You know that moment when a track hits and the bass just grabs you by the chest while the vocals float somewhere between dream and late-night regret? That’s the feeling Maria Domark is serving on her latest, “what have i done.”
Sitting right at the crossroads of Dance Pop and Trance, this one leans into the glossy, club-ready energy that’s been making a serious comeback. Trance is having a proper revival right now—festival stages are filling up with those big melodic builds and driving kicks again—and Domark slots into that wave without forcing it. The production feels high-gloss and modern, the kind of polished sound that still carries real weight in the low end. Think imposing basslines that hit hard enough to move a room, paired with the kind of melodic lift that keeps Dance Pop feeling fresh instead of formulaic.
If you’ve been following her, none of this should surprise you. Domark has been making waves for her hyper-modern 3D visuals, often crafted with collaborators like Sevi Domochevsky (the same name that pops up next to Grimes, Charli XCX, and Arca). Critics have already drawn lines to Grimes, Poppy, Ashnikko, and Dorian Electra, and you can hear why. Her style lives in that space where haunting vocals meet heavy, almost industrial-edged low end, but never loses the pop sheen.
Her background feeds straight into the music. Raised in a musical family by professional Russian ballerinas, performance and sound were always part of the air she breathed. After time in modelling and the spotlight that comes with it, she stepped away and started channeling everything—experiences, thoughts, feelings—into songwriting and production. Music became the coping mechanism, the place where stories get told with high-gloss precision. That honesty sits under the surface of tracks like this one. You don’t need a full lyric sheet to feel the emotional charge; the title alone (“what have i done”) and the genre blend already point toward something reflective wrapped in dancefloor energy.
Dance Pop has always thrived on that tension between vulnerability and movement, and Trance adds the expansive, almost euphoric edge. In 2026 the two are talking to each other more than ever. Artists who can keep the emotional core while delivering bass that actually moves people are the ones cutting through. Domark does exactly that. The track sits comfortably in her growing body of work—earlier releases already showed the future-pop instincts, the dark-edged melodies, and the visual ambition. “what have i done” feels like another step deeper into that lane, still personal, still polished, still ready for both headphones and bigger systems.
