Sometimes music truly does run in the family. For example, Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer and guitarist for the pop-punk band Green Day, recently recorded<\/a> a cover of David Bowie with his son, Jakob. And now, Violet Grohl\u2014the 19-year-old daughter of Foo Fighters frontman and ex-Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl\u2014will continue carving out her own musical path after landing a deal with Republic Records.<\/p>\n

This week, the singer-guitarist dropped two brand-new tracks\u2014\u201cTHUM\u201d and \u201cApplefish\u201d\u2014on all major streaming platforms in celebration of her deal with Republic Records, through her own imprint Auroura Records. The former is described as<\/a> \u201cloud, raw, and emotionally explosive,\u201d while \u201cApplefish\u201d is softer and more playful with a dreamy, offbeat edge.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m beyond excited to finally share a little bit of what I\u2019ve been working on over the last year,\u201d she has said, according to NME<\/a>. \u201cI made these tracks with the most badass group of musicians, so happy they\u2019re finally yours :).\u201d<\/p>\n

Kristina Grossmann, senior vice president of A&R and operations at Republic Records, called Violet Grohl \u201cunapologetically cool\u201d with \u201ca fearless female voice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe music is immediate, intentional and her voice holds a rare duality,\u201d Grossman said, adding, \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited to help bring her vision and this album to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
