We wrote extensively about Tom Tikka in the past few months. The thing is, the Helsinki-based songwriter and singer seems to have been blessed with the ability to write super catchy and relatable material, the kind of songs that feel friendly and approachable. In a world that seems to constantly be derailing towards dark scenarios, that’s a precious quality to have. ‘Fire and Ice’ is Tikka’s latest effort, a stunning slice of hopeful and adventurous eagerness, drenched in wholesome arrangements and cinematic stylings.
Described as the “story of brothers playing pirates in their bunkbed, sailing their ship towards an imaginary island with countless treasures to discover”, ‘Fire and Ice’ moves with confidence and charisma, embracing the listeners in positive storytelling and irresistible melodies. Tikka’s firm yet malleable vocal tone is to die for – as always, helping the record retain the final user’s attention.
The quality of the project won’t be a surprise when taking into account Tikka’s past militancy as a signed songwriter for Sony/BMG. Clearly, there’s a lot of experience here, all reflected in the project’s continuous success, both in streaming terms and in press accolades.
