The Veronicas slow things down on Life of the Party, the latest single from their upcoming fourth studio album ‘Godzilla’.
The album’s second single, following its title track, is a haunting ballad, capturing the essence of the end of the party when the room empties and you’re left all along.
They sing:” When the lights come on and you’re all alone…everybody wants to be the life of the party / But I just want to find somebody.”
Produced by Alex Wildwood, Drew Pearson and James Angus, a music video comes directed by Ribal Hosn, featuring The Veronicas on a night out with guest vocalist Allday.
The Veronicas, featuring identical twin sisters Jessica and Lisa Origliasso, have released a string of standalone singles following their self-titled 2014 release, and they’re now set to drop those tracks along with new cuts across two LPs.
Beginning May 28, the girls will drop ‘Godzilla’, the first of two albums, which features “distorted guitars, screaming, and 80s Synths”, according to the band.
Led by title track Godzilla, the album also contains previous releases In My Blood and The Only High. During promo for the former, The Veronicas confirmed they had worked with Cathy Dennis on music for a planned “electro-fused” album, which never materialised. It’s yet to be confirmed whether these tracks made the cut.
The duo will follow the release with a second collection, ‘Human’, on July 2, which promises to explore their abilities as “vulnerable songwriters,” according to a press release.
According to Jessica and Lisa, ‘Human’ was originally planned as their fourth album, but was bumped to make way for ‘Godzilla’, which will see The Veronicas assume their “public alter egos”.
