SICKY is about to release his highly anticipated new full-length album, “Troubled Delight”, and as a preview, we’re treated to his new beautiful single, “Slide”. This new song is a perfect example of SICKY’s weird alternative pop art and has all the ingredients we love in SICKY – poppy melodies, minimalism, positive energy and a poignant vocal delivery. From the very first notes, “Slide” captures your attention and sticks to your brain with its catchy vocal melodies. The inclusion of Jen Bone’s double bass adds a vintage texture that sets the song apart, while the percussion creates an irresistible groove and the guitar chords give depth. “Slide” is a playful track, which lasts just over two minutes and is reminiscent of early Blur and Beck. Its deliberate arrangement, the sophisticated production and its funny feeling will make you love this song. It doesn’t only preview the upcoming album “Troubled Delight”, but also sets the stage for what promises to be an emotionally rich and sonically diverse body of work. Personally I cannot resist these melodic Britpop sensibilities and indie rock grit – “Slide” balances between those two different poles and counts as a victory of fine indie pop art!

♦ 8/10

SICKY – “I’M HAPPY IF YOU’RE HAPPY” (2024, SINGLE, SELF-RELEASED)

SICKY, the solo project of Mick Butler, is ready to release its new, third album, “Troubled Delight”, and we have the song “I’m Happy If You’re Happy” in our playlist as a preview. This teaser song is a… happy song, which, in the beginning, you may find indifferent or like a childish tune; however, each time you listen to it, you will discover more things in it! In less than three minutes, Butler delivers a vocal recital, singing with passion and devotion, being theatrical, and pushing his voice to the limits. The percussion is cleverly planned and performed, while the double bass is exactly what this song needs! Bringing to mind acts like Beck and Blur, this organic, melodic, gleeful song will make you smile, stomp your feet, and dance, and its lyrics will make you think about seduction and temptation. “I’m Happy If You’re Happy” successfully places SICKY somewhere between indie rock and Britpop and will please every listener, both the long-time fans and those who will be tempted by the song’s beat and melody! “Troubled Delight” seems to be a very interesting, tuneful record, brilliantly crafted by the genius of Mick Butler. I am already looking forward to this new album!
