Victor John releases “Annihilation” and addresses internal issues and acceptance

Singer-songwriter Victor John releases his new single “Aniquilamento”, the first from his upcoming EP, scheduled for release this year. The track, available on all digital platforms, addresses themes such as guilt, the desire to belong and the acceptance of sexual orientation.

The composition, entirely original, reflects on a cycle of self-condemnation and search for redemption, highlighting the internal struggles faced when hiding one’s true identity. Victor John explains that the song shows the pressure of external expectations and the desire to belong to something bigger.

“I feel that today I have become a courageous, independent and authentic voice that fights for what I believe in. For this to happen, it was necessary to go through a long and painful process,” says Victor.

Known for his more upbeat songs, Victor highlights that “Aniquilamento” marks a shift to more introspective and sad compositions, revealing his vulnerable side. “It makes me very nervous, because it shows my pain and scars, something I’m not so used to exposing,” comments the artist.

The song emphasizes the courage it takes to be authentic. Victor recounts the struggle of questioning his sexuality and the feeling of not fitting in. “‘Father, lead me not into temptation,’ that line of the song encapsulates the feeling I had when I wrote it. In my mind at the time, being true to who I am meant giving in to sin.”
