New wave pop artist, So Much Light (aka Damien Verrett) has released his new single, “Bad News” in the most upbeat way, with help from singer-songwriter VIVIAN. Listen to the track now below!
As Verrett explains, “I started writing this song towards the end of a relationship. I was looking for break-up songs and wishing I could find something to listen to that was more reflective of my feelings. I was sad and confused, but I also understood that going forward I still wanted this person in my life and that in order to make that happen I needed to end up in a place of understanding rather than bitterness. Getting VIVIAN on the track was a no-brainer. I feel like she views the world through a clearer lens than mine and I needed her perspective to help make the track feel balanced”
VIVIAN adds, “To me, it’s about being in that in-between space with someone you love… Maybe the relationship is ending but you aren’t ready to let go of it yet; so confusion and chaos are wrestling there. Love relationships are reflectors too, so it’s also about confronting the dark parts within yourself that come to face you in the mirror when you are intimate with another person. We want to find common understanding again, or at least some sort of resolution from being in limbo.”
Fans can catch So Much Light live at the Strawberry Girls CD release shows in Fullerton and Los Angeles.
