Helena is a singer-songwriter who defines her essence as a tumultuous soul dancing between notes and words. Her music is her universe, a sea of emotions where each chord is a drop of light. She resists being confined to a single genre, as each of her songs is a journey, an odyssey exploring the deepest shades of the soul. To her, music is like a rainbow that unfurls across the sky, each color telling a unique story.
In her pursuit, Helena seeks to be the light that brightens the hearts in shadow. Her songs are meant to be a warm embrace, an anthem of hope for those searching for the strength to rise again. She sees her name, “fiaccola” (torch), as a perfect symbol of her desire to shine, to be a beacon of warmth in a cold world. Yet, there are walls she’s built within herself, fears that hold her captive. She acknowledges that showing vulnerability is a daily struggle, but it’s from this fragility that true strength is born. Each scar tells a story, and every piece of her that is reborn invites others to embrace their imperfections.
Her latest single, “Roulette Russa,” explores the darker corners of the human experience—particularly the tendency toward self-destruction that lies hidden within us all. The song is a pop piece that delves into masochism, capturing the paradox of seeking suffering because it often seems like the easiest path compared to the fleeting moments of happiness. Life can be as unpredictable as the practice of Russian roulette. With every pull of the trigger, you’re reminded of how we sometimes, unconsciously, add our own bullet to the chamber. The beat of the song mirrors the thumping of a heart, as it contrasts the numbing apathy of depression with the raw intensity of feeling, even if that feeling is rooted in pain. In the midst of this chaos, suffering becomes the only emotion that fills the emptiness inside.
“Roulette Russa” captures this limbo, where doubt and fear cloud every step forward, and the search for escape feels futile. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest of times, when you feel stuck in your own destructive cycle, you should never stop seeking the light in the tunnel. With a message of hope, Helena urges us to hold on and keep searching for that spark of light, even if the journey feels endless. Her song is a declaration: don’t let the weight of despair silence your will to fight for something better.
