Molyneaux Confronts Past Identity on New Single “Nemesis”
Berlin-based Greek artist Molyneaux has unveiled “Nemesis,” the lead single from her forthcoming album set to launch in February 2027. The track, recorded in Kreuzberg, delves into the difficulties of maturing within a conservative Greek Orthodox setting and reflects on her abandoned baptismal name. It critiques heteronormative standards and emphasizes self-identity. Musically, Molyneaux incorporates raw elements akin to Kedr Livanskiy and Emika, showcasing deconstructed club sounds and gritty synthwave. Mixing was handled by Christos Bekiris, while Iraklis Vlachakis took care of mastering. Molyneaux, who earned a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from the University of Utrecht, previously released the EP Sorrow in 2023. The single includes photography by Panos Tsomakos and design work by con.tino.
