Our Australian readers may or may not be aware of Nicosongs, Melbourne-based creative with a knack for authentic, reminiscent songwriting and brooding contemporary pop. After having debuted last year with ‘Insane’, the talented artist is now back with his latest effort, an electrifying, intense remix penned by producer and collaborator Sb90. For reference, he was also partly responsible for the original arrangement, a signal that there’s a great deal of musical alchemy between the two.
Raising the stakes, and the BPMs, Sb90 wraps ‘Insane’ into an electrifying, dance-inducing aural livery, a contemporary production that doesn’t overpower the track; on the contrary, it adds to Nicosongs’ hypnotic, luscious vocals, resulting in a main chorus that’s hyper-catchy and fashionable.
From a lyrical standpoint, the single is the perfect example of how evocative and meaningful Nicosong’s songwriting can be. Steeped in heartfelt reflection, the song feels incredibly relatable and revealing. As we are told, “‘Insane’ is an introspection, a means of looking inward to try and figure out why it all just feels out of place. While this track is open to interpretation, Nicosongs’ motive stands behind a disconnect, confusion, and negative viewpoint of the current state of the world.” Reacting to our chaotic world with artistic expression? We dig that.
