Reina McKenzie’s 2nd EP, “Cinematic Artifacts,” is a striking sonic gallery that filters the emotions of classic cinema through a modern, digital lens. This 4-track collection weaves together nostalgic film motifs and sharp electronic rhythms, exploring the delicate space where human emotion meets the digital grid.
1. Singin’ in the Digital Rain A futuristic homage to the legendary musical masterpiece, Singin’ in the Rain. Over an infectious cyber-pop beat and sparkling synths, Reina sings of digital emotions washing away the synthetic noise. It’s a high-energy anthem that redefines modern pop with a retro-futuristic twist.
2. The Devil Wears Pixels Inspired by the iconic fashion cinema, The Devil Wears Prada, this track blends high-fashion aesthetics with a fierce, glitched-out electronic rhythm. The dark, driving bassline and sharp vocal delivery capture the relentless, cold luxury of a cybernetic runway where style lives forever in the code.
3. Glitch me if you can Borrowing its spirit from the classic cinematic chase, Catch Me If You Can, this track is a fast-paced, genre-bending ride through hyper-pop and synth-wave. Reina’s vocals playfully dance through sonic glitches and rapid beats, challenging the listener to catch her before she vanishes from the system.
4. Gone with the Noise A breathtaking, authentic acoustic ballad that echoes the grand scale of epic cinema, Gone with the Wind. Driven by a soaring piano and sweeping strings, Reina’s raw, vulnerable vocals lay bare the pain of an ending, leaving the listener with the powerful, lingering afterglow of a tragic cinematic masterpiece as the system finally shuts down.
Released on July 28th, 2026. In a world saturated with synthetic reality and endless digital noise, Reina McKenzie uncovers the “artifacts” of genuine emotion left behind. No tricks, no masks—just raw, velvet emotion. While everyone else is playing with shadows, she offers the only truth to hold onto. A masterfully crafted cinematic illusion.
Please look forward to this quadruple feature of cinematic masterpieces.
