Today, Violet Grohl has released the evocative video for her debut single, “THUM,” which is out now on Republic Records through her imprint, Auroura Records. The video, directed by Nikki Milan Houston and shot on a Super 8 and 16mm, matches the track’s loud, raw, and emotionally explosive sound. Upon its initial release, Rolling Stone called the track “a two-minute blast about struggling to break a bad habit,” while Consequence praised its “cinematic feel, highlighted by Violet’s velvety vocals.”
Last month, Violet released “What’s Heaven Without You,” which is a haunting track written in the aftermath of the Altadena fires in Los Angeles that was inspired by David Lynch. FLOOD Magazine said it “features an atmospheric instrumental bolstered by a marching snare drum and ethereal synths,” while Alternative Press said it “shows Grohl’s voice drifting over an enigmatic instrumental as she grapples with an internal monologue, feeling trapped between devotion and self-protection.”
A division of Universal Music Group, the world’s leading music company, Republic Records has been recognized by Billboard as the industry’s number one label over the last decade. It is home to an all-star roster of multi-platinum and award-winning legends such as Anitta, Ariana Grande, Billy Porter, Conan Gray, Cynthia Erivo, Daniel Caesar, Eddie Vedder, Florence + the Machine, Glass Animals, Jelly Roll and other talented acts.
