After a year spent sharpening her craft, Ukrainian born, NZ based - VÏKAE rises with "Swipe Right" - the first explosive offering from her upcoming body of work, DOOMSDAY COLLECTIVE, due November 2025.
Fierce, unapologetic, and laced with razor-sharp wit, "Swipe Right" dives headfirst into the chaos of modern love, survival, and self-preservation. This isn’t reinvention... it’s resurrection.
Born in Ukraine and based in New Zealand, VÏKAE weaves the resilience and defiance of her homeland into every beat. "Swipe Right" is a dark-pop battle cry for a world standing at the edge, setting the stage for an album that wrestles with heartbreak, identity, and the aftermath of chaos without fear.
Co-written and produced by Abigail Knudson and mastered by Rich Bryan, "Swipe Right" pulses with cinematic tension, hypnotic hooks, and raw energy. Stunning visuals led by Chontalle Musson bring the dark-pop vision to life: vivid, surreal, and unforgettable.
A national New Zealand tour is in the works for 2025, followed by a full-scale European tour in 2026, marking the beginning of VÏKAE's boldest era yet.
"This isn’t just a comeback," says VÏKAE. "It’s a resurrection. It’s a fight for survival ... in love, in war, and in myself."
"Swipe Right" is out now on all major platforms.
