Widely regarded as a stand-out song from Hafdis Huld’s current album ‘Dare to Dream Small’, new single ‘Violet’ is remixed by co-writer and Grammy award winning writer/producer Tim Gordine. Pulsing yet subtle beats provide a dark brooding underscore to Hafdis’s trademark mixture of light and shade. A series of exquisite hooks deliver an ethereal and emotional call to arms.
Championing inner strength, confidence and peace, the song tracks the journey to self-empowerment for a selfie generation riddled with anxiety. In capturing the moment where we lose our childish self without our fully-formed adult self firmly in place, she reminds us that we project
our strongest identity to the outside world when we’re the most lost.
Hafdis explains: “Growing up can be hard but at least my generation didn’t have the constant comparison with every teenager in the world with a phone. Our photos captured a moment, they weren’t posed selfies that we got right after 20 attempts and with an added beauty filter. I’ve watched someone I love almost lose herself along this path before coming out the other side.”
Released through Red Grape Music, ‘Violet’ captures a painful moment in everyone’s lives and reminds us there is light at the end of the tunnel.
