Following her ‘Invaluable Vol. 1’ EP this July, North London’s homegrown DIY icon Delilah Holliday releases ‘Invaluable Vol. 2’ and presents both EPs as one package. Musically the collection ranges from industrial club anthems and delirious beats to atmospherically produced moments of euphoria. Glitchy electronics blend with Delilah’s trademark art pop and crisp trip hop rhythms. Delilah’s authenticity is distinct in her delivery and lyrics, which continue to probe class and societal issues as she guides the listener through her realm of realisations. A key theme that follows from ‘Vol. 1’ is that of identity and roots. Growing up on Holloway Road and beginning her creative endeavours with family members continues this sense of community and groundedness. The ‘Invaluable’ mixtape exists in the space between fantasy and reality. It collects the two EPs’ worth of downtempo electronic art pop with added layers of trip-hop, and an intoxicating medley of heady synth, penetrated by dancefloor beats. It explores themes of growth, home and roots, as well as structural inequality and poverty. Above all, it’s about selfacceptance and self-love. Veering from industrial club anthems to atmospherically produced moments of euphoria, Delilah blends glitchy electronics with crisp rhythms, which were cowritten and co-produced with composer Raphael Ninot. Available to independent retailers on violet coloured vinyl.
