ALT-POP singer POLA releases her bold new single and EP, “Electrify My Heart”, a lush, emotional odyssey produced in collaboration with acclaimed songwriter and producer Ed Harcourt. This project wraps ethereal vocals, sharp lyricism, and striking production into one beautifully cohesive body of work. From the very first track, it’s clear that Pola and Ed are not just artists but visionaries, guiding listeners through a world crafted with care, sensitivity, and sonic brilliance. The title track, Electrify My Heart, was co-written by the two, blending their creative forces into a cinematic and emotionally charged anthem.
The title track, “Electrify My Heart”, is a dynamic, radio-ready pop song. With echoes of Madonna’s melodic mystique and Massive Attack’s cinematic atmosphere, the song blends contemporary pop with trip-hop, delivering a fresh take on the iconic ’90s sound. More than just a sonic experience, it’s a powerful portrayal of an intimate, transformational encounter with God, told through the language of modern pop.
“This song is about being radically changed from the inside out,” says Pola. “It’s the feeling of being seen, known, and overwhelmed by something greater, like a jolt of holy electricity that resets and renews everything.”
Pola, a classically trained musician and London-based artist, has roots in experimental pop and a heritage of musical excellence, born into a renowned family of musicians in Poland. She brings an avant-garde edge to her sound, merging emotional depth with genre-defying creativity. With “Electrify My Heart,” she confidently steps into the commercial pop arena without sacrificing her artistic identity.
The EP opens with “The World Needs Love”, and it’s nothing short of stunning. Pola’s vocal delivery floats over ambient textures like a breath of fresh air in heavy times. There’s something deeply healing about this track, it arrived at just the right moment, like a message from the universe. The chorus is where the song hits hardest: “There’s no need to cry, the world needs love.” It’s a simple but impactful line, brilliantly delivered. The transition back into the verse plunges you into an abyss of wet drums and atmosphere, setting the stage for a melancholic but resonant experience.

As the EP continues, “Emerald Sea” becomes a standout, a dream trip that fully immerses you. The mixing is impressive, delicately balancing lush synths and airy vocals to create a track that suspends time. It’s a masterclass in sonic escapism.
“This Is How It All Began” follows, sounding like a love letter to the ’80s, especially Madonna. But this is no throwback, it’s a transformation. Pola combines retro spirit with contemporary production, crafting a sound that’s familiar yet entirely her own. It’s a glowing example of how nostalgia and innovation can coexist.
The EP closes with the title track, “Electrify My Heart”, and it couldn’t be a more fitting finale. Bold, cinematic, and emotionally charged, this is a song that’s destined to thrive in a live setting. The energy in the production pulses with life, and Pola’s voice soars effortlessly above it all.
