You’re The Worst

UK artist SHIKA compels on the brooding and incandescent new single ‘You’re The Worst’. The cultivated and travelled songstress uses her well rounded persona and vast experience to delve into different sounds and genres. She offers distinctive tonality and vulnerable, refined songwriting fuelled by emotional comprehension and acumen. On this unique piece of work, SHIKA comes through with a dreamy yet dingy R&B cut, full of torment and desire. 

The understated instrumental brings together elements of lofi and R&B, creating a sensual and atmospheric timbre. The washy, naturalistic sample and guitar chords are combined with coy, moody sparse percussion, to envision a dilapidated and vivid sonic landscape. The vocals are melancholic and charismatic, full of fledging emotional depth and swooning eminence, as our narrator describes an altruistic and tyrannical relationship. The writing is honest and stylistic, with SHIKA showing an impressive refinement in her descriptions of love and pain. 

Full of emotion, vitality and compassion, this is a beautiful song from a compelling artist who has a lot more to offer. The track is accompanied by a retro, Tokyo shot video. Check it out.
