Singer-songwriter VICK is back with her brand new single, "Split." "Split" is an angsty, pop-rock ballad about the duality of heartbreak and love. VICK's music places a heavy focus on vulnerability and emotional rawness, and "Split" is a prime example. VICK's songwriting perfectly captures those messy feelings that we all know too well in relationships, while her vocals are impassioned and unrestrained at times. "Split" is the perfect type of song to hear when you need to let out all those bottled-in emotions. From the lyrics to the rock-inspired aesthetic, the track has this perfect cathartic edge. "Split" is universal in its sentiments, yet undeniably singular to VICK and her artistry.
"Split" is a dynamic track. Centering around a grungy guitar line and VICK's fiery belting, the song gradually builds until the absolutely explosive chorus. The instrumentation alone takes the listener on a journey, but what makes the track stand out even further is the songwriting. "Split" really showcases VICK's talents as a lyricist. Her songwriting is fervent yet grounded. Lines like "Will you get tired of your void. Why do we need to lose everything" give a poetic twist on a universal feeling of exhaustion in a failing relationship. Fans of artists like Olivia Rodrigo or Phoebe Bridgers would find lots to resonate within VICK's music." It's hard to listen to "Split" and not find yourself relating in some way, and it makes for the perfect backing track for when you need it in your own life.
"Split" is the first song back from VICK in over a year, and she is just getting started. The singer-songwriter broke waves when she competed on The Voice of Bulgaria in 2018 and placed second. Her music instantly made a strong connection with audiences everywhere. Singles like "Not Alone," "ETERNAL EYES," and her debut "Can't Handle," have tens of thousands of streams across platforms like YouTube and Spotify. This has led VICK to play at a myriad of different festivals and live performances. VICK's singular voice--both vocally and lyrically--has created a strong musical identity for her that resonates with so many so strongly. You can listen to her discography, including "Split" on all major streaming platforms now.
