The Norwegian singer is back with a new single. Tapping into a journey of deep introspection, Delara comes to realise that we are alone in this world both when we’re born and when we pass away. For cinema fans like me, this is a recurring concept that is found across a range of films, but more especially, in cult movie Donnie Darko (remember that old lady scaring Jake Gyllenhaal with the quote: “Every living creature on this earth dies alone”). And it’s true: we do die alone. However, death is not as important; what matters in the end is the fears we’ve faced and overcome in life, and how these experiences help us grow and improve.

Despite the heaviness of the subject, Delara releases this soulful pop single that is currently synched to Norway’s biggest crime-thriller series Gangs of Oslo. With over 800,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, the singer’s new song follows Unbound, her previous single, which has a more dreamy, ethereal vibe. But with Didn’t you know, Delara takes the hard road and gives her fans harder bars and rhythms.
