VIAVE – The Night Shift
The Cool Neon Glow: VIAVE’s “The Night Shift” Illuminates Spring Nights
With “The Night Shift,” VIAVE, the creative force from Tallinn, steps into the limelight. This soft afrobeat-based electronic pop track, ladled with neon-lit vibrancy, serves as the third single from her EP “THE SPARK DIED ON SUNDAY.” The tune is a delicate balance of alternative pop with commercial appeal, echoing influences from both Flume and Addison Rae.
VIAVE’s choice to blend descriptive storytelling with an inviting sound makes this track stand apart. Reflecting on fleeting connections—the kind that disappear like whispers at dawn—the narrative is both vulnerable and empowering. “This song is definitely more easy-to-listen-to than what I usually produce. I wanted to make something simple and radio-friendly, yet fresh and exciting,” explains VIAVE.
The music video, which she directed herself, is a visual feast that evolves from calm to chaos, painting VIAVE‘s emotional landscape through flickering strobe lights and fervent colors. With its hybrid of genres and alluring visuals, “The Night Shift” offers a unique auditory and visual experience.
