Steadily building her name at the forefront of Manchester’s music scene is 19-year-old DellaXOZ. Her third single in quick succession, ‘don’t do it!’ is the latest offering from her newly announced EP, ‘DELLAIRIUM’.
DellaXOZ first entered the consciousness of many with her debut EP, ‘THE DELLA VARIANT’ in 2022. This project was entirely self-produced on Garageband whilst Della was finishing her A-levels. A very impressive feat, this project was met with highly positive response. Since then, she has entered a studio to collaborate with producers, with these tracks being the culmination of that work.
‘don’t do it!’ arrives as part spoken-word, part anthemic affirmation. As described by Della, “This is a mixture of spoken word poem describing the difficulty of recovering from a heartbreak, but also an anthem chanting “DON’T DO IT” as a reminder to not relapse back into old habits and go back to a relationship that was emotionally harmful just out of familiarity”.
A powerful, and relatable sentiment, Clara Amfo recently said of Della that she has a knack for “documenting break-ups like a boss”. High praise indeed.
This track has the riffs and spirit of alternative Manchester, and the poignant lyricism of an artist with maturity beyond her years. DellaXOZ stands out as a musician with a clear sense of self, and a huge capacity to excel. Definitely one to be keeping an eye out for in 2024, as she unleashes her upcoming project.
