Dark synth-pop artist CARV.R has teamed up with sequined siren Casey Desmond for their brand new single “Struck.” The haunting new track and elf-goth inspired music video are premiering now, exclusive on PopWrapped. The song will be available on streaming services starting tomorrow, Friday, December 10th, and is available for pre-save now here: https://bfan.link/struck. “Struck” is available for purchase at carvr.bandcamp.com.
“‘Struck’ is what we consider to be the silver lining from a time when both Casey and I were going through the loss of friends,” shares CARV.R. “For me, ‘Struck’ became a reminder to always live life as fully as I can on my own terms because it is fleeting and fragile. Casey was able to direct the energy of her own loss in a positive way through her heart wrenching lyrics. I am grateful that her performance complimented my production beautifully and we were able to come together and transmute our experiences into this collaboration.”
Adds Casey: “Without a doubt, every one of us has tasted the flavor of betrayal. In the case of ‘Struck,’ it’s the guttural, abusive, and heart-wrenching kind. The lyrics invoke the essence of deep personal experience while remaining relatively ambiguous and socially applicable. When one is facing down the reality of the death of a relationship, they must do so through forgiveness or risk a lifetime of the aftermath. It’s at the crossroad that we battle our own consciousness and morals.”
