| VEI - Rolling On You Romeo |
Release Date: 27th January 2017
Now I know it’s early in the year
but I genuinely think we may have one of the big talents of 2017 on our hands
here. London based artist VEI emerges as a fresh, original and highly talented
performer in the pop world when there are so many floating around in the
mediocre pool never really turning a head. This forthcoming single, ‘Rolling On
You Romeo’, is likened to Kate Nash, Bjork and Lily Allen in the PR blurb but
for me this is more like a British version of Christine & The Queens or PJ
Harvey but with a more playful spirit. The plucked strings and trudging bass
are soon joined by VEI’s delicate vocal trills and mournful Cello and then
comes the sass. Oh the sass. Sure, some of this comes from the video which
shows VEI in uber confident dance routine form but the vocal performance alone
you can glean soul and pop savvy far beyond what you might expect of someone at
this stage in her career. I can just hear this on the BBC 6Music playlist,
pumping out of Later…. or drifting out from various tents at festivals this
summer. I hate the phrase but VEI is certainly ‘one to
watch’.
