So, guess who decided to grace the music scene with their latest antics? The Veronicas. Yeah, that Australian duo we all remember—Jessie and Lisa—who ran off to LA as teenagers, got themselves signed by Seymour Stein, and then developed into some long-lasting pop phenomenon. Now, they've got a sixth studio LP, 'GOTHIC SUMMER,' landing in March. Fine. Let's do this.
A Pop-Punk Fusion Festival
Their latest single, 'Detox,' just dropped and boy, does it pulsate with pop-punk fury. According to the dynamic duo, it's all about their core influences but with a sprinkle of melodic invention. The video's apparently a frenetic mix of 60s performance clips and Michael Jackson moves, directed by Australian BMX rider turned video dude, Pat Freyne.
In their own words: “We contrasted wide shots with extreme close-ups, and purposefully improvised dance scenes to encourage physical and emotional mirroring in the moment. A mix of 60s choreography, fused with some Michael Jackson kicks and high energy, to encapsulate the fighting emotional volatility of the song.”
Toxic Relationships and Euphoria Underwater
Their album's dropping in March, along with a wild video with contrasting emotions. It's all about toxic relationships, apparently. Cue the “I’m on my knees, I’ll never leave” kind of verses. Provocative much? The video ends with some 'sinking euphoria' and underwater color explosions. How very Tarantino meets emotional turbulence.
Oh, did I mention they're off on a US tour soon? Then they plan to sweep through Europe in the summer. Book your tickets now, folks.
Final Verdict
For the Veronicas enthusiasts, brace yourselves for 'GOTHIC SUMMER' and its pop-rock escapades. As for the rest of us, well, let's just say we've got our metalcore calendars marked. But hey, some folks might dig this fusion of melodic punk chaos and pop madness. Who am I to judge? I'm sure you can find it somewhere.
