Rising Dutch artist Yael Daila returns with her second single, ‘Moulin Rouge’, from her highly anticipated EP ‘Crying Happy Tears’, set for release on April 10th. Infusing pop with a theatrical edge, ‘Moulin Rouge’ is a sassy, emotionally charged track driven by warm storytelling vocals and bold, expressive flair. At its core, ‘Moulin Rouge’ unpacks the experience of being drawn into the charm of a captivating yet destructive figure. With a touch of sarcasm, Yael Daila critiques the illusion such people create, highlighting the chaos of falling for their act, only to realize you were just another piece in their ongoing performance. Produced in collaboration with Dutch producer, Cantstopdjay, who also contributed to three other tracks on the EP, the song transforms pain into empowerment, blending pop and theatrical elements to reclaim control over the narrative.
For Yael Daila, ‘Moulin Rouge’ is deeply personal. Written in the wake of betrayal, it became a cathartic outlet, turning heartbreak into creativity and self-awareness. The track reflects the painful realization that, while she was once enchanted by someone’s illusion, she deserves far more than being a player in their fabricated world. Her upcoming EP ‘Crying Happy Tears’ is a testament to personal growth, exploring themes of heartbreak, emotional manipulation, and self-worth. Through a compelling mix of dark and uplifting tones, dynamic head-voice melodies, and trappy pop production with a moody edge, Yael Daila crafts an immersive and unique sonic experience.
