Dutch composer, producer, vocalist and gifted songwriter CHARLOTTE WESSELS has released her new and fourth single, “Venus Rising”, from her stunning full-length, Tales From Six Feet Under Vol II.
CHARLOTTE WESSELS on “Venus Rising”:
“Venus Rising was inspired by Botticelli’s painting The Birth Of Venus. Even though she was modeled after the ideals of her time, I take comfort from the fact that she never had to cover up or uncover, be louder or more soft spoken, grow bigger or smaller, but just rises from the waves and comes into power unaffected by expectations, regulations and injustices that reign in the real world. We recorded the video for the song last week, and I couldn’t stop thinking about the brave women of Iran, and how they’re fighting for their most basic human rights at this very moment. It is heartbreaking and in my mind the song is dedicated to them. #MahsaAmini”
