VÉRITÉ, “Weekend”
Vérité is a new singer from NYC who is turning heads with her EP Echo. On “Weekend”, a comfortable marriage of pop and dance music, Vérité uses her lower register to dazzle like when we first heard Lorde, but after the minute mark her voice soars into her upper register which will draw in fans of Ariana Grande too. The video up above had me at hello, but the ending is superficial and I’ve seen other (mainly European) videos play this card to their disadvantage. But nonetheless, “Weekend” should be hitbound, it’s just beautiful all around. And it’s enhanced by Penguin Prison’s effortless remix (below) which throws it into a different soundscape without taking anything away from the song. Watch for Vérité and “Weekend”, the song is a creeper and a keeper! I would love to see Vérité play on a double bill with fellow local singer S V Ē!
