Mesmerizing in its ability to infuse so many genres in a dreamy feeling world, Venus In Arms has sincerely impressed us with her newest single, “Fantasy”. Read on as we break down our thoughts on the track, as well as a background on this talented artist.
Venus In Arms, the moniker of Northern Californian solo artist Olivia, has released her latest single "Fantasy," a maxi-single that's been two years in the making. Olivia, the sole composer and performer on the track, recorded all the instruments and vocals in her home studio, bringing a warmness and rich feeling to the song that was further emphasized by Beau Sorenson during the mixing process. It’s an absolute delight of a listen and we’re urging everyone out there to grab your nicest pair of headphones and lose yourself in the song.
The result is a lush and dreamy track that invites the listener into a sonic landscape filled with ethereal synths, layered vocals, and a driving beat. Olivia's vocals are hauntingly beautiful, floating effortlessly above the swirling instrumentation. The track seamlessly blends elements of dream pop, shoegaze, and electronica to create a sound that is uniquely Venus In Arms. Accompanying the single is a music video shot by award-winning indie film director Jimena Muhlia. Shot across Los Angeles and Joshua Tree, the video perfectly captures the dreamy, otherworldly essence of the song. The six-month process involved a group of generous friends who helped bring Olivia's vision to life. Officially, it’ll be released on April 28th and we’ll make sure to update.
"Fantasy" showcases Olivia's talent as a composer, performer, and visual artist, and we can't wait to see what she has in store for us next. With its vast instrumentation and serene vocal moments, "Fantasy" is a must-listen for fans of all the listed genres above and beyond that.
