Sri Lankan, London-based artist GILSKA is amping the energy back up with a new EDM-pop single, “Finish What You Started.” Renowned for seamlessly matching soaring vocals with dynamic house production, GILSKA serves up an infectious track primed to light up dance floors, all while promoting a message of self-empowerment.
“Finish What You Started” pulls you in from its first beat with a pummeling rhythm and swelling synths. GILSKA’s ethereal yet authoritative vocals flow seamlessly over the production, inviting listeners into what is simultaneously an emotional and liberating experience. A floor dance rhythm in the track’s heartbeat helps keep the energy high, making it hard not to move. Then the drop, a blast of growling electronic bass, and a euphoric chorus hook that’s a burst of sunshine, bursting with energy. It’s the sort of song you can picture going off in a festival crowd just as easily as you imagine it coming through your headphones for a late-night drive.
But the song also reveals a story that many will find familiar. Describing the track as an anthem for breaking free from toxic cycles and claiming your power back, GILSKA shared that it’s about being the first one to walk away, knowing your power instead of waiting for someone else to write the last chapter. This theme of empowerment comes packaged on top of a banger of a song, a high-energy, feel-good beat that also makes it an anthem for personal strength.
GILSKA’s ability to churn out such a polished hit while also taking the wheel with her production only showcases her artistry. The track balances commercial appeal with an authentic emotional core, affirming why she is quickly emerging on the dance-pop scene. With “Finish What You Started,” GILSKA establishes herself as one to watch. But break up music or not, whether you’re dancing to a happy place away from that heartbreak, or just absorbing the end of its electrifying spirit, this is a track you’re going to be putting on replay for a while. If this is only the beginning, we can’t wait to find out where she’ll take us next.
