Troubled Delight 

 

Independent and alternative, inspired by bands like Fun Lovin Criminals, Blur, and Prince, the UK solo creative activist Sicky brings album number 3. To highlight the record, we get a great video single as well. Slide is a focus track on Troubled Delight and shows up for those of us who fall back into harmful and destructive ways. Perhaps it’s worse for some than others, picking up the washing and not carrying a knife are worlds apart but the sentiment is the same. Changing our behaviour is more than an expression of who we are, it’s an expression of what we’re prepared to do to preserve our direction. The new album Troubled Delight contains a list of 12 songs that are over in 3 minutes or less, meaning that every element is meant to be taken like shots one after the other. Will they slide down? Let’s begin with this potent number.  

 

A burst of rhythmic melody begins the tune, vocals begin to stream through along a rattety drumbeat and joyous phrases of melody. A Bowie-esque vocal delivery bounces along lines of acoustic and keyboard as the one two oompa bass stroke keeps everything neat. The free-flowing and abstract tone that accompanies the structure fills the gaps and colours over the sides, new sounds find avenues for expression while continuing melodies throw the dance step to the time of a persistently happy beat.
