London-based, Milan-born singer-songwriter and producer Veronica, has gained a reputation for her ability to bewitch audiences with her live performances. She has supported he likes of Lina Makoul, Michael Malarkey, and David Keenan, using her unique blend of spirituality and emotion to present her story and convey her personality. The artist is self produced, carving her sound and challenging the male-dominated status quo. This also allows her to adapt from simple live setups to full-fledged bands backing her talents.
The latest single from Veronica ‘The Lake Of The Dead’ tells the story of a lake that calls people to give their lives to it when their time comes. A heartwarming piano and echoey percussion make up the majority of the instrumentation, allowing Veronica’s intricate harmonies and captivating storytelling to shine through. Angelic and ethereal, her performance grabs your attention and refuses to let go, enticing you into the lyricism and transporting you into the story.
Veronica explains, “I wrote this about this song about a weird dream I had: me and my family lived in a village where death happened in a peculiar way. When it's your time to die, you feel it and you have to go to the lake and let yourself drown. Everyone was ok with this but one day it was my turn and I didn't want to go.
My family couldn't understand why and just said "goodbye" to me, after moments of desperation I decided to surrender, and let myself go and as soon as I died I was transported towards a white light and I was born again. I was very haunted by this dream so I stayed up all night and wrote and produced this song in four hours, building it on the piano riff that had been stuck in my head for days.”
