‘Violet Sunset’ crashes through you from the first moment with an epic drum opening. The guitars add a sultry haziness to the drums. There is a great movement to the melody that gets you into the raw feeling of the track. There is a velveteen feeling to the music that wraps around the rock tones. It is a wonderfully passionate melody that you can’t stop listening to. Seriously though, those drums are something else and really hook you.

Over the melody is Danae’s vocals which bring a satin vibe to the music. You can feel the primal emotions in her voice as she draws you into the night. There is a pure energy to her vocals which are enhanced by the harmonisations later in the track. You can feel the heat of the experience laid out in the lyrics through her vocals. While the melody gets you hooked, her vocals smother you in the excitement and passion of the track.

Passion, primal energy and drums that will not stop all make up the epic single ‘Violet Sunset’ by Laura Danae. The energetic drums hook you in the opening before the guitars fly. Danae’s vocals have a raw and passionate vibe that capture the heat and excitement of being with someone possibly for the first time.
