Epica’s Simone Simons has premiered a new video for her new song “R.E.D.” This track is from the singer’s new solo album “Vermillion,” which will be released on August 23. Simons and her longtime collaborator Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon) commented:
“‘R.E.D.’ deals with the rise of artificial intelligence, imagining a future where the creation begins to outpace the creator. It reflects on the A.I.’s growing self-awareness and its unfulfilled desire to experience emotions, something that its synthetic nature makes impossible to ever realize. The song also looks at the double-edged nature of technological advancements and the profound existential questions that are becoming ever more important to address.”
