LAMIA – Cobra (2025)
Emerging from the fertile fringes of London and Berlin’s underground electronic scenes, LAMIA’s latest single, ‘Cobra’, slithers into the spotlight with razor-sharp intent. The track is a visceral sonic experience, a venomous blend of deconstructed club, experimental electronic, and industrial textures that coils around the listener and doesn’t let go.
LAMIA, known for her unapologetically raw approach and rebellious spirit, presents ‘Cobra’ as a manifesto. “It’s punk without guitars”, she says, and she means it. Every beat, every eerie vocal layer, every bit of the snarling production is self-crafted – a true DIY expression of emotion-turned-weapon. The track lunges forward with a relentless, almost mechanical energy, but it’s the human edge – the bite in her voice and the satire in her lyrics – that makes it unforgettable.
At its core, ‘Cobra’ is both a rebellion and a commentary. LAMIA aims at the insidious societal pressure to conform, to be “enough”, and dismantles it with biting wit and industrial-strength beats. There’s a striking intelligence at play here, delivered through cleverly layered sound design and lyricism that walks a tightrope between critique and comedy. Her delivery is sharp, sardonic, and coolly detached, yet packed with fire – a quality that aligns her with the vanguard of alternative electronic artistry.
The track also serves as the lead single from her forthcoming self-produced album, slated for a 2025 release. If ‘Cobra’ is any indication, the album promises to be a genre-defying tour de force, blending alt-hip-hop, phonk, and cinematic ambience into something wholly her own. It’s not just music; it’s a mood, a world, a challenge to everything stagnant in contemporary sound.
Her reputation as a formidable live performer is well-earned. From the hallowed walls of Berghain to BBC Introducing Live Sessions, LAMIA commands spaces with a presence that’s magnetic, mysterious, and impossible to ignore. ‘Cobra’ is a statement from LAMIA. It snarls at expectation, mocks conformity, and carves out a space for misfits, rebels, and those who don’t quite fit the mould. With it, LAMIA proves herself not only as a producer and vocalist but as a visionary – a new kind of punk prophet. Get ready to follow the snake.
