THE FADER (USA):
"Cash, Diamond Rings, Swimming Pools" is just the third song from Denitza Todorova bka D E N A, an artist with a charming Bulgarian-via- Berlin accent, an insane floral print suit and a gift for jutting her bottom lip to look bored and interesting at the same time. (...) but have a feeling the song could linger through the summer. It's got the perfect sentiment for left-field barbecue playlists: All I want is you with my friends by the swimming pool.
DIY MAG (UK):
D E N A, a Berlin popstar unlike any other, is the natural extension from this sudden turn of events. But rather than seemingly cuddling up next to trends, the Bulgarian-born, Berlinresiding singer is capable of turning hip-hop beats and R&B synths inside out, where they're no longer recognisable to their former selves. And best of all she spits tons of attitude, especially in the recent video for 'Cash, Diamond Rings, Swimming Pools', which, while bereft of appeal to those who still aren't able to use the word "swag" in everyday conversation, is resplendent in cool.
COMPLEX MAG (USA):
Every once in a while, a song/video comes along from a new artist that demands attention. D E N A's joint "Cash, Diamond Rings, Swimming Pools" falls into that category. It's an ode to three things everyone loves, and the perfect song to pop off poolside this summer. D E N A lives in Berlin (she was born and raised in Bulgaria), and the video for her third song she's released shows her strolling through a flea market, rocking an array of loud outfits, and jamming out to her feel-good track with local vendors. Watch above, and definitely keep D E N A on your radar.
