Her So Vanilla [out Oct. 27] rollout rolls on with a new single that is anything but as London-based, Austrian-Brazilian artist Viji shares the alt-pop, lo-fi hybrid “Karaoke.”
Teeming with dark themes, this off-kilter party anthem tees up a more understated and subtle listen. Speaking on her process, she shares:
[This song] came out of a silly 10 min jam at the end of a writing session. I remember picking up the bass and just riffing with some filthy low-end sounds. Dan [Carey] felt the magic and we recorded 3 or 4 minutes of us going for it, followed by some guide vocals inspired by shouty Japanese punk songs I like. What the lyrics actually turned into is such a time stamp of what I was going through at that very moment.
Thankfully that moment is forever memorialized in sound now.
