The track sees the outfit continue to masterfully disregard genre convention
Thoroughly engaging and fun outfit Hey Violet are a band that have been through a range of iterations and eras but may just be in the midst of their most exciting yet. Boasting a sound that feels both readily accessible and fun but with playful sonic touches, and a happy tendency to flirt with genre conventions and challenge the very foundations of modern pop, Hey Violet have created a playground with which to flex their musical talents.
Latest release, ‘Party Girl’ is an ode to partying and the spiraling mess that the lifestyle can easily suck you into, the track harrowingly astute realisation of the emptiness and desolate loneliness that this slope you rapidly help you down, and uses a playful, energetic bounciness within its sound to mask this hidden underbelly. Much life the lifestyle itself, the track is fun and harmless on the surface with a lingering, foreboding darkness lurking beneath, providing a really cool juxtaposition that just adds to the already captivating, colourful palette of the track. Everything isn’t always as it seems.
