ŽIVA's latest cut Bad Blood is a compelling recording about the battle with internal demons. Above the precise beats and bubbling electronica, Lucija delivers an emotionally charged vocal, which is both intense and hypnotic. Something worthy of repeat plays.
Originally from Croatia, but now based in Melbourne (Australia), ŽIVA [ʒîʋa/zheva], is Lucija Ivšić’s new solo music project. Building upon her Slavonian heritage, Lucija aims to blend together modern elements with sounds reflecting her hometown Vinkovci and the culture she grew up with. Bad Blood is her first entirely self-produced release and she found it a challenging and rewarding experience. It is an excellent debut for the project and is well worth exploring.
