Put Me To Sleep Forever And Ever


Nick Hakim “Bet She Looks Like You”

Nick Hakim’s vocal style is firmly rooted in R&B, but his music is very much in the same aesthetic mode as contemporary festival-circuit psychedelia – Tame Impala, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Living, maybe a touch of MGMT. As it turns out, that’s a very natural formula, and a stoned vibe just makes the vocal performance seem more plaintive and nostalgic. The reverb on this track is so wet that it sounds like Hakim is singing in a public bathroom and the guitar notes sound like they’re literally dripping out of a leaky faucet. It’s a bit much, production-wise, but the sound is immediately ear-grabbing and the emotion in his voice feels very raw and immediate.
