Brazilian singer and songwriter Violet Orlandi marks a striking shift with her bold new album, Birdeater.
The ten-track LP threads together fragility, ominous tones, and a sense of personal evolution as both an artist and a human being navigating her own internal landscape.
Produced by her husband and creative collaborator Ricardo Gifford, the record pushes back against the glossy sheen of modern production.
Instead, Birdeater leans into live instrumentation, texture, and the authenticity of real performances. “We weren’t looking for perfection, we were looking for rawness and authenticity.” That ethos bleeds into every corner of the album, capturing the kind of imperfections that many artists spend hours trying to edit out.
Across its cinematic arc, the album pulls from the surrealism and psychological edge of cult films such as The Exorcist, Hellraiser, and Alice in Wonderland.
Many of these songs were born during late nights writing alone, with films playing softly in the background, lending each track a creeping, visual intensity.
At its core, Birdeater is about reclaiming power in moments of suffering. Violet reflects on the idea that pain is inevitable, but the way we respond to it is ours to choose, explaining, “The last line of Birdeater is ‘this prison cell has a wide open door,’ and that’s what it’s all about.”
The result is an album that doesn’t just explore darkness, it transforms it.
