Josh Oliva’s creative outlet ARTEMIS has release ‘Black and Blue’, an anthem of frustration and empowerment, blending raw emotion with electrifying energy.
The song’s lyrics navigate themes of self-doubt and breaking free from old habits, making the song both personal and universally relatable. This contrast is heightened by the 80s music influences, where vibrant synths and refined production elevate the track’s impact opposing the darker meaning behind the song.
A standout on the live set, ‘Black and Blue’ channels its emotional core into a cathartic burst of sound, especially in the climactic transition to the final chorus. The song was originally ARTEMIS’ first release, almost three years ago. Now with more advanced production and instrumentation fit with the song’s message of reclaiming control, making it a definitive moment in ARTEMIS’ discography. Josh Oliva’s signature guitar-driven sound and heartfelt lyricism shine brightly, offering an empowering escape that’s as introspective as it is exhilarating. This reimagined release solidifies ARTEMIS as a name to watch.
