Violet Grohl, the daughter of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, has signed with Republic Records. The deal was made through her imprint Auroura Records.
Kristina Grossmann, SVP of A&R/operations at Republic Records, said the following:
“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, also commented:
“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.”
With this news, Violet has also given a wide release to her songs “THUM” and “Applefish.” Those tracks were previously exclusive to Bandcamp. A third single exclusive to that service, “What’s Heaven Without You,” was recently released as well. Violet said the following about that track:
“This song was written in David Lynch’s memory alongside two of my favorite collaborators in the world, Persia Numan and Justin Raisen. A few days after the chaos and devastation of the L.A. 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.”
