Zora - BELLAdonna (2025)
BELLAdonna, released on January 17, 2025, is ZORA's self-produced sophomore album, presenting a concept narrative that delves into themes of trauma, vengeance, and self-empowerment. The album introduces Belladonna, a supernatural alter ego who embarks on a revenge quest against those who have caused harm, reflecting ZORA's personal experiences and her journey toward healing. Musically, the album traverses genres, incorporating elements of glam rock, operatic vocals, Miami bass, and glitchy, processed production. Tracks like "VIDEOGURL" and "sick sex" exemplify this eclectic mix, with the latter marking a narrative shift from vengeance to love and healing. Critics have noted the album's raw and unapologetic approach, highlighting its blend of hip-hop harshness with pop catchiness. Overall, BELLAdonna is recognized as a bold and compelling work that uses horror aesthetics to process and transcend personal trauma.
