Anglo-Greek rock-pop artist D3LTA returns with a gut-punch of a single, ‘Kids’ (Listen Here)— a striking meditation on desensitization in the digital age. The song unpacks what it means to grow up in a world where endless tragedy scrolls past like static, a stark counterpoint to the glossy optimism we’re constantly sold.
“The refrain ‘The kids will be alright’ doesn’t arrive as reassurance, but is a chilling mantra of denial, the lie we tell ourselves while the world burns,” says D3lta. “As what feels heaviest, is knowing that children growing up in places of conflict like Gaza and beyond, have no fault in any of it. They were simply born into circumstances beyond their control, and it feels like we’re sitting back without doing enough to change it.”
Musically, ‘Kids’ channels the artistic reinvention of David Bowie and the social introspection of Sam Fender and Declan McKenna, pairing D3lta’s lyrical honesty with driving alt-rock energy. The track plays like a modern elegy for connection — a pulse of frustration and fragility in a world numbed by noise.
With the help of acclaimed collaborators Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Adele) and Max Wolfgang (Laufey, BLACKPINK), D3lta has sharpened his anthemic edge while continuing to expand his live presence, from opening slots for Scouting for Girls (2023) to touring with JC Stewart across Europe earlier this year.
With follow-up single ‘Animals’ arriving in November and ‘Mad About It’ early next year, and his debut album on the horizon, D3lta cements himself as one of alt-rock’s most compelling new voices — unafraid to hold up a mirror to a world that’s forgotten how to look.
‘Kids’ is now streaming on all platforms.
