VOILÀ’s “Wish It On You,” featuring AViVA, is a visceral journey through the wreckage of a toxic relationship. Band members Gus Ross and Luke Eisner deliver a track that’s brimming with intensity and palpable emotion. Ross‘s vocals swing from tender to ferocious as he starts off trying to be civil, but quickly spirals into pure resentment. “I’ll try to keep it cordial / Be the bigger person / Make it middle finger formal / Let karma get her work in,” he intones, blending politeness with blatant rage.
The chorus, “Beat me black and blue / Rip me right in two / Wouldn’t wish it on my own worst enemy / But I wish it on you,” reveals the paradox of his feelings, underscoring the depth of his pain. Guest vocalist AViVA’s verse brings a fierce defiance to the set, with biting sarcasm that shifts the power dynamic, highlighting her strength.
The bridge cranks up the emotional intensity, with Gus wishing the same torment on his ex, amplifying his vindictive desires as he does so.The arrangement swings between hard-charging, overdriven guitar wails in the choruses and spookier, haunted verses – all driven by boxy rock drums.
“Wish It On You” hits like a gut punch of anguish and retribution. And as this beast of a pop-rock storm winds down, the emotional impact remains, leaving listeners to grapple with the aftermath.
