If we had to pick an adjective to describe VELIKA VELIKA’s latest single, it would be ‘fierceness’. Simply, it’s fierce! ‘COMING. GOING.’ is a slice of electrifying grunge rock delivered with pop appeal and alternative flair, making for a record that’s pretty leftfield yet rather familiar and relatable. That’s where the sweet spot lies: special enough to gain interest from listeners, and digestible enough to retain them.
‘COMING. GOING.’ is the perfect example of that. On one side, we find this overall fuzziness that drenches the track in bold sonic energy, especially when it comes to the gritty guitars and the tight drums. On the other, we are surprised by VELIKA VELIKA’s cryptic yet charming vocals, offering a slice of sleaziness through a fashionable delivery. In truth, it’s catchy too, making for a highly rewarding listening experience.
The solo effort of British rocker Benjamin Davies, the project sees him performing all instruments, something that instantly marks him as a multi-talented creative. Judging by his artistic output, he truly is. Speaking about the single, Davies explains: “It is about a person in life who thinks that they are finally something – finally attractive to others – finally noticeable though they really have nothing to offer”.
