PSA: This video-single isn’t actually about the popular seafood dish Calamari but it is a lyrical exhibition loaded with effortless wordplay and relevant content. It’s been a number of months since the collaborative project “DRUG-POLITIX” was released by Brooklyn [via NC] emcee Precyce Politix and Grammy nominated producer D.R.U.G.S Beats, they’ve both returned after a short break with another well-crafted concept visual for one of the most acclaimed songs on the album “Calamari,” paired with the guilt ridden dark single “Pagers” which brings to reality the consequences of being in the wrong type of business with a conscience. If you didn’t hear “DRUG-POLITIX” on the original release date it’s available now via Bandcamp, iTunes and Spotify.

HEY VIOLET RELEASE NEW SINGLE — “BETTER BY MYSELF”
“Better By Myself” captures the duality inherent in feeling invincible in solitude because you don’t need anyone, but recognizing that perhaps being totally alone isn’t necessarily the best path forward. “It’s about being in an unhealthy relationship and having the courage to leave, but realizing maybe you’re isolating a little much,” says Hey Violet frontwoman Rena Lovelis. “I think we need to fall in love with ourselves before we fall in love with anybody else and that’s why the song sounds so celebratory. It’s about finding that happy medium between ‘I don’t need anyone,’ which tends to be a defense mechanism, and being truly okay with yourself.”

Russell Louder shares emotive second single Light Of The Moon
“Lyrically, Light of the Moon draws on the experience of seeing someone’s life become engulfed by an abusive relationship,” Russell says of the track’s inspiration. “This is a reality that, in recent years, has shown itself to be scarily universal, yet I notice that people are still quite afraid to address it, even more so when they’re personally confronted with it. There’s a dissonance there that I find very unsettling. I think, subconsciously, I was mirroring that dissonance in the production process, as the musical relationship between tension and release is a strong motif throughout the song.”
