This summer has been the season of the electro-pop explosion, and there’s really no signs of this sound slowing down. The next artist seemingly ready for her close-up is fast-rising New York City singer and composer VÉRITÉ, whose debut single “Strange Enough” shares some sonic DNA with the likes of Broods and Ellie Goulding but maintains its distinction via a more new age feel and lusher production.
There’s a little bit of late-’90s-era Dido in there as well; it’s a nice collage of sounds and styles that are helping electro-pop keep its vibe fresh.
The dreamy, infectious “Strange Enough” has been described by VÉRITÉ as “a contemplation of all the questions I’d ask myself about my relationship, and why we bother ourselves to try to make things work sometimes. The song goes back and forth between the nostalgia of what was, the reality of how things shift as time moves on, and how ultimately we romanticize moments that are fleeting. I’m excited and simultaneously terrified to have people hear it. It’s a song that wrote itself.” [via Buzzfeed]
Listen to the song via Soundcloud below, and hear it on Vanya Radio, where we just added it into our mix. We hear there’s also some collaboration with Berklee-born Los Angeles synth-pop duo Carousel in the works, which tickles us even more than we already are.
All systems go.
