EVILLE and Mazare released their joint single ‘King For A Day‘ this past weekend, May 22, alongside its music video on Universal Music Italy. Based in Brighton, EVILLE has picked up momentum through plays on BBC Radio 1, Kerrang! and Radio X, festival sets at Reading and Leeds and 2000 Trees, and tours with WARGASM and Delilah Bon. Mazare, raised in Northeast Italy, first connected with electronic music after hearing David Guetta’s ‘When Love Takes Over’ in 2009, having already absorbed Pink Floyd, U2 and Genesis from his father’s collection. He now moves between metal-electronic hybrids and pop-rock textures and has released music on Monstercat and Insomniac Records that have surpassed 35 million Spotify streams.
Production begins with punchy Jersey club kick drums that build and then hit a layered drop of distorted guitars, aggressive breakbeat drums and weighty Reese basses. Eva Sheldrake fronts EVILLE with commanding vocals while Mazare adds his rap verse in the second half for extra bite. The video arrives in grungy VHS form, mixing performance shots of Mazare and EVILLE with cuts to an ominous figure draped in red and Mazare playing chess with himself to ultimately win a kiss with the figure in red.

Mazare had this to say: “‘King For A Day‘ was born from the discomfort caused by the current geopolitical situation and the impact it’s having on everyone’s lives. I felt the need to speak up about it, and that’s why this time I challenged myself with writing and performing the small rap section in the second verse. I wanted the song to be as direct and unaltered as possible. And I need to shout out EVILLE for being very respectful of the vision for this one. They took the song, made it their own, and delivered an incredible performance that perfectly captured the feeling I was going for.”
