carolesdaughter – Violent (Arista Records/Sony 
Music)
Release Date: Out Now
Growing up as the youngest of 10
kids in a strict Mormon family can go one of two ways and, fortunately for us,
San Diego singer-songwriter carolesdaughter went down the rebellion route….and
then some. ‘Violent’ starts with a lonely and forlorn guitar melody that sounds
like a long-lost Cobain demo before a more contemporary beat joins in and you
realise this is absolutely a sad-banger with emo-pop roots. The blend of Robyn
and Angie in terms of vibe makes this immediate in terms of hook but juxtapose
that with the goth imagery in the video and the passive aggressive deadpan
delivery of the lyric “don’t make me get violent” switches this whole thing on
its head. Definitely an artist to watch out for, whatever her mum Carole might
think.
