SINGLE REVIEW: De La Rocka - Voodoo Queen

'Voodoo Queen' is the latest track from De La Rocka, the solo project of Finnish singer, songwriter, and guitarist Panu De La Rocka. Taken from the album “Nightmare Reborn'“. Featuring Hanna Hush on vocals, it’s track a high-energy, psychobilly fireball that doesn’t hold back.

From the moment it kicks in, 'Voodoo Queen' grabs your attention with its frenetic pace. It’s uptempo and chaotic, with guitar riffs that feel like they could break free from the speakers, driven by a bassline that rumbles deep in your chest. It’s the sort of song that pushes you forward, capturing the desperation of its protagonist, a man whose heartbreak drives him to seek out a mysterious Voodoo Queen and her dark magic. The raw urgency of the lyrics is matched perfectly by Panu’s gruff, brash vocals, which really bring the story to life.

The real magic of 'Voodoo Queen' happens when Panu and Hanna’s voices come together. The track takes on a duet style as their vocals complement each other—Panu’s unrefined, gruff delivery mixes with Hanna’s smoother, more soulful style.

The way they play off each other adds an extra layer of energy and depth to the song, giving it a rebellious, free-spirited edge.

If you’re into psychobilly, ‘Voodoo Queen’ is an absolute gem. There’s a certain rawness to it that makes it stand out, from the frantic, untamed rhythms to the powerful bass that anchors the track. It’s loud, it’s gritty, and it’s the kind of tune that makes you want to dance. For fans of high-energy rock 'n' roll with a punk spirit, this track delivers everything you could want! It’s a perfect example of the genre and a track that is sure to get your adrenaline pumping.
