Young German artist VØR left us stuck on repeat with her latest release “Can’t Move” from her amazing EP “Honey”. The minute we heard VØR’s voice we fall in love with it and couldn’t get it out of our heads! She has one of the richest and most beautiful pop voices we’ve ever heard. The lyrics are emotional, beautifully written, and mesh with the vocal melodies perfectly. The production is professional and the atmosphere is very unique. VØR is a talented artist and her performance on this record is on another level. This song left us super excited to see where VØR’s career will go over the coming months! We hope you love this song as much as we do!
WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS:
“My music allows me to take a break and to enter a world in which I can dream and find myself. It is my safe space and I try to share this feeling of security with the audience. In a different way, extended topics from their environment meet the existing evil demons of her thoughts on Honey.“
“There is no fixed topic on ‘Honey’, in some songs I observe my innermost and share it. My fears, my depression, or what it was like to grow up with someone who is an alcoholic. In other songs I share my observations and become a kind of magnifying glass for the listener. I address topics that are considered a taboo and that can also hurt – if you take a closer look.“
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
VØR is a young woman looking for answers in a seemingly pointless world. A great voice that sounds fragile and deep as well as triumphant and high. She comes close to these brief moments of triumph when she finds her own answers and structures in the chaos. When the honey flows over her skin, and she learns to love herself in this metaphor. »Loving and accepting yourself with all your rough edges is not is not self-evident for me, I try to get a little better at it every day. The instrumental of the single ›Honey‹ consists almost entirely of me and my voice, which makes the song so authentic.«
In »Unspoken« she conjures up memories of a past love and uses her music to look for ways out of the darkness. In doing so, she manages to be unapproachably delicate in her path-finding and,at the same time, expose unshakable truths about life that affect or could affect everyone.
The artist illustrates the latter in »Can‘t Move«, the third single, by depicting sexual abuse as a dialogue between the perpetrator and the victim. »The verses are written from the point of view of the man who ›plays hide and seek‹ in the street and longs to hear his name from a woman’s mouth.« Central to this is the motif of the free movement of women in social spaces and how the seemingly innocent behavior of men can restrict this freedom of movement in the physical and figurative sense. With the lines »Baby don’t talk, Don’t you talk, They told me what you like« another facet of the topic reveals itself. »It is important to me that the criticism is not directed towards the men alone, but to society as a whole«
The two “LIMINAL” EPs were created in what she describes as a chaotic time.
»When I think back, I notice how naive I was back then. The people I worked with approached my songs very differently than I did. They processed my songs more like a service. In general there’s nothing wrong with that, but it wasn’t what I needed in order to develop myself further. In the last few years I have learned a lot that is important for me and my work.”
Now, VØR finds herself in a more structured environment, which is noticeable not only in the precise emotional observations of her texts but also in the sound and the productions.
»On my debut album, I was lucky enough to work with producers on a partnership level, which allowed me to put a lot more time into my songs. Now that I’ve got more experience, I’ve been able to influence the sound more in many areas than with the EPs.«
Nico K.I.Z is Executive Producer. He is eager to experiment with the record‘s sound that makes you cry with joy: gloomy, undulating electronic soundtracks opening up in refreshing pop hooks. Despite the humming of the synthesizer, everything always stays organic. The voice is turned into an instrument and is given maximum space to develop the full emotional impact that VØR projects.
