SERENA releases new single “Heartworm”

Originally growing up in Italy, then spending time in the USA before moving to the UK where she settled in London to work on her artistic vision at the renowned British Institute for Modern Music, SERENA is a singer-songwriter making her own style of alternative pop music.

Becoming immersed in the city’s diverse and multi-cultural music scene that surrounded her, she was inspired to create her own material, transitioning from her experience with lyrics and chords to working with samples and synthesisers.

Showing her abundant creativity in everything she does, she’s collaborated as a songwriter, co-writing the club anthem “Leave It” with Andrea Di Giovanni as well as making her own podcast. Producing her own music, she’s also played live at legendary London venues such as the O2 Academy Islington, the Troubadour and Notting Hill Arts Club.

With her studio releases, she made her introduction in 2017 with her debut single “Painkillers”. Followed up by a handful of stellar singles, her debut EP Welcome to Wasteland from last year and two remixes of her track “Wild Lavender” by Al Worth and St. Ruby, this year she’s returned with a brand new single titled “Heartworm”.

Written about escaping from a toxic relationship and cutting out a ‘love parasite’, with “Heartworm” SERENA drops a moody indie pop anthem packed full of punching drums, driving guitars and her soaring vocal work delivering her emotive lyricism. The latest gem from a truly talented artist, “Heartworm” captures all the songwriting skill and vocal panache of SERENA in an instantly catchy, potent hit.
