Iona Zajac releases striking new single ‘Dilute’ ahead of debut album Bang
Glasgow-born artist Iona Zajac has shared her latest single ‘Dilute,’ a powerful preview of her upcoming debut album Bang, set for release on November 21.
‘Dilute’ channels fury and empowerment, transforming anger into liberation. Following the singles ‘Summer,’ ‘Bang,’ and ‘Anton,’ this latest release showcases the breadth of Zajac’s songwriting — from haunting vulnerability to explosive strength.
Zajac explains:
“‘Dilute’ is the anchor of my first album, Bang. I sort of see the song as one of my weird dreams that I’m forcing into reality. Why can’t we run around with red faces, screaming at men who’ve wronged us? I see no issue. I see myself as a feral, strong woman in this song, and I want it to be one for women to find their anger and turn it into power and then one day maybe we can all meet up in a forest painted red and run through it holding hands screaming. Rise together from the warm black oil we’ve been dunked in! After I wrote the song my mum went to an exhibition and found Judy Chicago ‘Woman and Red Flares.’ I think she nailed it.”
Dilute’ is out now.
