Tamta's latest single, Khorumi, marks an exciting new chapter in the visionary pop artist’s ever-evolving career. Featured on her recent EP The Villain, the track blends leftfield electronic beats with traditional influences, creating a genre-defying soundscape. The song draws inspiration from the dynamic rhythm of the Georgian war dance, "doli," and is imbued with themes of resilience, unity, and personal triumph. With lyrics in both Greek and Georgian, Khorumi is a powerful fusion of cultural roots and forward-thinking production, brought to life by TEO.x3. This new release also includes a remix by techno producer Die Arkitekt.
What sets Khorumi apart is Tamta’s bold exploration of global sounds and her ability to seamlessly merge pop with techno, hyperpop, and leftfield influences while incorporating elements rooted in her own culture. With a style akin to boundary-pushing artists like FKA Twigs and Arca, Tamta has created a track that feels unique and packed with an irresistible energy. The single isn’t just a musical release—it’s a declaration of artistic freedom. Tamta herself describes Khorumi as a personal narrative of searching, confronting, and celebrating victory—a sentiment that resonates deeply through the song's pulsating rhythms and bold melodies. The song is accompanied by an equally compelling and hypnotic music video directed by Alexander Stamatiadis and styled by Beau Tiger Rae.
Following her viral performance at Madwalk 2024, having represented Cyprus at the Eurovision Song Contest and garnering more than 769k views in her previous single Anakata, Tamta is more ready than ever to captivate a global audience. With her upcoming headline show at Colours Hoxton in London and her ever-growing presence in fashion and music, Khorumi reinforces her cultural status. With over 250 million streams and a dedicated fanbase, Tamta continues to redefine pop music, blending her heritage with innovative sounds in ways few others dare to.
