Unwritten Scripts and Wolf Howls: VAYA VAYA Breaks the Frame with 'HELL’ YA'

July 17 2025, Published 1:03 a.m. ET
Synchrony is a term used in artistic academia to describe the union of two distinct facets of a medium that act in harmony with one another. Nowhere is the term and its implications more valuable than in the study of how a visual image and an audio sound can bind together to create a new statement far greater than the sum of its parts.
Musical artist VAYA VAYA has long been infatuated with both music and film, having participated in many festivals and won numerous awards for her work in both fields. Now, she is pushing the perceived boundaries of these forms as she never has before, forging an otherworldly nexus between sound and image. VAYA VAYA's latest work crafts an experience where every note feels like communion and every frame like a revelation, each working to accentuate the other.
Music is all about connection, often on a deeply spiritual level. The act of creating music itself is akin to a defiant prayer; to pour one's soul into a sonic work of art and have it resonate with audiences worldwide is an extraordinary experience.
As a multi-award-winning composer, performer, and director, VAYA VAYA has spent years refining this artistic process. She is neither just a musician nor just a filmmaker; her work is a spiritual mission wrapped in cinema and sound. VAYA VAYA redefines what experimental rock can be: raw, radical, and divine.
“HELL’ YA”: Sacred Sound in Rebellion
Released on June 25, VAYA VAYA’s latest single “HELL’ YA” is both a spiritual anthem and a rebellious declaration. In an era dominated by virality and disposable trends, the track refuses to conform. It’s part resurrection, part emotional liberation—fuelled by divine clarity and gritty reverence.
Unconventional by design, “HELL’ YA” is meant to be felt, not filtered. With this single, VAYA VAYA reclaims sonic space as sacred territory. Each beat pulses with purpose, calling the listener not just to hear, but to awaken. It’s another bold entry in her ever-expanding universe of mystical, cinematic sound.
Elemental Beats
The percussion and rhythm of VAYA VAYA's music is undeniable. Her work is driven by an unyielding sense of momentum, with percussion backbeats that are positioned as natural forces within the sonic landscape: thunderous, tidal, and volcanic. VAYA VAYA's goal with each new percussive beat is to drive the listener into a visceral encounter with the music and ratchet up the tension.
Symbolic Imagery
VAYA VAYA has applied the storytelling principles and grandiose structures she learned from filmmaking to her music, just as she has applied the lessons from her songwriting to her filmic work. As a result, all of her works are thematically saturated; the works of an artist are in complete control of their medium, using every element to express something meaningful. Recurring motifs throughout VAYA VAYA's work (such as mirrors, fire, and water) are metaphorical lenses for identity, transformation, and transcendence.
