The Veronicas // You Ruin Me

Somewhere in the back of our minds, we seem to recall The Veronicas a number of years ago…so long that actually, we don’t remember the music just the name. However now we have the lead single from their forthcoming self-titled album, and it goes by the name of You Ruin Me.

Melodically, it’s a piano driven track with strings entering just as the vocals start with the chorus. Vocally, it’s full of heartfelt emotion and feel very much like a break-up song with opening lyrics Job well done/ standing ovation. Yeah you got what you wanted/ I guess you won. Looking at it as a whole, the song is minimalistic but that lends to the vulnerability that runs through it.

The question is in a music scene that seems, at time, saturated with ballads, will this stand out? Only time will tell but apart from that, it’s not a bad wee track.

Rating: 5/5
