Dame Zina is a French father-daughter duo that brings a delightful sound of synths and high, angelic vocals into a sound that one can characterise as retro, dreamy pop. On their latest single, “Eau”, they take this sound forward and end up coming up with something quite special– keep reading for my thoughts!
The song, right from the start, is laden with warm, groovy synths that immediately create a pacey, grooving atmosphere; the work on the sound design stands out here very well, as every sound does its part to add and complement the sound rather excellently. Everything from the low-end to the very high sparkle, there’s a synth filling up the space beautifully.

The vocals are the other standout on “Eau”, quite easily; the high registers, the excellent control in the harder sections of the song, as well as the spoken sections that find themselves distributed through the song, all come together quite excellently. The vocal harmonies are also done really nicely, creating a very cohesive, powerful sound that does not take long to make itself at home in your head. Bravo!
The production and sound design on “Eau”, as I alluded to earlier, are par excellence; bringing just the tangy zest of their unique sound into a well-loved genre, they manage to elevate the level of track through the finesse of their execution; and not just that, the track is mixed with clarity, allowing every element to stand out naturally and prominently. There is excellent imaging and placement of sound, and every decision here contributes to driving the warm, synth-laden sound that Dame Zina execute so beautifully on this song.
Overall, “Eau”, by Dame Zina: a pleasure to listen to, not just for those of the synth persuasion, but also in general; and it’s executed rather beautifully. Check out the track here!
