New Signing Alert : Vera Sola

June 28, 2023

WE SIGNED VERA SOLA. 

Welcome aboard Vera Sola, we are excited for what's to come!

Vera Sola returns with new single ‘Desire Path’, her first new music since 2019. 

Vera Sola has never fit any mold or followed in any footsteps—not even those of her own making. Her newest release blows out the walls of what she’d established before. Where debut album Shades was made almost entirely alone, Desire Path was co-produced with Kenneth Pattengale, and recorded in Nashville with over a dozen contributing musicians. It marks a dramatic shift from the shadowy, enclosed nature of her first recordings, to a sweeping new sonic landscape. As a result, her unique vision and sound is now fully realised with renewed focus on her remarkable voice. This most recent effort proves that she remains “an utterly singular talent."

Speaking of the track Vera Sola says:

“I wrote this after screwing up a Brenda Lee song I’d been teaching myself to play one insomniac’s morning. The twisting chords laid out a story of awakening to compounded delusion, denial, despair.

The simplest way to describe it is a descent, or even better, an ascent into madness. Imagine a 60’s ballad, aggravated.

A scattershot of key changes and ratcheting modulations, I knew from first blush it required very specific strings. 13 violins drifting, moment by moment, more and more out of tune only for a madman’s synth to break through the soundscape, take over the melody and run it into the ground. The string section was the last thing we recorded in person before lockdown.

It’s the centerpiece of something big and bold which has been gestating for a long, long time.”
