By: BWW News Desk Nov. 21, 2014
Swedish-Belgian avant-pop duo Victoria+Jean recently announced the release of their new EP, V+J- set to drop December 1st!
The pair have quickly come to prominence in their native Europe as a result of their undeniably catchy pop melodies, complete with Victoria's unique, oft-raw vocals, Jean's sensual guitar & a knack for heartbreakingly relatable lyrics. Hot on the heels of their debut full-length album, Divine Love, the V+J EP comes complete with four deliciously edgy oeuvres- featuring arousing, rock & roll guitar licks one moment & poignant ballads of longing & lust the next. The musical chemistry between the two is utterly indisputable.
Victoria+Jean have today revealed the accompanying video for EP cut "Why Won't You," directed by acclaimed director Christophe Thockler. As Christophe elaborates, "when Victoria+Jean asked me to choose a track to work with, I was immediately blown away by the powerful energy of 'Why Won't You,' and fire immediately came to mind. This piece of music was a perfect playground for me to play with rhythm, stop motion fast-paced sequences, and of course, onirism & symbolism." Check out the gorgeously striking PureVolume-premiered "Why Won't You" video!Divine Love & V+J are a culmination of Victoria+Jean's lives: constantly moving between cities & flights- from London to Stockholm, Paris to Brussels, and finally New York. The two met in Brussels & instantly formed a musical bond that would result in the creation of the Victoria+Jean duo. Stay tuned for more news from Victoria+Jean coming soon!
