Lelia

London emerging artist, Lelia shares new video for the track ‘DISCOBALL’ taken from her debut album DARK DISCO out now on Peace Dragon Records.

Hailed as one of London’s most exciting emerging voices, Lelia is a 23-year-old British artist with Latin American and Italian roots. She makes erotic and darkly playful earworms that move between desire and destruction, fusing electroclash’s edge, a post-disco sensuality and Riot Grrrl’s nihilism built on thick synth bass, jagged percussion and bold confrontational lyrics. Touchstones include Lady Gaga, LCD Soundsystem, PJ Harvey and Peaches.

The new music video for ‘Discoball’ is an ode to the late and great David Lynch and his beautiful, strange world and stars Lelia styled in avant-garde fashion designer Tuuli Turunens’ latest collection.

Lelia says of the ‘Discoball’ video:

“We have me parading around the streets of London again, holding this discoball almost as a pledge to lightness and optimism, and an attempt to make a positive impression of anyone who saw. We used an older man in the video, a theme across others, and wanted to show hope and dance as a tool of empowerment for all”.

Lelia says of ‘Discoball’ single:

“I was walking down a beach in Spain for hours and my face was blinded by the sun. I kept thinking that it was like a disco ball in the way as it’s the centre of all the movement of the world. I wanted to write a song in honour of hope; with empowerment and reclamation there must be hope.

I find the world at times to be an incredibly cynical and ironic place, and the art I connect with the most I find usually has sincerity at the heart of it.

I also think something radical about sincerity in a world where post modernity and the digital world as a reductive expression of the self are so culturally conscious. 

The song is also a love letter to music and my own relationship and complexities with it. It's about letting go, catharsis and destiny”.

Dark Disco is an album that rallies Lelia’s Generation Z to embrace hedonism and their sexuality as past generations did in their youth. On ‘Discoball’ the drive to embrace life is portrayed through a more sentimental lens.

Dark Disco’s singles ‘Satisfy Me’, ‘Hair’, ‘Sunglasses’ and ‘Smash Hit’ collectively amassed over 80k streams across digital streaming platforms and social media as well as International media outlets. Each accompanied by a glamorously kitsch and high fashion music video directed by upcoming filmmaker Imi Laurence and peppered with feminist and pop cultural references.

Lelia has performed extensively across London for JOY Concerts and Club. The. Mammoth and plays her London Album Launch gig at The Blue Basement on Friday, December 4, 2026.
