From the Outside is the second studio album by the American pop rock band Hey Violet, released on June 16, 2017, by Hi or Hey and Capitol Records. It was the band's first studio album since their name change from Cherri Bomb to Hey Violet, and last with rhythm guitarist and keyboardist Miranda Miller and bassist Iann Shipp. Hey Violet wrote and recorded the album in 2016 and 2017; the band worked primarily with producer Julian Bunetta. The album's sound has been described as "post-EDM pop rock".[1] Lyrics about love, heartbreak, relationships, growing up and agency. (smth along those lines...?)
From the Outside was supported by three singles, which all made apparences on the Billboard Pop Airplay chart; "Guys My Age", "Break My Heart" and "Hoodie". "Guys My Age" also reached number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Hey Violet's first and only song appearence on the chart. The band embarked on headlining tours of North America and Europe in the run-up to its release; it debuted and peaked at number 110 on the US Billboard 200 and number 2 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers Albums chart. Music critics praised its themes, attitude and production, though some were unhappy with Hey Violet's change in style and felt it lacked substance. (again; tentative)
Background and recording
[edit]Ig were gonna go as far back as 2015/2016 or smth....
the band's third extended play (EP) Brand New Moves. .... yeah
Hey Violet wrote and recorded From the Outside over the course of a year and a half,[3] working primarily with producer Julian Bunetta.[4] The album was also produced by Cook Classics, DallasK, Jason Evigan, Teddy Geiger, among others.[5] "Brand New Moves" and "Fuqboi" were both written recorded in 2016[6] and were originally featured on Brand New Moves.[7] Most of the album's songs, including "Guys My Age", "O.D.D.", "Where Have You Been (All My Night)", and "Like Lovers Do", were written over the course of a week and a half at a "crazy writing session" in Palm Springs, Florida, where the band rented a house to stay at with ten other songwriters to write songs, over the course of a week and a half.[8] Rena said that initially, all of the band would attend the sessions, but struggled due to the sheer amount of people in the room and decided that two members would go to the session and return and get feedback from the rest of the band.[9]
During the album's writing period, the members of Hey Violet drew influence from The Weeknd, St. Lucia, Cyndi Lauper, The Cure,[10] The 1975, Twenty One Pilots,[11] St. Vincent, Melanie Martinez and No Doubt.[4]
In a November 2016 interview with Billboard, Rena said that Hey Violet had amassed "enough songs for three albums" and were in the process of deciding which ones to put on the album.[12] In an April 2017 interview with Rock Sound, she said the band were narrowing down its tracklist from 20-25 songs.[13]
Composition
[edit]Overview
[edit]From the Outside has been described as ....
Chris DeVille of Stereogum described its sound as "post-EDM pop rock".[1]
songs about what
Jon Caramanica of The New York Times identified sexual agency as one of the album's encompassing(?) themes, highlighting the songs "Brand New Moves", "Unholy" and "Like Lovers Do".[14] Rena said the band identified as feminists.
The album's title is derived from a lyric in the song "Where Have You Been (All My Night)"; "I’ve been watching all the lovers from the outside."[15] (sources also)
Songs (3/12)
[edit]track by track:[15]
The opening track of From the Outside, "Break My Heart", is a "breakup anthem"[4] that draws from the late 2010s tropical pop and EDM genres.[2]
"Brand New Moves"
"Guys My Age" [....] Whilst the song's structure and lyrics were changed after it was initially written, Rena's vocals are taken from its demo version.[15]
"Hoodie" [....] When performing the song live, Nia used a Roland SPD for its verses and a KT-10 drum trigger for its chorus.[15]
"My Consequence"
Described by Caramanica as the album's most introspective song,[14] "O.D.D." ... acoustic guitars (nyt, la times)
"All We Ever Wanted" [....] Rena described "Fuqboi" as Hey Violet's attempt to "capture the essence of the 'fuckboy' "; the band wrote the song after Bunetta asked about their experiences with them.[15] Rena suggested that the character in the song was female/a girl.[16] Over energetic riffs,[2] the band promises to globally exterminate fuckboys if they are elected president.[17] "Unholy" is an electropop song[7] about imagining being with someone else whilst in a relationship, and was called the album's darkest song by Moreta.[15] Its intro sees Bunetta hit the wrong note on a keyboard, but the band liked it and kept it.[15] "Where Have You Been (All My Night)" [...] Miller felt the song had a vintage feel comparable with the Black Mirror episode "San Junipero".(billboard) "Like Lovers Do" is about fantasizing of (REDO) a potential relationship with a man she may meet at a bar.[15] The song alternates between acoustic verses and pop rock choruses;[15] Deville likened its breakdown to Evanescence covering "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin.[1] The album's final track, "This Is Me Breaking Up with You", recalls Hey Violet's early sound;[7][15] Caramanica described it as a "jumpy Ramones homage".[14]
Release and promotion
[edit]On September 20, 2016, "Guys My Age" was released as the lead single from From the Outside. Its music video was released on November 2, 2016.[18] On November 16, the band performed the song on The Late Late Show with James Corden.[19] In March 2017, Hey Violet embarked on their debut headlining North America tour.[20] On March 10, "Break My Heart" was released as the album's second single,[21] with its music video, directed by Darren Craig and Jesse Heath, being released on April 3, 2017.[22] Hey Violet toured Europe between April 28 and May 10, 2017.[23]
On June 2, 2017, Hey Violet premiered "O.D.D." though Rookie magazine.[24][11] On June 7, the band played a one-off show in London.[25] The album was released on June 16, 2017. Three days later, Hey Violet announced that "Hoodie" would be released as the album's third single;[26] It was added as a single to Radio Disney on July 11, 2017.[27] In August 2017, the band performed two shows in Japan.[28] On August 31, Miller announced that she had left Hey Violet.[29][28] In an interview with Billboard later that month, amicable, gruelling touring n whatnot.[30] The band spent the rest of 2017 touring as a quartet.[29]

Melodic | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
PopMatters | 8/10[17] |
Rock Sound | 6/10[31] |
Steve Horowitz of PopMatters called From the Outside a "modern masterpiece that declares one's choices in life are one's own".[17]
AllMusic's Heather Phares gave the album a score of three out of five stars, highlighting the singles "Break My Heart" and "Guys My Age", as well as the songs previously included in their EP Brand New Moves (its title track and "Fuqboi"), saying: "While Hey Violet sometimes seem to have more personality than their material on From the Outside, they handle the album's many stylistic shifts without giving listeners too much sonic whiplash."[2] Rob Sayce of Rock Sound felt that the album had "little substance behind the style",[31] whilst Kaj Roth of Melodic felt the band had lost some of their identity in the process of transitioning from rock to pop; he favoured tracks in the style of the former.[7]
"Guys My Age" was named one of the best songs of 2016 by V Magazine[32] and Caramanica,[33] who also ranked From the Outside at number four on his list of the best albums of 2017.[34] Mikael Wood, writing for the Los Angeles Times in December 2017, felt that the album "didn't gain the traction [...] it deserved" for unclear reasons, though believed confusion surrounding Hey Violet's name change and Miller's departure affected it.[35] In 2019, Chris Payne of Billboard called the album an "under-the-radar" pop gem.[36]
Commercial performance
[edit]From the Outside debuted and peaked at number 110 on the US Billboard 200 at number 2 on the Billboard Top Heatseeker Albums chart.[28] "Guys My Age", "Break My Heart" and "Hoodie" all charted on the Billboard Pop Airplay chart, at numbers 20, 37, and 33, respectively.[37][38] "Guys My Age" became Hey Violet's first and only charting song on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching a peak position of number 68,[38] and additionally peaked at number 78 on the Australian ARIA Top 100 Singles chart.[39]

Idolator says the second single "Break My Heart" is a 'monstrous electro-anthem' and declares, the band is 'destined to have a massive year.' Alternative Press calls the track 'irresistible,' while Nylon raves, 'Hey Violet knows how to write a good pop hook and 'Break My Heart' is a testament to that. This song has spunk.'[3]
Substream Magazine's Gabriel Aikins calls the album a 'good, bold step into the future,' and adds that the songwriting 'never fails.'
Soundfiction[4]
Jon Winkler of The Young Folks gave a highly positive review, saying: 'Equal parts scrappy and crafted, From the Outside is a strong and memorable debut album from a band that thrives on the one thing all young bands seem to forsake: spunk.'[5][6]

songwriteruniverse thing
When we started to do writing sessions, four of us—me, Miranda (Miller), Casey and Nia—would all go to the session, but it just wasn’t working, only because there were so many people in the room. It would be the four of us, plus the people that we were collaborating with. So it just got to be a lot. It wasn’t that we didn’t write good songs—it just took a lot to get there because there were so many opinions. So we decided that it would probably be me plus one other person in the band going to the writing session. This time around, Nia and I went in a lot. But it really was anybody in the band that wanted to come in, anybody who felt like writing that day. We all write—Casey’s really good at music, Miranda’s really good at lyrics and music, and Nia’s really good at melody and lyrics. And I think all of those things put together can make a great song, and getting the different perspectives on each song really helps. For instance, when two of us would go into a session, we would come back and get [the other band members’] feedback, and see how we can make the song better. So it’s really a collaborative effort.
untitled magazine
The album meaning is basically that you can look at your life from different perspectives, the different loves that you go through of your relationships and all of these different things. You’re looking at them and all you see is these different perspectives of yourself and you see all these different viewpoints and through that you learn who you are as a person. I feel that this album is us having our own voice as a band and being able to put out the music we want to put out. I think that “From the Outside” really captured that nicely.
id magazine
"It’s kind of a collaborative process. We work with our producer Julian and he’ll either come up with an instrumental or we’ll say what we’re listening to and we want to do this kind of sound. Sometimes it’ll start with a lyric, but it’s different all the time. [...]" personal experiences thoughts etc
Most of what I write about comes from love. I love love — writing about it, being in it, experiencing it, going through it. Our track Break My Heart is about the darker side of love. When you’re in a relationship you have the first date, the first kiss, the honeymoon stage, the butterflies in your stomach and then this track is about having felt all of that and now wanting the other person to almost break your heart. When you want to feel that desperation and longing, going to bed thinking of them and waking up thinking the exact same thing. What we’re about as a band is picking apart different pieces of things and, like I said, I over analyse so much and going to those different perspectives of love and life really helps us shape our songs.
upset magazine
“We used to write a lot of songs about not being in control. We wanted to turn that around and see what it was like from the other side,” starts Nia. “The record does that. When we’re singing about having a broken heart, we want you to break our heart. We want to feel next level. We wanted to take an average story, all these different love stories, and figure out different perspectives. That’s why we named it ‘From The Outside’, we want you to take a step back and realise there are all these different ways to look at love and experience love.”
also relating to that carmanica point about sexual agency, this is good:
“Strong female energy just comes from what we stand for as a band. It’s just not in our nature to come across as damsels in distress.” It’s something that comes from “who I am as a person,” starts Rena. “We’re all feminists in the band. We stand up for women’s rights. It all comes across naturally because it’s who we are as people. There was no intentional ‘let’s write a song about girl power’ because then it’s just going to come across as insanely fake. I’m a supporter of our fans being inspired to do the things they want to do. A lot of our fans are girls and if they want to pick up an instrument or sing songs, we’re their biggest supporters.”
and
“A lot of that on this album was due to my age and the experiences that were happening around me,” explains Rena. The battleground of late teens and early twenties is where everything starts to make sense, but you know less than ever. One thing that remains firm throughout though is the belief that: “I’m being authentic to myself, and that’s all that matters. This is my story. Take it or leave it.”
