Listen: Violet Unveils Debut Single
Violet is the new project from Pixie Geldof, have a listen to her debut single here.
Violet - aka Pixie Geldof - has unveiled her debut single, a double A-side featuring ‘Y.O.U.’ and ‘I Come Undone’. The release will be available via Luv Luv Luv Records from 7th May, and you can have a listen to one half of it below.
Speaking of her foray into music, Geldof says: “Hole was a huge influence on me growing up in a lot of ways – their music, their look - and ‘Violet’ is one of my favourite songs. The music is angry and dark and aggressive but it’s still a love song; there’s still a soft sentiment to it, the lyrics are fragile. I like that juxtaposition in music but I’ve kind of reversed it in my work; I wanted the music to be soft but the lyrics to be darker and heavier.”
The material was recorded by Mark Rankin in Paul Epworth’s studio in west London.
