Zola Jesus - "Dangerous Days"/"Diamonds" (Rihanna Cover)

A preview from her upcoming album "Taiga," new single "Dangerous Days" may be the best thing I've heard yet from Zola Jesus. This shimmering, ethereal electronic composition is far more suited for play in the club than anything Nika Roza Danilova has produced to date. Zola's early work seemed more rooted in noise and experimentation, while recent years have found her flirting with mainstream pop sensibilities. As further evidence of this metamorphosis, I've also included her cover of Rihanna's "Diamonds." "Taiga" will be released October 7 on Mute Records.
