vi0let is no stranger to the Alfitude pages – and with good reason. This promising talent continues to impress us with her ever-evolving work, and today’s release of ‘Lonely’ is no exception.

As the title implies, the song looks at feelings of loneliness – particularly after the breakdown of a relationship.

As we’ve come to expect from this artist, the production delivers a finessed sound that seamlessly fuses pop with R&B. Elaborating further on the track’s lyricism, vi0let explains:

“I wrote ‘Lonely’ during a time where I was going through a lot of change. I got out of a long-term relationship and was planning my move to London. I was really scared of my future, scared I would feel lost and lonely at the start and having to land on my feet again. It made me just want to resort back to all the comforting things I still had in my life. One of them was going back home a lot. It was a nice escape from adult life, even if I would only go back for a few days. Lonely describes the desperation of seeking comfort when things feel like they’re falling apart. It’s an honest and raw admission to staying in the same place out of fear of change. The chorus really embodies that mentality. Being in your 20’s is great and I’m aware of how much I need to enjoy these times but I also feel like my time is running out sometimes, like in the second verse of Lonely I describe the fears of not being where I want to be in my career and the pressures I feel as a woman in music to reach certain milestones at a young age. This song really encompasses the coming of age anxieties of a 20-something year old!”

‘Lonely’ serves a a follow up to vi0let’s previous single, ‘Dreams‘, which was featured on playlists as prominent as Spotify’s Fresh Finds: UK & IE and A Breath of Fresh Éire.

London-based talent vi0let unveils a euphoric fusion of electro-pop and R&B through her new single, ‘Dreams’.

Inspired by the little moments that make life special (like partying with friends or behaving carefree every now and then), the song reminds us all to be true to ourselves and to be bold with the challenges that the world throws at us.

The track continues to mark the German-Irish singer and songwriter as an emerging artist to keep on your radars. To date, vi0let has already amassed more than 220k career streams on Spotify alone.

UK-based singer & songwriter vi0let returns today with the release of melodic new single ‘Audience’.

Further showcasing this starlet’s flair for songwriting, the track presents listeners with a sleek fusion of R&B and pop, while the lyrics tell of those moments when you finally realise your true worth within a toxic relationship.

“It’s almost like they don’t really see you for you. They just want your reaction to feel better about themselves. Feeling so replaceable yet so tied down can feel really confusing and writing this song, using all these metaphors to describe the polar opposite behaviours of this person, really helped me understand my role in this situation. It’s actually not about a romantic relationship. It describes multiple friendships and family members, which can sometimes be even more painful to deal with. I didn’t want this track to be a sad one, I felt quite powerful writing it when I finally realised the role I was playing for other people. By the end of the song I say ‘Seems like it’s easier when I go, blocking out the life you never tried so I pack up my bags maybe you’ll grow.’ Which is my way of coming to terms that it’s sometimes better to remove yourself and wish them the best.”

With praise from the likes of Wonderland and Earmilk already under her belt, vi0let is rapidly marking her name as an artist to watch.

‘Audience’ is lifted from the forthcoming ‘Believe Me When I Cry’ debut EP, which is out in the autumn.
