The stars aligned
Running side by side
With all the things that roam the earth
The sun is high
It’s time to rise
From all the ashes that once burned
Ey Ah Eh
Ey Ah Eh
The tide is high
The tempest, I
I was forged in the fire
My flesh won’t burn
With all my might
I’ve reached so high
I’m the storm and scepter
Sacred wonder

Sacred Wonderland
Ey Ah Eh
These cosmic times
Come to summon us
From all the ashes we emerge
We’ve come to rise
To fight side by side
Amongst the chosen to free the earth
Ey Ah Eh
Ey Ah Eh
The tide is high
The tempest, I
Sipping from the chalice
Rage and thunder
With all my might
I’ve touched the sky
I’m the storm and scepter

about
Galicia, Spain-based American synth and electronic artist CZARINA (styled as C Z A R I N A on all platforms) unveils her latest Pagan-themed Baroque Pop and Electronic Rock Single, Wonderland. A track she proudly dedicates to her new home in Galicia, which she refers to as her “Sacred Wonder,” Wonderland celebrates the magic and cosmic mysteries of the Spanish Kingdom’s Druid and Pagan history. Produced in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic, Wonderland is a song about rebirth and realigning one’s spirit with the wonders of nature and the cosmos as the world rises once again from “the ashes that once burned.” The anthemic track summons human and otherworldly spirits to welcome the dawn of a new age, celebrating life, strength, survival, and dauntless, unwavering faith. Written, arranged, performed, produced and recorded by CZARINA, Wonderland is an eclectic and powerful amalgam of electronic and organic sounds. The song starts with a huge undercurrent of large bass arpeggios and CZARINA’s hallmark topline piano riff that carry on throughout the song, followed by a simulated chamber orchestra consisting of strings, brass horns, wind pipes, taiko and timpanis with the traditional rock drum kit. It features a post-punk and darkwave vocal performance along with a full Gothic choir chants all performed by the artist. Co-producer, mixing and mastering engineer, Von Hertzog of The Social Club (Reading, PA), provided additional atmospheric sound designs and additional percussion (congas and syncopated hardwares) to enhance the track’s uptempo rhythm. The dynamic arrangements all lead into one giant final crescendo that would leave one breathless, spirited and hopeful. Wonderland and its accompanying music film will be available across all platforms on August 6th, 2021. It is the second single from CZARINA’s highly-anticipated sophomore full-length record, ARCANA, due Fall 2021.
CZARINA is Vero Faye Kitsuné, an award-winning electronic musician, producer, songwriter, filmmaker, creative director, designer and visual and performance artist. She is known for her multi-disciplinary approach that combines trans-humanism and post-human aesthetic with new age mysticism, informed by her love for futurist culture, cybernetics, biomechanics and the discipline that comes with her Budo martial arts training.
CZARINA’s unique soundscape seamlessly melds electronic with organic sounds, transcending a vast spectrum of genres including progressive synths, art rock, Baroque pop, cyberpunk, industrial, trip hop, post-punk and darkwave. 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, Led Zeppelin, QUEEN, Blondie, Kate Bush, Siouxie Sioux, Tori Amos, and visual masters and storytellers Masamune Shirow, Yoshitaka Amano, HR Giger, Hayao Miyazaki, Katsuhiro Otomo and Hajime Sorayama. CZARINA takes her audience into a smoky, neon-lit dimension, filled with atmospheric and cinematic synths, shimmering arpeggios, sonic guitar riffs, catchy melodies, powerful vocal hooks, and poignant, thoughtful lyricism that compels one to look inward, around and beyond the material world.

What can I say?! 'Perfect Paradise' is one of my favourite songs from this year. I'm a huge fan of 80's pop (Madonna etc) so this album is right up my street. Stop sleeping on Bunny X and buy this album right now! <3 Adam Clarke

Just keeps building and building then sends you down the rabbit hole wondering what's next!!
This artist is definitely progressing in its genre and honing into its own style of synthwave!
And it sounds, Raw AF!! Scott
