Violet returns to Naive for new solo EP 'Espírito'

Violet is returning to her own Naive imprint with a new solo EP ‘Espírito’. It will be released on April 23.

The title track has been released this week, a dancefloor-ready track that uses drums as melodies, painting a wonderfully percussive portrait of an artist ready to return to the club.

‘Espírito’ marks Violet’s first solo EP on Naive since ‘Togetherness’ in 2017.

As well as three new tracks, Eris Drew has joined in for a remix of the third track ‘Psyche’, transforming the bouncing trance of the original into complex psychedelic beats that explode in moments of dancefloor euphoria.

Violet has also recently released an album on Naive’s sub-label Naivety, ‘Archives 2012-2020’. 25 percent of all sales on the album will be donated to SOS Racismo, a Portuguese antiracist charity.
