August 24, 2023 – Brooklyn, NY – PRONOUN is BACK; the artist moniker of Alyse Vellturo, has released a new one two punch single + video for “
SLAP ME IN THE FACE”. It’s her first release in over two years, following the release of the ‘OMG I MADE IT’ EP in 2021.
“SLAP ME IN THE FACE is about a crazy night in with someone that turned into an internal joke of what if the world was literally fucking you,” explains Vellturo on the lyrics of the song. “ It’s about wanting a better situation but giving in and getting stuck in a moment where everything doesn’t feel horrible.This song poured out of me in one sitting; written, recorded, and produced in one day. The songs I feel the most about, always seem to come this way.”
The accompanying video shows Vellturo being absolutely pelted by dodgeballs coming at her at every angle.
“Given the title, I always imagined getting somehow slapped in the face in slow motion,” Vellturo says. “When putting a mood board together for the new PRONOUN era I was reminded of one of my favorite scenes in a movie. I <3 Huckabees is a film I could watch everyday until the end of time and discover a new easter egg. At one point Mark Wahlberg and Jason Schwartzmen end up on a log in the park together taking turns thwacking each other in the face with a red rubber ball until they feel a moment of nothingness. They call it “the ball thing”. It fit how I was feeling perfectly when making this song. From that moment I knew it needed to be me standing in a studio getting absolutely destroyed with red dodgeballs.”
