Sickick collaborates with Aloe Blacc and Vikkstar on new track ‘Lonely Together’
Sickick, the Toronto-based electronic musician, has released a heartfelt track titled “Lonely Together” in collaboration with Grammy-nominated singer Aloe Blacc and English YouTube personality and DJ Vikkstar. This inspiring anthem aims to resonate with those who seek solace and connection through music.
The song’s core message revolves around finding a sense of togetherness despite feelings of isolation. Aloe Blacc’s poignant vocals set the tone for the track, emphasizing the shared experience of loneliness while highlighting the enduring sense of belonging. The chorus beautifully encapsulates this sentiment, with Blacc crooning, “We’re all lonely alone, feeling everything is wrong / But we know we belong here forever, we’re lonely together.”
Sickick’s creative process for “Lonely Together” was a collaborative endeavor that spanned several months. Drawing inspiration from Blacc’s initial vocal and melody concepts, the track underwent multiple iterations, eventually culminating in a fusion of uplifting house beats and dreamy atmospheres. The integration of Vikkstar’s contributions added a progressive house element to the track, infusing it with warm textures and euphoric synth melodies.
According to Sickick, the goal of the song was to evoke emotions of both heaviness and liberation. The juxtaposition of raw soulfulness in Blacc’s vocals against the backdrop of emotive synths aimed to create a cathartic experience for listeners. The track strikes a delicate balance between tugging at heartstrings and uplifting spirits, inviting listeners to immerse themselves fully in the music and allow it to resonate deeply.
With “Lonely Together,” Sickick, Aloe Blacc, and Vikkstar have crafted an anthemic piece that speaks to the common human experience of seeking connection and solace through music. The track’s poignant lyrics, soulful vocals, and infectious beats converge to create a sonic journey that is both introspective and uplifting. Through their collaborative efforts, the trio has captured the essence of shared isolation and the enduring power of music to unite individuals in a moment of collective understanding and healing.
