SIERRA, the Parisian electronic producer who masterfully blends EBM and Darkwave, returns with "My Poison", a track that feels like a venomous elixir dripping into the listener’s bloodstream. Dark, hypnotic, and inescapable, her work is the sonic embodiment of a femme fatale—deadly and intoxicating in equal measure. Her voice, sweet as poisoned honey, weaves seamlessly into pounding synths and relentless beats, creating a soundscape that is both alluring and unyielding.
The track opens with a sparse, ominous atmosphere, where SIERRA’s vocals glide like a whispered warning. Her repeated refrain, "I don’t forget who I wanna be," becomes a mantra—a declaration of identity that teeters between resolve and despair. As the beat begins its steady ascent, it tightens its grip on the listener, pulling them deeper into her world of shadows and sharp edges.
Musically, "My Poison" is a meticulous construction, where every layer serves to heighten the tension. The synths creep like tendrils into your psyche, while the escalating tempo drives an irresistible rhythm that makes it impossible to stay still. The track’s structure mirrors its lyrical content: it infects, spreads, and consumes. The hypnotic repetition of "All of my hate / All of my rage / All of my fears are my affliction" becomes an incantation, turning personal torment into universal catharsis.
SIERRA excels at fusing violence with sonic precision. The aggression in her lyrics—"All of my hate / All of my rage / Are my poison"—is tempered by the razor-sharp production. There’s a duality in her sound: a primal rawness colliding with an almost surgical control. This interplay gives the track its unique power, where chaos is harnessed and transformed into something devastatingly beautiful.
The production builds relentlessly, each element intensifying until the music feels like it’s teetering on the edge of an explosion. The bassline throbs with an almost predatory intent, while the synths slice through the darkness with an eerie clarity. By the time the track reaches its climax, it’s impossible not to feel swept up in its storm. SIERRA doesn’t just invite you to listen—she demands that you surrender.
Lyrically, the piece captures the dual nature of inner conflict: the raw emotions that threaten to overwhelm, and the fierce determination to endure. "I feel infected / Am I infected?" is a haunting question, blurring the line between external and internal battles. Is the poison self-inflicted, or is it a reflection of the world’s relentless pressure? This ambiguity makes the track all the more compelling, as SIERRA transforms her personal afflictions into a shared experience that resonates deeply.
"My Poison" is not just a song—it’s a visceral experience, a dark anthem for those navigating their own storms. SIERRA continues to assert herself as a master of electronic alchemy, where every note, every beat, and every word feels purposeful and powerful. In her hands, music becomes both weapon and refuge, a space where destruction and creation coexist. With "Poison", SIERRA solidifies her place as one of the most compelling voices in modern electronic music. Her ability to merge dark, hypnotic atmospheres with unrelenting beats is unparalleled, and this track is a living breathing proof to her unbeatable craft.
