<p><span style="font-weight: 400">New England-based singer-songwriter </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/vianavalentine/?hl=en"><b>Viana Valentine</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> swirls in a dream-pop landscape with her new lead single, “</span><a href="https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/vianavalentine/hella-depressed"><b>Hella Depressed</b></a><b>,</b><span style="font-weight: 400">” out now across streaming services. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“</span><b>Hella Depressed</b><span style="font-weight: 400">” introduces listeners to a new side of </span><b>Viana</b><span style="font-weight: 400">&#8216;s sound, blending pop, rock, folk, and roots elements together to create an emotional, yet sonically soothing, listening experience. In “</span><b>Hella Depressed</b><span style="font-weight: 400">,” </span><b>Viana Valentine </b><span style="font-weight: 400">is vulnerable against the melodic escape of the track’s piano backbone, supported by warm guitar undertones and a blissful saxophone solo in its production. The new release comes ahead of</span><b> Viana Valentine</b><span style="font-weight: 400">’s debut studio project, </span><a href="https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/vianavalentine/fever-dream"><b><i>Fever Dream</i></b></a><i><span style="font-weight: 400">,</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400"> available June 2, 2023.</span></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><b>Viana</b><span style="font-weight: 400">’s songwriting has been a source of strength and resilience in her life, helping her to navigate through the difficult seasons that come with being human. “</span><b>Hella Depressed</b><span style="font-weight: 400">” documents those raw, intrusive feelings, all while embracing the listener who feels similarly. With her latest release, </span><b>Viana Valentine</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> is ready to share her story with the world and demonstrate how music can be a powerful tool for healing, comfort and understanding. A stripped down version of “</span><b>Hella Depressed</b><span style="font-weight: 400">” is set to arrive May 22, and the accompanying music video is due for release later this summer. </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400">“‘</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">Hella Depressed’ is a song to sway to, reflecting on the ways that I work through depression or self doubt in general. ‘For just one second I can clear my mind, gonna find myself for the hundredth time.’ I talk about why my head is spinning and then what I try to do to silence the noise. It’s a pretty simple concept in the way it plays out in the song, but it’s a forever cycle and forever struggle of mine. </span></i></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400">The groovy and mid tempo vibe of the song overall is a perfect counterpart to the mental circles I’m spinning in while I’m going through these struggles. The lyrical theme of the song and the music that goes alongside it balance each other out in that way.” &#8211; </span></i><b><i>Viana Valentine</i></b></p></blockquote>

<p><a href="https://linktr.ee/vianasingsthesongs"><b>Viana Valentine</b></a> <span style="font-weight: 400">has been singing songs for most of her life: Debuting on small stages as a freckled, teenage angst-filled and smooth-voiced Sicilian girl, she most recently punched the clock as frontwoman for the pop-rock band, </span><b><i>Royal Street</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400">. After the band’s separation, </span><b>Viana Valentine</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> emerged as a solo artist, while holding closely to her roots of raw instrumentation, finding herself craving vintage guitar tones, smooth piano parts recorded in her kitchen for a real band feel with the addition of some dreamy production for her latest release. </span></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><b>Viana Valenti</b><strong>n</strong><span style="font-weight: 400"><strong>e</strong>&#8216;s solo projects began with six singles and several music videos, dreamy pop dripping with saccharine sarcasm and charring honesty. Inspired by and for fans of Maggie Rogers, Olivia Rodrigo, Lizzy McAlpine, Lorde, Muna, Phoebe Bridgers, Paramore, and just maybe a little Taylor Swift (Midnights era).
