Polish vocalist, Naja and UK producers Alfie Cridland and Adam Griffin, unleash a charged-up version of Lady Gaga’s ‘Bloody Mary’. The original of ‘Bloody Mary’ went viral following the TikTok craze of users, including Madonna and Gaga herself, recreating the dance scene by Jennifer Ortega in the Tim Burton Netflix hit series, Wednesday. It’s out now on Griffin’s chart-topping record label, Perfect Havoc.
Born out the viral TikTok edit of ‘Bloody Mary’ by Naja and the multi-platinum UK producer, Harrison, this new version by Cridland and Griffin notches up the bpm’s into a hypnotic, dancefloor stomper. While the Gaga version wasn’t actually used in the now famous scene of Wednesday – it was soundtracked by ‘Goo Goo Muck’ by The Cramps – ‘Bloody Mary’ has captured the hearts of music lovers worldwide and this latest version is set to follow suit.
For the producers at work here, breaking talent Alfie Cridland has already had a taste of success with his 2020 release of ‘New Levels’ with Tobtok, Milwin and Mia Falls. It has streamed over 20 million times, synced on numerous primetime TV shows including Love Island UK, and was made Tune Of The Week on BBC Radio 1 and subsequently spun 49 times on air.
Producer and A&R at Perfect Havoc (co-founded with Robert Davies), Adam Griffin, has been having his own success in recent years with releases in collaboration with the Swedish sensation, Tobtok, US-house legend, Todd Terry, Anton Powers, James Hurr and more. Over 25 million streams have been generated by this versatile label head alongside accolades that include a ‘Future Anthem’ from Radio 1, several spins across Party Anthems and Dance Anthems, and further certifying playlist adds on Capital Dance and KISS Dance.
The career of 23-year-old singer and music producer, Naja is only just starting, but already her card is marked for great things. Her unique voice was recognised by the LithuaniaHQ label, and later by Hot Vibes Records, to release her first cover track titled ‘Dolly Song’ in October 201. She’s since gone on to work with some of Poland’s biggest DJs and producers, including Emdi (Morning Light), B.R.T and Conki (Tu Es Foutu). Today, Naja (real name, Natalia) is heading in a new direction. She promises more of a Deep House vibe to future productions as she aims to develop her creativity in music. Her performance on ‘Bloody Mary’ is a great start to it.
‘Bloody Mary’ is yet another creative move for Perfect Havoc. Shortlisted for Best Independent Record Label at the 2022 Music Week Awards, Perfect Havoc’s niche of commercial dance with a smattering of the more club-focused sounds has given rise to six UK Top 20 singles including ‘Fake Friends’ by PS1 feat. Alex Hosking, and the No.1 single ‘Head & Heart’ by Joel Corry & MNEK.
Now having generated over 10 billion streams, the London-based Perfect Havoc is one of the most consistently successful indies in recent years. Keep an ear out for more releases in 2023 with cuts also from Tobtok, CHANEY, Freejak, Ben Pearce, Varski and much more is lined up.
