Maria Domark – is this what you wanted? (Crimson Child VIP)
Fast-rising future pop artist Maria Domark has released the dark, house-inspired VIP mix of her recent single “is this what you wanted?” The beat-forward reimagining, self-produced in collaboration with Crimson Child, propels Domark further into the electronic side of her expansive, ever-evolving sound.
Watch the futuristic, self-directed visual which follows Domark’s journey as she confronts, and ultimately transcends, the shadow of a past toxic relationship – stepping out of a neon-lit elevator with purpose, a visual embodiment of moving and reclaiming her narrative.
Where the original introduced the most intimate and vulnerable side of Domark yet and found her processing heartache and reclaiming her power and identity, “is this what you wanted? (Crimson Child VIP)” surges with heavy basslines and futuristic synths that continue to push the boundaries of future-pop with unapologetic authenticity and a bold, experimental sound. “This song is about processing emotions after a breakup, reflecting on toxic dynamics and the subsequent journey of healing and moving on,” adds Domark.
Further signaling a transformative new chapter for Domark in which she steps into her own as an artist, producer, and songwriter, inhabiting the persona she once only projected in her previous releases, “is this what you wanted?” blends her past as a guitar-playing teenager with her electronic-leaning present into a honed-in expression. With her confidence on full display, the track stands as a testament to her resilience and artistic evolution, striking a balance between the emotional depth of the original pop ballad and the futuristic energy of her fiercely independent debut EP Flawless, which included standout track “Mieway,” was mixed and mastered by chart-topping engineer Scott Banks, and drew early comparisons to Grimes, Poppy, Ashnikko, and Dorian Electra. “is this what you wanted? (Crimson Child VIP)” also follows the release of 2024 pop-punk single “MEAN.”
Establishing herself as one of the most exciting new voices in dance-pop and making waves for her hyper-modern 3D visuals crafted alongside collaborators like Sevi Domochevsky (Grimes, Charli XCX, Arca), Domark has received acclaim for her unique blend of haunting vocals and imposing basslines. Raised in a musical family by professional Russian ballerinas, Domark’s life and passions have always revolved around music and performance. Reconnecting with her soul’s purpose of telling stories through song, Domark uses her artistry as a coping mechanism — channeling her experiences, thoughts, and feelings into high-gloss pop perfection.
