According to Blabbermouth.net, Kristina Grossmann, SVP of A&R/operations at Republic Records, said: “From the moment we met Violet, it was clear that she represents the next generation of artists. The music is immediate, intentional and her voice holds a rare duality. She is unapologetically cool and is a fearless female voice. We couldn't be more excited to help bring her vision and this album to life."

David Wolter, EVP/head of A&R at Republic Records, added: "Violet brings a rare combination of perspective, artistry, and reverence for the craft. She understands the history of music, but she's also pushing it forward. She is the future."

Violet has has aleady released two tracks through her imprint, THUM and Applefish, as well as What's Heaven Without You, a tribute to the late David Lynch.

She wrote the track with producer Justin Raisen and Persia Numan, the daughter of Gary Numan.

"This song was written in David Lynch's memory alongside two of my favourite collaborators in the world, Persia Numan and Justin Raisen," said Violet of the song. "A few days after the chaos and devastation of the LA fires, we came together in our sadness and grief and let it pour out into this song. We hope you can find some resonance in it. The impact he left on art is truly magical. We miss you, David."

The rocker, who was born on 14th January, added: "And we might have a whole new record of f•••ing songs that we just finished the other day. I dunno!"
