Violet Grohl’s first two singles, THUM and Applefish, are now on streaming

Violet Grohl has officially released her first two singles, THUM and Applefish.

The musician – who is Dave Grohl’s eldest daughter – unveiled both songs via Bandcamp at the end of last year, and has this week uploaded them to all streaming platforms.

The news arrives alongside the announcement that Violet has penned a record deal with Republic through her imprint, Auroura Records.

“From the moment we met Violet, it was clear that she represents the next generation of artists,” announces Kristina Grossmann, SVP of A&R/Operations at Republic. “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.”

“Violet brings a rare combination of perspective, artistry and reverence for the craft,” adds David Wolter, EVP/Head of A&R. “She understands the history of music, but she’s also pushing it forward. She is the future.”

Earlier this week, Violet also unveiled her track What’s Heaven Without You in tribute to the late, great David Lynch.

“This song was written in David Lynch’s memory alongside two of my favourite collaborators in the world, Persia Numan and Justin Raisen,” she explained. “A few days after the chaos and devastation of the LA 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.”
