VC Pines ft: Josie Man - Made 2 Luv (Single)

Fresh off the back of his highly-praised singles “BREAK” and “need 2 breathe” earlier this year, VC Pines is gearing up to announce a new EP ‘Viole(n)t Colour’ on April 10th, previewed by the mesmerising Josie Man collaboration “Made 2 Luv”.

‘Viole(n)t Colour’ EP will be released May 23rd, the same day as his London Omeara headline show.

The ‘Viole(n)t Colour’ EP is a raw, deeply personal collection born from the aftermath of emotional and creative burnout. Emerging from a period of intense isolation and exhaustion—after releasing the ‘MRI’ album independently, navigating two self-managed tours, and watching personal relationships unravel—the EP captures both the fragility and resilience of rebuilding from nothing.

While the lead single “Made 2 Luv”, which sees him collaborating with Josie Man, is a biting, soulful outcry wrapped in smooth grooves, capturing the tension between artistic passion and industry disillusionment. It’s a song forged in frustration—with the music industry, the UK’s false promises, and the illusion of success in London—but delivered with a cool, almost ironic charm that masks the weight beneath the surface.

Adding about “Made 2 Luv”, “Made 2 Luv was born out of frustration at the music industry, the UK, the way we’re sold this dream in London and actually it’s all fugazi, yet we still wear a smile and pretend nothing’s wrong which I feel artists have had to become great at in order to do anything at all..”
