CODE RED is the title track from the new album by LITTLE VIOLET. It debuted on the iTunes Jazz Album charts at #4 and topped every major Electro Swing playlist on Spotify since. It's out now here: idol.lnk.to/codered

Out now on Limited Edition Vinyl! Get yours here: freshlysqueezedmusic.bandcamp.com/album/code-red

Quality song-writing and the brilliant musicality of the productions are what sets the album apart while the vintage-influenced, retro pop singles from SILENT MOVIE to TAKING YOU WITH ME put it alongside contemporaries like Caro Emerald or platinum-selling label-mates Swing Republic.

LYRICS:

Each days a drag
The moments lag
Can't seem to find peace of mind
When I'm killing time wish I could hit rewind

Check my phone
Feel so alone
Itching to get myself out
but I'm just stuck on this never ending roundabout

Trial and error, I don't mean to scare ya
But it is too late you see
And now you must go on without me
Save yourself
Find someone else
Cos i'm a ticking time bomb and I'm about to blow

I've hit code red
Need to find a way out of my own head
Nothing's safe for me in here
Said that it was for my own protection
But how can I trust my own reflection?
Code red
Who's coming to my rescue?

Said I was beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside, inside, inside, inside

Said I was beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside, inside, inside, inside

So close to the edge
Here's where I make my pledge
Willing to let myself fall
If it will make it stop, that never ending call

It's fight or flight
Which do I sacrifice
As I come up slowly for air
Reaching out hopelessly to my despair

Trial and error, I don't mean to scare ya
But it is too late you see
And now you must go on without me
Save yourself
Find someone else
Cos i'm a ticking time bomb and I'm about to blow

I've hit code red
Need to find a way out of my own head
Nothing's safe for me in here
Said that it was for my own protection
but how can I trust my own reflection?
Code red
Who's coming to my rescue?

Said I was beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside, inside, inside, inside

Said I was beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside, inside, inside, inside

Will I ever just, ever just
Ever just figure it out?
Figure it out what's going on inside my head
I guess you never did, never did
Never did figure me out
So I say this for your own protection

Code red
I need to find a way out of my own head
Nothing's safe for me in here
I said that it was for my own protection
But how can I trust my own reflection?
Code red
Who's coming to my rescue?
