Praise for ZHEANI

“Good music” – Grimes

“It is searing music that is affected and definitely affects you, it always makes an impact when you listen to Zheani” – Declan Byrne, triple j

“Existing somewhere amid the fluid, genre-smashing netherworlds of emo rap and trap metal, Australian artist ZHEANI is fearlessly pushing buttons and being her own goddamn self” – REVOLVER MAGAZINE

“experimenting with cold-blooded pop” “coasts on blunt-force electronics” “ZHEANI stands her ground and speaks her truth” – THE FADER

“an industrial banger” “Really dark vibes” “New, fresh, cutting edge electronics” – Anthony Fantano, The Needle Drop

“She oscillates between an autotuned benevolent nymph with zen-yet-drippy beats, and a tortured soul screaming over trap metal. While grappling with very real trauma and remaining raw and unfiltered, Zheani also conveys a distinct optimism as part of her message.” – Office Mag

“There are artists that talk. Actually, there’s a lot of them. Then there are the artists who move in silence; meticulously plotting their next move, scheming in the wings in no rush to show their hand. There are considerably fewer of these artists, ones like Zheani, whose moves are so deliberate, so calculated and genius that there’s every chance we won’t notice anything is happening until it’s already upon us.” – BLUNT MAGAZINE

“Here’s a few reasons you need to pay attention to Zheani. For one, few rappers can rival her work ethic. The multidisciplinary artist is perpetually creating — she delivered three EPs over the past two years and in 2021 has already dabbled in the world of NFTs, dropped a new mixtape and captured the attention of international stars like Grimes. Importantly, her ability to build a career that’s entirely DIY, self-sufficient and situated outside mainstream lanes makes her a force to be reckoned with. And the music itself — which fuses metal, trap, pop and electronic elements, topped by raw and unfiltered rhymes — puts Zheani in a lane of her own.” – Red Bull

Following the release of her hugely successful single ‘Fuck The Hollywoof Cult’ in October 2021, today – 25th January 2022 – Dirty Hit’s first Australian signing Zheani announces the release of her 5th EP, ‘I Hate People On The Internet’. The announcement is accompanied by the powerful and fierce lead single ‘Napalm’, which is her first release on the Dirty Hit label.

To date, Zheani has built a reputation for writing culturally poignant music that chastises many of the problems rife within the modern world. Her latest release, ‘Napalm’, is no different. It is a track that foreshadows many of the themes contained within her upcoming EP, ‘I Hate People On The Internet’, as she explores everything from pain to horror, guilt, vengeance, salvation, and crucially, hate. The single is a testament to her stature as a leading voice within the underground pop and heavy music scene, as she continues to be a person who is unafraid to speak her mind and highlight the uncomfortable truths that many people experience.

‘Napalm’ follows the release of ‘Fuck The Hollywood Cult’, which was released in October 2021 and has already gained nearly half a million streams, proving once again the presence of a strong and passionate fanbase that has helped Zheani amass 175,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, millions of views on YouTube, and hundreds of thousands of social media followers.

‘I Hate People On The Internet’ has been produced by Zheani, King Yosef and Mik Shida, with additional production by Catherine Marks. It is set to be released on 23rd March 2022 via Dirty Hit, with the EP artwork still to come.

Speaking about ‘I Hate People On The Internet’, Zheani said: “The majority of my audience, if I’m being completely honest, are the people that the ‘creative’ industry look down on and silently judge. And I want them to prove that pretentious and shallow judgement to be wrong. I want them to strive for more. I want them to know they are only as valuable as the value they claim for themselves, not the value this sick world places on them. I never want them to give up. I want them to keep trying. When you’re not born into privilege, love, or stability at the very least, you only get what you take in this life.”
