The artist from l'Alfàs del Pi, Dalia Van Bergen, based in London, continues her musical career with the release of her new single, ‘Colour (of my father)’. The song, a cinematic pop track, addresses recurring themes in her work such as identity, family heritage, self-discovery, and the emotions that linger after difficult experiences.
With this new release, Dalia maintains an intense pace of publications throughout 2026. In recent months, she has released tracks like ‘Samsara’ and ‘Through generations’, as well as the EP ‘you said my sun was always blue, but I’ll let that die with you’. Her musical proposal is consolidating as a space to reflect on family relationships and the construction of identity.
‘Colour (of my father)’ is based on the simple yet powerful image of recognizing paternal traits in one's own face, especially when the relationship with the father has been marked by distance or complex experiences. The phrase ‘Colour of my father on my face’ becomes the central axis of the song, which speaks of inheritance and what remains, even when trying to break away from certain past stories.
The lyrics also explore feelings such as rage, shame, and the sense of not finding one's place. Dalia speaks of carrying that ‘rage in her veins’ and feeling unable to connect with calm spaces, transferring the conflict between what a person wants to leave behind and what, in one way or another, continues to be part of them into music.
The new single further continues the narrative universe that the artist had already developed in her previous EP, ‘you said my sun was always blue, but I’ll let that die with you’, where she addressed the need to cut ties and shed certain impositions or external perceptions. In ‘Colour (of my father)’, Dalia takes a further step to discuss the consequences of that process and the difficulty of completely escaping what is part of one's own history.
The publication of this new single confirms the creative moment Dalia is experiencing. Throughout 2026, she has progressively expanded her repertoire with songs that maintain a common thread, although each addresses a different perspective.
Among her releases, ‘Running with the Wolves’ stands out, which has gained airplay on British radio stations and explores the pressure of living up to a demanding father, connecting with some of the issues that later appear in ‘Colour (of my father)’. Also part of her EP are ‘Eden’, a nostalgic and introspective synth-pop piece, and ‘Blue June’, marked by its electronic and melancholic atmospheres.
These works are joined by other releases such as ‘Cut It Off!’, an indie-pop track with a cathartic character that turns rejection into a personal claim; ‘Stupid Lover Girl’, released in 2025 and focused on sentimental disappointments; and her first songs, ‘Nothing but Pain’ and ‘Pink Clouds’, with which she began to define an intimate and personal style.
With each new release, Dalia continues to build her own musical universe from London, while maintaining her connection with l'Alfàs del Pi, her hometown. Her proposal combines pop with a marked conceptual dimension, using songs as a way to explore personal experiences, relationships, emotions, and self-discovery processes.
‘Colour (of my father)’ is now available on major digital platforms, adding to a career that, far from stopping, continues to grow with new themes and new stories to tell.
