New York City artist Vitesse X has dropped her take on Filter’s late-’90s alt-rock staple “Take A Picture,” the song is now available via Music Website and follows her recent single “Memori.” Stay tuned for more music from Vitesse X coming soon.

The producer, vocalist, and DJ’s version of “Take A Picture,” Vitesse X pulls the song out of its alt FM friendly sounds, into something hazier and more suspended. Built around trip-hop-leaning drums, atmospheric production, and the song’s unmistakable melodic center, the cover draws out the melancholy beneath the original’s sense of escape while bringing it into her own dream-pop world.

Of the track, Vitesse X says, “I was listening to ‘Take a Picture’ in the car in the winter, deep in some heavy emotions. I was feeling really detached from the current state of music and exhausted by the demands of the modern world. When the song came on, I was immediately transported back to a feeling I had completely forgotten existed. A time where life felt tangible and simple and pure. It was honestly transcendental. I opened up my phone notes to remind myself to make a cover, and a month later it came to fruition.”

Vitesse X has spent the last several years shaping a sound that sits between dream pop, breakbeats, club music, and alternative electronic production, becoming a quiet reference point for listeners drawn to shoegaze-adjacent electronic music, soft-club nostalgia, and left-field pop.
