The Veronicas return with a vengeance and a twisted ballet music video for their gritty new song, "You Ruin Me," the first new release in seven years and the lead track lifted from Aussie pop sibling duo's upcoming self-titled third studio album, due later this year through Sony Music after splitting with their longtime label Warner Bros.
It's been a decade since the twins cracked the music industry and have been absent from Australian airwaves for five years, but now the sisters Jessica and Lisa Origliasso - the 29-year-old Brisbane born-and-raised twins who go by the name The Veronicas are back, and kicked off their long-awaited comeback with tortured ballad "You Ruin Me." It's a semi-orchestral, hate-drenched intense breakup ballad which comes from an altogether different place than the Origliasso twins' 2007 catchy electo-pop hit "Untouched," but it's a great reminder of both their songwriting and vocal prowess.
Written with APRA Award winning production team DNA Songs, "You Ruin Me" is a musical statement of The Veronicas' maturity. The song concentrates on the Australian sisters' vocal talents, it's built on keys and fleshed-out with a lush orchestral production, and there's not a single beat to be found. Talking about the inspiration behind the song, Jess revealed to the Courier Mail: "We are in such a great place now as far as being artists and being comfortable as women, and this song was the last piece of the puzzle to say goodbye to the broken parts of ourselves."
The dramatic video, inspired by Darren Aronofsky's dark 2010 feature film "Black Swan." In true rock star form, the raven haired duo sit in a fierce black car with their hit song playing on the radio while wearing identical white framed sunglasses and a slick of rouge, as they pull up outside the State Theatre at Sydney, with a neon lit sign saying "Tonight The Veronicas - Private Show." The twins perform the song on stage while a twisted back story about a jealous ballerinas and a particularly creepy and unscupulous dance instructor unfolds. It's weird, twisted and strangely beautiful. Kind of like the song. Watch the twisted ballet drama below.
