Raf Duran – Violence In Your Eyes

Unique and oppressive: "Violence In Your Eyes" by Raf Duran pushes the boundaries of synth pop

Raf Duran's new track "Violence In Your Eyes" takes the listen­er into a dark world of sound that is both fas­cin­at­ing and dis­turb­ing. The song com­bines clas­sic synth pop ele­ments with unex­pec­ted techno hi-hats and delib­er­ately breaks with tra­di­tion­al song struc­tures. This exper­i­ment­al approach gives the track a ten­sion that cap­tiv­ates the listen­er from the very begin­ning and draws them into a world of dark­ness and des­pair.

The music video is par­tic­u­larly note­worthy, per­fectly cap­tur­ing the artist behind the song. Duran relies on a min­im­al­ist sta­ging: the sing­er stands in front of a wall, prob­ably in his own liv­ing room, while video pro­jec­tions run in front of it. This simple but effect­ive visu­al­isa­tion avoids, in my opin­ion, the fre­quently encountered gen­er­ic video stock mater­i­al and, more recently, AI videos, and gives the video a per­son­al and authen­t­ic touch. This decision not only shows cre­ativ­ity, but also the cour­age to stand out from con­ven­tion­al pro­duc­tions, prob­ably for cost reas­ons, and to devel­op one's own artist­ic signature.
