Veronica Bianqui – Money
Veronica Bianqui Shares “Money” Single + Video
Use Once Then Destroy LP Out 11/13 via NX Records
Los Angeles-born and now London-based multidisciplinary artist Veronica Bianqui returns with “Money,” the latest single from her forthcoming sophomore album, Use Once Then Destroy, due out November 13th, 2026 via NX Records.
A playful and irreverent take on our relationship with wealth, “Money” introduces another side of the album’s larger-than-life world, pairing sharp satire with unexpected production and a growing sense of confrontation.
“I started giving myself writing prompts before every song because I wanted to get out of my own habits. For ‘Money,’ the challenge was to somehow combine hyper-pop, hip hop, folk rock, and glitchy production,” Bianqui shares.
What’s funny is that you probably wouldn’t point to the finished song and hear those genres, but the prompt pushed me into making creative decisions I never would’ve made otherwise—like chopping up my guitar into these stuttering, glitchy textures. Lyrically, it became a satirical look at the way we worship money. I loved the idea of presenting that obsession almost like a nursery rhyme, repeating ‘Money, money…’ until it gradually mutates into something much more confrontational with the ‘fuck that shit, burn it to the ground’ section. I’m always drawn to those kinds of contradictions—humour and anger, sweetness and aggression, light and dark existing in the same song.”
On Use Once Then Destroy, Bianqui builds a world of larger-than-life characters — obsessive lovers, antiheroes, rock stars, self-destructive brats. Familiar rock ‘n’ roll tropes are exaggerated, inverted, and reimagined through dark humor, vivid storytelling, and a playful approach to the genre’s mythology. Bianqui balances sharp satire with emotional intensity to explore obsession, desire, power, and disposability, while questioning the myths we create around ourselves and others.
Written over four years following her move from Los Angeles to London, the album emerged during a period of profound loss and personal change that reshaped both her life and artistic direction. It developed alongside the completion of two Master’s degrees—an MMus in Popular Music and an MFA in Creative Practice at Goldsmiths University, where Bianqui deepened her practice as a producer, embracing the recording studio as an extension of the songwriting process.
Adopting a more DIY approach, Bianqui gave herself permission to follow ideas without knowing exactly where they would lead. She self-produced the record–playing much of it herself–and recording wherever the project could move forward. Outside musicians and engineers still contributed along the way — among them, Omar Yakar (Courtney Barnett, Warpaint), who mixed the record — but the studio became less a place to execute finished ideas than to discover them. Trusting her own instincts, she approached the recording process with a renewed sense of play, allowing songwriting and production to evolve together. Rather than smoothing every rough edge, Bianqui let curiosity and instinct guide the process. The result is a record that pairs classic pop craftsmanship with punk energy and inventive production, moving fluidly between satire, confession, and a cast of heightened personas.
“Money” by Veronica Bianqui is out October 16th. Use Once Then Destroy is out November 13th via NX Records.
