Hey Violet releases angsty new track, Uncomplicated for Valentine's Day

What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than cranking up the new track Uncomplicated from Hey Violet. The band released the angsty new track today. Rena Lovelis comments about the new song,

“This song was a way to call out my own distorted thinking in relationships… a sort of reckoning for what I chase and why I chase it. I remember when I was 16 years old and I was dating someone who was just a total sweetheart, and I was bored out of my mind. It really had nothing to do with that person; it was the volatility that Nia and I grew up witnessing that then transgressed into my relationships later on.”

“Uncomplicated was initially written by us, our friend Robbie Hiser, and an artist friend for their project, but we ended up loving the song and asked if we could have it for this album. The lyrics really feel like a harsh spotlight on my thinking and we thought it was an important part of the album as a whole. It sounds pretty flirty at first, just like how it usually begins when you start to like someone. The pre-chorus is a release, like you start to open up to someone or maybe you see one another sad and it’s this sweet moment of emotional nakedness with your person, and then the chorus comes in like a freight train to sonically portray the ways I’d create problems in relationships out of my own insecurities. The last chorus has a particular lyric change that felt like a perfectly imperfect summation of what’s really happening beneath the surface of the rest of the lyrics. We didn’t want it to just be a song that glorifies toxicity, but, instead, one where the protagonist actually looks at their own patterns of behavior and goes “Wow. This actually has very little to do with the other person and is the product of my own inner turmoil.”

This song is one that you will definitely have on repeat as it captures their fun spirit and captivating style of modern alt pop rock. You will be singing along in no time. Check out the track by heading over HERE or listen below:
