Fe Salomon’s newest song is an absolute beaut in many ways: it mixes emotive vocals with an avant-garde alternative-pop production, in which Fe additionally delivers a nuanced stylish follow-up shrouded in shadowy mystique through the song’s evolving story of mourning innocence.
With an early demo originally featured in the 2013 film ‘Complicity’, a United States indie film that explores a seemingly innocuous teenage party spiral out of control, Fe’s track similarly touches on the theme of adolescent abandonment; whilst adding an extra layer of her own dwelling of the loss of innocence and the growing burdens of responsibility that ultimately comes with adulthood.
“‘Polka Dot’ is about mourning innocence,” Fe explains about the song, “and the darkness that’s picked up along the way, with an ‘up yours’ sarcastic tone, and not wanting to grow old.”
The visual aspect of ‘Polka Dot’ is a nod to the lyrics’ dark coming-of-age ruminations, and takes inspiration from Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (who is notably renowned for use of polka dots in her work), the video’s surrealist nature shines through the choreography of real childhood images of Fe from the 80s & 90s that were cut from old home movies and family albums.
Polka Dot comes off the release of Fe’s debut album – due out for release in June.
