The smooth and personality-filled nature of his distinctive brand of indie R&B is something that gives VC Pines this unmistakable, unique appeal that echoes through all of his work, whether crafting sounds that feel happy, sad, anxious, thoughtful or anything otherwise, his memorable voice and the stylish tones of his sound make for a cocktail that is easy to pick out of a crowd.

The artist’s latest single ‘Chasing The Dragon’ is a track that utilises his depth and emotional core to delve into a toxic relationship and the blurred lines between love and addiction that can often cause so many problems and bad decisions. The end result is a track that explores both the highs and the lows and the cyclical nature of a situation that leaves everybody feeling vulnerable and unguarded while never quite finding what they’re looking for, making for a listen that feels as interesting and intoxicating as the situations that it depicts.

Speaking about “Chasing The Dragon”, he said, “Chasing the dragon Is about love that you can’t let go of despite it being the reason for your suffering. You’re addicted to this person yet you know they’re no good for you, and you’re no good for each other.”
