Los Angeles, CA – August 27, 2020 – Israeli/American hard rock solo artist SIMA (Sima Galanti) has released her new single, an edgy version of the hit “Love Is A Battlefield.” SIMA adds her own touch to the 1983 Pat Benatar classic, bringing attitude with gritty vocals, heavy guitar, and propulsive electronics.

“I decided to cover ‘Love Is A Battlefield’ because I’ve always loved the song and Pat Benatar’s music and powerful voice, and knew that I could create a version that is my own and bring my SIMA sound to it,” she shares. “I loved watching the music video growing up on MTV and VH1. Looking back at my journey – leaving Israel, my overprotective parents, moving to NYC at a young age, and living such an exciting life in the big city – I can relate to the video even more now. People always told me that I should cover this song and years later, I’m finally doing it! I love the combination of the electronic and rock sounds that I often mix in my own music. ‘Love Is A Battlefield’ has a sense of this rebellious, young vibe, and spirit. It’s powerful and inspiring, with an essence of love and life. I can definitely relate to the lyrics and energy of the song and it felt like the perfect song to release after my single ‘Runaways’ that touches upon many of the same themes. I’m someone who is rebellious and powerful, walks my own path in life, and believes in love and wants that in my life. There are no guarantees in life and love; you’ve got to take the risks and keep your heart and mind open, even if knowing that you might get hurt.”
“Love Is A Battlefield” is the second single off SIMA’s forthcoming album Runaways, her second full-length independent album to be released later this year.
