Surma - Hemma Video
Bom dia everybody! Time for some Portuguese talent! 22 year old Portuguese singer and multi-instrumentalist Surma has premiered the official music video for her brand new single Hemma, out now on Leiria-based Portuguese label Omnichord Records. The beautifully choreographed video, directed by CASOTA Collective, perfectly mimics the relationship between her voice and the enveloping soundscapes. Check it out below!


Surma most childlike voice melds with ambient post-rock atmospherics and calls to mind Joanna Newsom and Björk. Loving the distorted percussion and that captivating soundscape which gives that beautiful ethereal vibe to it. The chorus bursts with bitter sweet euphoria, space and beauty, as Surma’s voice blends into the ether of pads and wailing guitars. As the song draws to a close, the garbled effects of her gated vocal, gently diffuses the energy, allowing the songs emotional gravity to sink in.

Hemma is the lead single of Surma's, aka Debora Umbelino, forthcoming debut album. Surma has crafted an intimate sound that is all her own, and with her debut album due for release in October, the multi-instrumentalist is proving why her voice truly has to be heard.
