New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Regarded as the "Madonna of Albania," international Pop-sensation Bleona is releasing her latest single "
Haters" independently and in conjunction with a video directed by Chris Applebaum (Rihanna Ft. Jay-Z: "
Umbrella") on March 8th, 2020. The release date coincides with International Women's Day. "
Haters" subsequently follows on the heels of the success of her hit single "I Don't Need Your Love," which peaked at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Dance Charts in 2019.
With Bleona's own beat-heavy brand of high-octane, melodic dance-Pop, "
Haters" comes ahead of her newest EP set to release later this year and is being co-produced by GRAMMY-Award® winning producer and songwriter
Timbaland and Fede Vindver. The song is a deeply personal, contemporary narrative encapsulating Bleona's iconoclastic persona in its brash and unapologetic examination of a contemporary narrative. The socially charged lyrics probe the paradoxical relationships developed and experienced through social commentary in new media, a.k.a cyberbullying, centering the song as an anti-hate anthem.
The respective video is a stylized vignette of tongue-in-cheek aggrandizing, illustrated with fetching visuals and in-your-face bravada, embodying Bleona's fiercely autonomous spirit as expertly executed by
Director Chris Applebaum and
Director of Photography, Jeffrey
Kelly (Beyoncé: "
Drunk In Love"). Featured rapping in a satirical parody of the rap video genre is Albanian comedian Besart "Bes" Kallaku.
A multiple award-winning, multi-lingual recording artist and triple-threat, Bleona has sold more than five million albums worldwide, graced over forty magazine covers and has performed for millions of fans - all while operating as a completely independent artist. With no promotional support from a music label she is afforded the freedom to maintain the integrity of her artistic agency. With this newest addition to her dance-Pop oeuvre, "
Haters" is a taste of what is slated to come later this year.
