysteries.” The premise of the album is about confronting the mysteries of life, connecting to the cosmos, going through all of life’s mazes, and eventually finding home.”
- VOGUE PHILIPPINES
“Arcana is a complete experience from beginning to end and the best album of the year (2022).”
- SYNTHPOP FANATIC
THE BEST 25 SYNTHPOP ALBUMS OF 2022
“The songs (in Arcana) are dreamy but also powerful, melodic and still into a kind of Dark-Rock style… CZARINA took me by surprise for its originality.”
- SIDE-LINE MAGAZINE
“An adrenaline bomb of 10 songs, the essence of ecstasy and catharsis in its purest form. Fantasy and mysticism, the echoes of an ancient and wild world, wrapped in an ultra-modern and perfectly tuned electronic production!”
- KOLLEKTIVA
“An eclectic mix of synthpop, orchestral baroque pop, gothic new age and prog rock… Latin for “mysteries” or “secrets”, ‘Arcana’ celebrates life, love and the laws of the universe.”
