This Valentine's Day, the USA-based enigmatic duo Vazum released "Pretty Brutal", the title track from its forthcoming album, due later this year. "Pretty Brutal" is a hypnotic dance track unmasking the terrors of superficial culture and obsession. Sung by vocalist Emily Sturm, the opening lyrics 'in the mirror you hate what you see, in the filter is who you wanna be' set the tone for the rest of the song. "Pretty Brutal" is the first release from Vazum since last year's highly acclaimed album Western Violence. The "Pretty Brutal" track is released in anticipation of the duo's 2025 UK tour. Link
