Seeing Violet doesn’t wait for permission to tear into the fabric of the modern world on their latest track Billionaire. It starts with an Orwellian spoken word segment that feels like a transmission from a dystopian future that happens to be our current reality and it sets a heavy stage for what follows. This is a wake up call that demands your full attention because the stakes are too high to look away and the message is far too urgent to ignore.
Once that guitar riff kicks in the air changes and the song transforms into a hard rock powerhouse with the kind of grit you’d expect from early Rage Against the Machine. Seeing Violet manages to keep the energy high and the frustration focused so every note feels like a hammer strike against corporate greed and the walls of systemic injustice.
Billionaire is the kind of anthem that reminds us why rock music matters in the first place because it gives a voice to the voiceless and turns individual anger into a collective fire. Seeing Violet has delivered a monumental piece of protest music and it serves as a reminder that the fight for justice is never really over so we might as well turn the volume up and join the fray.
