Blue Violet - 'Poster Girl'
Blue Violet pours their heart and soul into their new single ‘'Poster Girl’’
The iconic due is back with the heartfelt release ‘Poster Girl’ following the success of their last single ‘’Asylum’’ dropped last November, yet again collaborating with the renowned producer Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey, Bat For Lashes). The Anglo-Scottish couple, formerly known as Broken Bones Matilda, blends influences from The Mamas & Papas and Fleetwood Mac into their own modern twist.
In their cinematic new single, they enclose passion and heartache through Sam’s melancholy guitar riffs and Sarah’s hearty vocals, setting out a nostalgic atmosphere from the start. Reminiscing on her tales with a past lover, the captivating sweetness in the singer’s voice complements the quirky aesthetics of the music video, evoking feelings of love and sorrow.
The dreamy yet gloomy visuals of the video capture the nostalgic mood of the lyrics and its narrative of heartbreak, plunging into a world of memories. With touches of indie and folk, the track is packed with dynamism as the melody evolves with a slightly upbeat twist in its second part when the drums are introduced.
This bittersweet story is as sad as it is empowering, as the female protagonist narrates her journey of fighting for her rights and finding her own way through life. This is clearly reflected in the song’s tempo as it then progresses even further in the third part to an intoxicating melody with an alluring end. Although Blue Violet is yet to release upcoming tour dates, the new single builds momentum for the duo and brings anticipation to the table as the pair starts the year with promises of a hit-loaded debut album coming out this April. Titled ‘LATE NIGHT CALLS’, expect hybrid genres, glorious song writing and an array of different themes in the pair’s first album.
