"Violets are Blue" by SKYND boasts an eerily catchy melody that is based on the true story of the infamous killer Luka Magnotta. From the very beginning, the atmospheric and haunting vibe immediately hooks the listener, making it a true sonic gem that stands out in today's musical landscape. The song's blend of dark undertones and infectious rhythm creates a mesmerizing auditory experience that lingers long after the track ends, leaving a lasting impression on the listener.
However, the music video, although visually striking in some aspects, struggles to match the allure of the music. The visual narrative feels notably sparse, with the majority of the visuals taking place inside of a photo-booth. The actor portraying Magnotta confined to the photo-booth offers little in the way of dynamic performance or engaging storytelling, which is a shame considering the captivating music that accompanies it. Meanwhile, Skynd herself appears standing mostly still with a simple background while wearing a dress that, to be honest, makes her resemble a burrito rather than complementing the song's aesthetic. The dress, which is supposed to add to the song's dark and eerie vibe, instead comes across as silly and out of place.
The lack of movement and creepy visuals leaves the overall presentation feeling empty and underdeveloped. The music video fails to provide a cohesive narrative that ties in with the song's theme, leaving the viewer feeling disconnected from the music. The sparse visuals and lack of storytelling make it feel like a missed opportunity to create a truly immersive experience that would complement the song's dark and haunting vibe.
My final thoughts: while the track's eerie catchiness is undeniably its strong suit, the accompanying video falls short with its minimalist and puzzling imagery. Fans of the music may find themselves wishing that the visual representation was as captivating and thought-provoking as the sound itself. With a bit more attention to detail and a more cohesive narrative, the music video could have been a truly unforgettable experience that would have elevated the song to new heights. As it stands, the music video feels like an afterthought, a mere accompaniment to the song rather than a true partner in creating a captivating experience.
