Today, Victoria Bigelow shares “The Kids,” the latest single and video from her upcoming project, Songs for No One Vol 2. Due May 10 via Immortal Records and produced by Devan Skaggs, the EP from the musician telling breathtaking stories of heartbreak and bittersweet hope follows last fall’s Vol. 1. The new track from the Georgia-raised, Arizona-based singer and songwriter follows her stunning lead single, “Under the Tree,” which was inspired by the writing of one of her heroes, Sylvia Plath, and her recently released acoustic version of the song, presented by Luck Reunion

“Kids have it really, really hard right now and their pain is​ often invalidated and overlooked,” notes Bigelow. “The world tries to rob them of hope the minute they’re born and it​ often wins. This song is about the forced loss of innocence especially with the rise of AI and​ obsessive internet culture… things can be really dark and this song is just me wanting to talk about it.”

Last month, Bigelow made her Luck Reunion debut, selected as an Artist On The Rise via the Southwest: On The Rise to Luck program. She also performed as an official artist at SXSW, giving a riveting performance during The Line of Best Fit’s Friday evening showcase. Victoria will next perform supporting Lola Kirke on April 30th in Phoenix, AZ at The Rebel Lounge. 


Victoria Bigelow's new self-penned project expands on themes of nostalgia and existentialism from 2023’s Songs For No One Vol. 1. “The EP was recorded with my partner at our home in the desert with the intent of bringing the listener into my sonic interpretation of the Southwest, and the vastness it offers,” notes Victoria. “It touches on the loss of innocence that robs so many of us of our youthful hope, and the full circle moments of love we experience when we return to ourselves and open up to others.” 


The moody yet hopeful music that Victoria creates has drawn comparisons to Weyes Blood, Angel Olsen and Mazzy Star – all of whom the musician has found inspiration from. But her first inspiration to create music came when the Marietta, GA-raised artist’s mother bought her a $10 guitar to celebrate turning twelve. The next day she wrote her first song and, ten years later as a young mother cradling her newborn son in her arms, Bigelow wrote her breakthrough single “Low.” 


Songs For No One Vol. 2 is due May 10 and can be pre-saved / pre-ordered here: https://stem.ffm.to/songsfornoonevol2
