Violet Love wrestles through pain on new EP 'Destined to Fail'

Michigan-based artist Autumn Granados, under the moniker Violet Love, delivers a strikingly candid and musically adventurous statement with her new EP 'Destined to Fail'. Across its three tracks, the release is a meditation on vulnerability, trauma, and the tension between introspection and explosive catharsis.

Opening with 'Serpent', the EP immediately establishes its immersive tone. Granados’ voice navigates a delicate balance between fragility and intensity, weaving through sparse guitar lines, glitchy electronic flourishes, and steady percussive undercurrents. The song’s haunted mood and lyrical transparency sets a confessional framework that continues to thread through the EP.

'Apple' heightens the urgency, merging vulnerability with rock-forward bravado. Twanging guitars intertwine with brisk, almost confrontational percussion as she channels pain into kinetic energy. Shades of 90s alt-rock emerge as it plays, grounding the EP in a lineage of emotionally-driven guitar music without losing its modern sensibility.

The closing track 'Artist' exemplifies her command of dynamic contrast. Dreamy guitar motifs evolve into a powerful, cathartic surge, mirroring the lyrical journey from self-examination to declaration.

Across the EP, Violet Love showcases a fearlessness in confronting inner complexity. 'Destined to Fail' is a testament to the power of emotional transparency in music; a compact yet potent exploration of struggle, resilience, and the alchemy of turning personal turmoil into art.
