SONIALOXO = Dua Lipa x Lady Gaga
Belladonna, or as some call it, deadly nightshade, is a drug disguised in the shape of a delicious berry. It’s so potent that it can kill children. It’s toxic, and in Italy, women used it to enlarge their pupils and make them more beautiful. All this context is needed to understand SONIALOXO’s new single, “BELLADONNA,” a maddening, near-three-minute, electric-dipped pop song. Upon first listen, it seems the lyrics don’t make any sense, as if the narrator is changing perspectives from verse to verse.
