A new single release from Sick Souls delivers quite a robust and classic pop tonality that beckons 80s synth and radio pop soundscapes that we all know and love.
"7 Seas" is a track built with much attention to those tones. The synthesizer tones are chosen carefully for this one so that the aesthetic of vintage pop can really come through with a lively and proper aesthetic.
This track has an amazing build to it and for me, was very nostalgic because of how well they nailed that feel and vibe influenced and inspired by the mid to late 80s and early 90s synth-pop era.
One of the things I love about this is how it uses a thick and robust synth bass that really gives that low-end a wonderful sound and that's a huge driver to the track itself.
The beat is very well placed because it's not too heavy-handed but also adds to the drive of the track.
The layers of synthesizers and keys are what make this song special along with those vocals because that vocal approach really closes the circle and ties everything together.
This was like a love letter to that vintage pop and the bands that It produced and you can hear the love for that sound in the song itself.
The vocals have a deep tone and a great vibrato that makes it kind of unique but also brings to mind some old-school acts. There are also great elements of reverb throughout this song and that doesn't exclude the vocals either.
What's cool about this track is that it doesn't just beckon classic feel, it also blends in a current approach. There's lots of indie and dream pop involved in this and all of that comes into play in the track as well. Mixes the old and the new school soundscapes well so it feels refreshing and familiar at the same time.
Anyone who grew up loving synth-pop will absolutely fall for this song straight away.
It's got loads of synth hooks and those vocals that wrap themselves around you and keep you right where they want to.
Another thing I really liked about this was how it felt cinematic.
Something about this track gives you the vibe of a montage. One that you would see in a classic '80s film, and what's fun is that the music video for this track features beautiful women walking along the beach, almost like a montage from an '80s flick.
We've taken the liberty of popping that music video below for your viewing and listening pleasure, of course.
The attention to detail and vintage pop aesthetic to life were driven by those kinds of influences, and it was well-placed, as this was completely nostalgic and felt amazing.
The whole thing comes through with a slight brooding undertone as per the style but has a lot of color, lush tones, layers of textured synths and keys, and this vibrant underbelly.
This is one you want to hear especially if you like dream pop, indie pop, classic pop, synth-pop, or even new wave.
A brilliant track that was put together with heart and attention, give "7 Seas" a good listen because it's more than worth your time and I'm sure you will find yourself getting pulled right into that atmosphere.
It's also quite danceable and you find yourself getting into the groove really easily.
I love a song that makes me feel young again. It feels like this is the kind of song that could have served as the soundtrack to a chapter in your life.
Check this out right now and remember where you heard it first.
