What are the different ways that insomnia affects one? It affected the person behind War Violet with ideas, philosophies, existential questions and brought forth “Different Formations.”
“Different Formations” is NYC musician and songwriter War Violet aka Jummy Aremu’s hauntingly introspective musical ode to the earth that delves towards understanding the essence of human existence and our relationship with the world around us. Jummy Aremu’s husky, hazily sung vocals effortlessly capture a sense of half-awake introspection, as if she’s floating between dreams and reality.
The song’s instrumentation is a mesmerizing blend of acoustic guitar, glimmering strings, and flowing piano, creating an atmospheric whimsical mood. The gentle strumming of the guitar sets the tone, while the shimmering strings and piano add layers of depth and emotion to the composition.
Lyrically, “Different Formations” invites listeners to reflect on the decay of our planet amid the chaos of the world. Aremu’s melancholic yet thought-provoking words draw attention to the beauty found in both the mundane and the grand aspects of life despite the inner work constantly done inside.
At its core, this song is an exploration of our search for meaning in a world marked by uncertainty and change. It’s a reminder that even in the face of decay, there is beauty to be discovered, and that introspection can lead to a deeper understanding of our place in the universe.
War Violet’s “Different Formations” is a masterfully crafted piece of music that not only captivates the senses but also stimulates the mind. Keep an eye out for her future releases, as this single promises a captivating musical journey ahead.
