Isn’t it great how music can always match our vibe? From stomping and euphoric night-outs to sombre and transformative moments, we can always count on the right tune to soundtrack our experiences and support us. Sadie Nix knows that very well, crafting a poignant, heart-wrenching gem that acts as a ‘grief accelerator’, allowing us to process and mourn a sudden heartbreak. ‘Oblivious’ is a wholesome pop offering, channelling epic tones and nostalgic lyricism. Over a classic production, Nix’s vocals are able to deliver in full force, hitting the listener’s hearts with emotional prowess.
A powerful exploration of heartbreak pain and the loneliness of mourning something that never quite was, ‘Oblivious’ draws on a wide range of musical influences, the likes of Dolly Parton and Taylor Swift, among others. The song builds in intensity, conveying the desperation of the situation with a darker, more rock-inspired edge.
Based in Brighton, but originally from the US, Nix has been navigating a career on the rise, as shown by her latest media attention. Having been chosen for a feature on BBC Introducing, the track was recorded at Metropolis Studios in London, with Alex Robinson as the recording and mix engineer and Martin Hollis as the producer.
Overall, ‘Oblivious’ is an expression of a universal emotion and a heartfelt reminder that we are all vulnerable to the pain of unrequited love.
