Venus' “Things Change” Is an Ethereal Salve For Life's Woes


The progeny of mythical goddesses is deliberately hard to discern, a half step of knowledge too difficult for any mere mortal to understand, but rarely do they land you in Fontana, California. Yet as the title to this dreamy ethereally sonic pearl from Venus suggests, "Things Change," and we find this rising artist not only propelling pop prophecies from a Los Angeles exurb but morphing her sound, “exiting her comfort zone” to impressive results.

Like many diverse children of satellite cities, Venus was held to believe that music, and her other love of acting, was something to love, not a profession. Despite knowing music was something she couldn’t do without she settled into the rigors of studying to be an accountant, but the music bug never left her. 

Surrounded by good friends and collaborators, Venus joined the alt R&B group Ahmore, which gained traction during the pandemic. During that same period, she taught herself to write and record on her own, which led to her current solo work, using her experience to hone in on her more native creative expressions. The odd blessing of the pandemic created an opportunity to further her sound and condense her chaotic songwriting, 'shedding out lyrics' into tight tracks. All that change, control, and adaptation is self-evident in "Things Change," a 'lullaby to me' accepting the fleeting nature of time, process, and relationships, a song meant to soothe not solve the nature of life.

It's difficult not to be transported by the beauty of the song. The luscious vocals and calming tempo create an ethereal vibe check that feels like you are in the presence of a goddess, reassuring you lyrically and spiritually. While we can’t fight the momentum of time passing, one thing you can change is giving this artist a listen and enjoy the best sonic fortune coming from Fontana in some time.
