Nick Hakim shares glitchy new cut "BOUNCING"
Nick Hakim is back with "BOUNCING", a third and final taster of his forthcoming WILL THIS MAKE ME GOOD album.
"BOUNCING" drops after last month's Mac DeMarco collaboration "CRUMPY", and March's lead single "QADIR".
Hakim says of his latest outing, ""BOUNCING" is a sound bath where I wrote about one of the coldest days in New York I remember, while lying in my bed, restless by a radiator. It’s about feeling uneasy."
The new single arrives with a visual directed by Nelson Nance, and features the same cast as "QADIR". Nance says of the visual, "The "BOUNCING" video asks the viewer to question our drive to find spectacles and how the pursuit of such can lead to becoming a spectacle. There is nothing inherently wrong with viewing or being a spectacle but I think it’s healthy to question if our energy is being put in the right place when interfacing with what draws our attention."
WILL THIS MAKE ME GOOD will be Hakim's second album, arriving after 2017's Green Twins.
In a statement, Hakim said of his forthcoming LP, "People have told me that it's confusing or that it's messy - that's fine. There's so much pressure on artists to commit to being one thing, or to restrict an album to exploring just one subject or sound. But my life isn't like that, and so my music can't be like that either. I'm not thinking about this music as a product to be bought and sold, or how I'll buy your interest. This is my world; a lot of friends touched this record, and that makes me feel lucky and proud. These songs are glimpses into my community. I'm exploring, but I'm not alone. It's a journey in progress; it's an experiment, every day."
