Dive into the mysterious world of musician SEVDALIZA, her music contains breathy vocals contrasting with heavy baselines, creating a mood that screams temptation. Born in Iran and now based in the Netherlands, 27-year-old Sevdaliza has made quite a name of herself. Her music videos caught the attention of many international blogs and Complex nominated her video "Sirens of the Caspian" as one the most creative music videos of the summer, alongside artists such as Lana Del Rey and FKA Twigs. In 2015 she released her debut EP 'The Suspended Kid'.

Sevdaliza’s new single “Marilyn Monroe” moves like a marionette. Even with its fluidity, there’s something sad and distant about it. It is cold, empty, and gorgeous at the same time. It's one of her most moving songs yet.

“This song is part of a series that represent some kind of womanhood,” she explains. “Marilyn channels her fragility because it makes her powerful. A portrait in shimmering polyrhythms of a single tear floating down the cheek of a disappointed woman.”

She recently performed at the SXSW Festival in the US. Backstage she asked Miley Cyrus if she's got PayPal, after Cyrus said that she liked her pants and that she wanted to buy it from her.
