Metallic Butterfly

Princess Nokia

A cyber-spiritual blend of cloud rap and trip-hop. Shimmering synths and breakbeats create a digital forest for Nokia's ethereal, shape-shifting vocals.

It sounds like a mermaid found a laptop in 2002 and started making beats.

A shimmering, digital dreamscape that balances tech-nostalgia with ancient spiritual grounding.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the frantic jungle breakbeats on Biohazard Butterfly that shatters the previous calm.
The way the vocals on Dragons feel like they are floating inside a thick cloud of reverb and digital delay.
The sudden shift to organic percussion and traditional chanting on the closing track Yaya.
