LA-based Siberian Russian musician VeeAlwaysHere is a rising singer, songwriter and producer who has been gaining steady momentum in recent months.
‘joker’ is taken from the artist’s forthcoming ‘broken: playlist II’ album (out soon), and showcases a finessed alternative-R&B sound that is not only powerfully emotive but also deeply captivating to experience.
“Acceptance is the hardest part, and the biggest struggle in this song. When you know it’s doomed and it’s better to just walk away, but the comfort and the familiarity are keeping you from moving on. ‘Life is a movie and you play the lead. I’m trying to see if there’s a role for me’ – this feels like her story and not mine. ‘You played the joker, while I played myself’ – she set everything up the way she wanted, and I fell for it and ended up just lying to myself, but somehow ‘I can’t seem to let it go.’ It’s a mystery even to me.”
VeeAlwaysHere has picked up praise from established outlets like MTV, Billboard and Consequence of Sound, while his songs have been streamed more than 250k time so far.
