Athens, Greece born, NYC-based artist Vasilikí has shared her new single and video ‘HarleyQueen’.
‘HarleyQueen’ talks about a girl with big dreams and alluring confidence. Just like Harley Quinn – she meets someone who’s inner world fascinates her so much that she opens up like never before and it leaves her heartbroken.
“I wrote ‘Harley Queen’ early 2021 in New York,” Vasilikí says. “I was sitting in my bedroom in Washington Heights and I started playing around with some melodies. All of a sudden I had written half of the song without even realizing it. I felt like there were many unexpressed emotions that found their way on a piece of paper that night. I then passed on my ideas to my favorite human and producer, Stavros. We kept working on it for a long time, but it wasn’t until I recorded the operatic harmonies that it felt like the song made sense. It was like it started living in a world of its own and that is what I was aiming for.”
Regarding the video, she continues: “I put on my rollerblades and my five dollar gown and the two of us went to a few different locations in New York and shot the whole thing in one day. I had most of the ideas planned in my head beforehand but it was interesting that all the shots in the alleyway happened by accident.”
