Denver-born, LA-based artist Makena shares shimmering synth-pop offering “Delusional,” delivering a blend of quiet hope and self-aware honesty.
Written during a trip to Nashville with Kate Ryder and Anthony Rankin (ANTI) , the song which captures the heartbreak of mistaking potential for reality layers glossy melodies and the tenderness of hope for a dreamy and cinematic sonic experience. Wrapped in luscious instrumentals, the track is a relatable reflection of loving the idea of something more than what it actually is. Zooming in on the hope that things will fall into place if we hold on a little longer, the track is aching journey through emotions.
Offering a blend of honest lyricism and genre-bending pop sensibilities, Makena’s ability to turn her real-life experiences into emotionally charged yet biting alt-pop soundscapes sets her up as an unapologetic icon who transforms chaos into connection.
With this latest track giving us an alluring peek at bigger project The Valley, Makena continues to weave thoughtful and cathartic anthems exploring everything from self-doubt to ambition, framed by equal parts sadness and upliftment.
