‘Eau’ is an outstanding piece of synth pop that’s simplistic, hypnotizing, effeminate, and powerful. A product of a father-daughter duo whose musical chemistry is continuing to grow and strengthen as they carve out a sonic identity that takes shapes more and more with each new single.

French musical duo Dame Zina is based in Paris and is composed of Dame Zina, writing and singing, and her father, going by the name of Y, producing and composing. The duo is quite bold and their organic sound is a pure result of a chemistry between the two of them. A musicianship that extends beyond their familiar bond into that of 2 professional and passionate musicians. ‘Eau’, French for water, comes after their 3rd album Fairytales, and is a sprawling piece of synth-driven indie pop that continues to grow during its runtime of 6 and a half minutes. As a result of Dame Zina’s haunting, strong performance, and because of the arrangement that continues to solidify and take shape as the song unfolds. 

‘Eau’ is as immediate and as dramatic as French synth pop can be. With Zina’s cinematic vocal delivery and Y’s melancholic chord sequences and piercing synth arpeggios, ‘Eau’ is captivating -and with its in-your-face delivery and with Dame Zina’s favorite topics being freedom, feminism, and emotions, ‘Eau’ is a tasteful single that continues to cement Dame Zina’s reputation as a worthwhile musical duo who makes consistently memorable music.
