The beautiful and talented Dalita has released her brand new single and video clip for Es pntrum em qez (I’m looking for you). The song has an acoustic and soulful feel with some lovely piano and soft beats through the song. The video clip is beautifully shot as Dalita begins by strumming her guitar and then she strolls through the picturesque autumn country lanes. She looks elegant and charming and Dalita is maturing as an artist with every release she makes.

Dalita represented Armenia at the 2011 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with her song Welcome To Armenia.
