Sweet Imperfections is the musical moniker of artist Bri Schillings. Setting out on a mission to raise awareness about the devastating effects humans are having on our world and its climate, her latest single “Ignorance is Violence” will certainly get you thinking. Written after the songwriter witnessed the devastating wildfires in California, she shares, “On top of experiencing firsthand the hottest summer recorded, breathing smoke from the fires, we felt a weight of frustration and recognized our responsibility to take a stand. We had recently watched Greta Thunberg’s documentary “I am Greta” which inspired us to use a clip from one of her speeches during the outro of the song.”
As well as the powerful message behind “Ignorance is Violence”, the track also makes an impact sonically, with Schillings’ stunning vocals soaring atop celestial melodies, and twinkling guitar strings. Crashing percussion builds to create an epic atmosphere, while echoing voices from a choir chant “ignorance is violence” making sure you hear them loud and clear.
Hoping that this song may lead to some form of change, whether that be big or small, Sweet Imperfections are doing their part, while encouraging us to join the movement.
