Slime was created by layering materials such as vocals, instrumental layers, and lyrics. It depicts a drugged state of mind, as well as a materialistic and vanity-driven existence. A doomed existence that keeps us trapped in the status quo, continually seeking society’s approval rather than our own.
Ν Ε F Λ Ε Λ Ι is a Greek artist currently based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Born into a distinguished music family, she decided to leave her birthplace to discover and pursue her own artistic identity and signature. Her life has been a journey full of various musical endeavours, one that has given her the opportunity to experience and experiment on lots of different musical sounds. Her main interests involve singing, composition, and production; she is also interested in the visual element which she incorporates into her work.

Her music ebbs and flows inside a contemporary and experimental electronic framework which often incorporates traditional elements – mainly Greek, Turkish, and Arabic music widely spread by the descendants of the Greek diaspora. She also draws references from alternative pop and experimental post-rock music. Through the years she has been looking up to artists such as Radiohead, Son Lux, Sevdaliza, Billie Eilish, Stromae and others.
Her artistic process progresses as an assemblage of ideas; it involves the mixing and matching of all things that catch her ear, an amalgam of random and non-random references that merge together. Ν Ε F Λ Ε Λ Ι is interested in and expresses herself through a plethora of signs and styles of interest such as visual, auditory, and overall sensory experiences. This is how her first album, “I Breathe” comes to life, inside her own living room.

Lyrics:
Slimy glitter on your finger
it shows you who to be
all your life you count the days and
keep yourself from breathing
It’s the time to rip your skin and
show your true oneself
But you’ve forgotten how to walk and
now you’re out of breath
Slimy glitter on your finger
it shows you who to be
all your life you count the days and
keep yourself from breathing
Don’t forget to follow her on Instagram.
