After the incredible success of her debut single “Pop the Low,” which soared to the Top 3 on the UK Club Chart and captured the spotlight on digital platforms and radio stations in the US, Italy, and Ibiza, Venezuelan artist Patricia Zavala is back with her electrifying new single, “Thunder.” She has quickly established herself within the global house music scene.
Patricia’s latest track merges deep house beats with soulful vocals, her new single is a seamless continuation of Patricia’s previous success with with producers Gianni Romano, Aüra, and Emanuele Esposito.
‘Thunder’ is about that person you always knew was meant to be a lesson —a storm you let destroy you, because deep down, you needed that transformation. It’s about embracing the shadow within and understanding that sometimes, chaos is what leads to true clarity.”
Once again, Romano has crafted a masterpiece with “Thunder,” drawing listeners into a whirlwind of love and longing. The song captivates with vivid imagery and heartfelt lyrics by Zavala, echoing sentiments like “Now I crave you like the desert craves the rain, like the shadows crave the night.” This emotional odyssey reaches its peak with the powerful declaration, “I need you cause you feel like thunder.”
The music video, directed by renowned Venezuelan filmmaker Marcel Rasquin, was filmed in Los Angeles and draws inspiration from exploitation genre films and nightmarish themes. It follows Patricia through a series of strange, abstract scenes—ranging from a desolate desert road to a butcher shop—where she encounters unusual and eccentric characters, including a contortionist and an enigmatic butcher. The video culminates in a dynamic dance sequence that encapsulates the haunting and cinematic essence of the song's lyrics.
'Thunder' is our love letter to 1960’s and 70’s low brow exploitation cinema, sprinkled with surrealism, erotism and symbolism. The surreal with the hyper real. We wanted it to feel like the lost reel of an old movie. Patricia is simply the best collaborator, she’s not only game for every crazy shit I come up with, she jumps on it and builds it up even more.
