While some records are made for listeners to connect to their meaningful lyrical prowess, others are made for the sense of euphoria and escapism that listening to a joyful track can give. The latter is exactly the case of VELIKA VELIKA, the eclectic solo project of Benjamin Davies. Emerging from Belper, UK, the talented indie newcomer manages to create a kaleidoscopic and exciting sonic contour, relying on simple beats, fun guitar riffs and witty vocal inserts.
‘SEES THE SUN’ is the strongest evidence of that: boasting an impressively catchy and uplifting character, the record showcases Davies’ musical versatility and creativity. Playing everything from acoustic and electric guitar to programmed drums and bass, Davies uses his voice to create a unique sound that draws inspiration from the likes of Beck, Sufjan Stevens and Broken Social Scene, among others.
Lyrically, ‘SEES THE SUN’ seeks to motivate listeners in getting out and party, having fun with the belief that things will be alright – whatever the issue might be. The song exudes a sense of optimism, exploring the value of being content with themselves rather than comparing themselves to others.
