Greetings, dearest gentle reader and music fans. Let’s welcome Skàlavik artist Plutonic. On November 30th, the artist released a single called “Where’s The Trauma.” Let’s dive into it.
The song opens with a pulsating beat, and the artist says, “Where’s The Trauma?” This song was inspired after Anna’s adviser for her thesis, “Trauma, Poetry, Fuck The Jante Law – Creativity as a Means of Survival,” at Iceland University of the Arts, questioned her, “Where’s The Trauma?” Although Anna had penned numerous poems, none dealt with the pressing issue of trauma. She thought about that question, Where’s The Trauma, as Anna went home from school on foot. As she hurried up the stairs to her room, Anna thought about the question, feeling agitated and angry. She told herself, “I’ll show her where the trauma is!” Anna quickly began writing down her feelings of rage at being forced to address the issue, transforming her rage into art publicly. That was the push that Anna needed.
Plutonic is a multitalented artist. She wears many hats as a live performer, producer, songwriter, and electric composer. Anna is a one-woman band, and she will blow you away.
What a powerful song. Singing along to “Where’s The Trauma?” I felt a cathartic release as I yelled those words out. I implore you to listen to this song and hopefully have a cathartic moment like mine. Plutonic is a star, and I can’t wait to hear more music from her.
