Wildcard (week 16):
Hey Violet – Better By Myself
Throughout the spring and summer, Hey Violet are set to release four new tracks. Better By Myself is the first, and also their first release since the Los Angeles based pop-rock bandโs 2017 debut albumย From The Outside.
Better By Myself is a good old break-up song, but while other tracks in that category are often melancholic, full of heartache and pain, Hey Violet deliver an upbeat tune of relief and self-love. Front womanย Rena Lovelis reveals:ย โItโs about being in an unhealthy relationship and having the courage to leave, but realizing maybe youโre isolating a little much. I think we need to fall in love with ourselves before we fall in love with anybody else and thatโs why the song sounds so celebratory. Itโs about finding that happy medium between โI donโt need anyone,โ which tends to be a defense mechanism, and being truly okay with yourself.โ
Hey Violetโs Better By Myself is this weekโs Carte Blanche Music Wildcard!
