GILSKA turns up the heat with new single 'Electric'

Sri Lankan, London-based artist GILSKA returns with her latest single 'Electric', bringing together atmospheric electronic production, R&B influences and sharp pop instincts.

Built around a deep, pulsing bassline and expansive synths, the track has a darker, seductive edge, with GILSKA's layered vocals adding to its hypnotic feel. Drawing on Middle Eastern-inspired melodies alongside modern hip-hop production, 'Electric' captures the tension of being drawn towards something you know might not be good for you.

The new release continues a strong run for GILSKA, who has already picked up support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Asian Network, KISS FM and BBC Introducing, alongside coverage from Clash, Notion, DMY, Earmilk, Rolling Stone India and more.

2026 has seen her profile grow further, including a performance on the BBC Introducing Stage at The Great Escape, following a BBC Radio 1 live session and previous appearances at venues including Wembley Stadium.

Blending contemporary electronic pop with elements of her Sri Lankan heritage, GILSKA continues to carve out a sound that feels both personal and hard to categorise. 'Electric' marks another step forward for an artist quickly establishing herself as one to watch.
