Detalji explores the worlds of comfort and escapism in her newest single “Keep Me Alive”

Detalji, the electronic music project of Helsinki-based artist Krista, recently released “Keep Me Alive”, which is a sneak peek of her upcoming debut album, set for release at the end of the week. Detalji’s album draws its inspiration from trance, early 90’s rave, and 80’s pop. It’s a simultaneously nostalgic yet forward-thinking love letter to club culture, joy, and queer love.

Detalji’s newest song “Keep Me Alive” merges indie pop with low-fi drum and bass. The song features soothing, peaceful instrumentals that create a distinctive-sounding piece of music that is difficult to place at a certain moment in time. The guitar, an instrument that Detalji picked up after years of neglect, adds a completely new dimension to the Detalji sound.

Detalji’s vocals are another standout element of the track, as they are subtle, yet powerful, and blend in perfectly with the overall aesthetic of the song. The atmosphere that “Keep Me Alive” creates is bittersweet.

“A friend said it could fit well on a Fleabag soundtrack because of its bittersweet atmosphere.” — Detalji

“Keep Me Alive” is a beautiful track that showcases Detalji’s unique blend of nostalgic dance and trance with a forward-thinking contemporary sound palette. It’s a timeless piece of music that is sure to resonate with fans of electronic music and beyond.

“Truly” as an album though was written during the lockdown years of 2020 and 2021. Detalji drew inspiration from the soundtracks of video games they were playing during that time, such as Crash Bandicoot, GTA Vice City, and GTA3. This inspiration led to a carefully woven world of comfort and escapism.
