International Vocal Star Zarema Wows Us With Her David Alexander Remix Of Closure

16/12/2025

Zarema
Closure (David Alexander Remix)
Los Angeles

She lives in the USA but was born in exile. The Crimean Tatar national had to grow up in Soviet Uzbekistan and only later regained her rightful home when the USSR collapsed. Zarema began music early by learning piano, and from there she went on to form her own career. She began composing as a child, so by adulthood her material had become highly popular. After getting a big name for herself in Crimea, she went international and found fame as far afield as Eastern Europe and Türkiye. Signing to Sony, she found herself performing in front of tens-of-thousand strong crowds as a regular occurrence. Now based in LA, she’s in full flight across the landscape with her reach and ability. Having recently published her beautifully sentimental I Hold You Child earlier in the year, a remix of her pandemic era Closure now makes the front. David Alexander has given the ode to grief a new sense of belonging and rekindled the emotions that we mustn't let fade away. With all of us somehow changed by the situation, some of us lost a lot more than others. This is for them.

Oscillators ripple with harmonious melody, the synthesiser presents in vibrancy and melancholy key. Zarema leans in, her voice at first offers an operatic folk charm that allows us to explore the music. Then, her words begin to dictate the journey. A strong imagery forms within her strong and well-practiced voice. The notes are perfect, and as the techno-house style rhythms ramp up the emotional pressure, Zarema stays on point and continues her exploratory sensations. Saying goodbye to someone special is difficult and making space for grief is an important part of the process, and her lyrics allow us to examine the feelings for ourselves. A euphoria in the music blends seamlessly with Zarema’s heart-felt wishes for life to be more like the dream we were told it is.
