Track 18 – Don’t Kill My Vibe – Sigrid (2017)
Listening to this, it sounds like a big “F you” song about a failed relationship. It’s actually a response to an older male producer who patronised her and was rude during an early recording session.
Even knowing that, it’s still a powerful anthem to channel your energies and go and hit the road and work off some of your frustrations, whatever they are.
It starts slow, builds and has some fantastic drums and a super uplifting chorus. The lyrics are great; I especially like “I’m the puzzle you can’t figure out”. The last third has an inspired hand clap bit (love a good hand clap) to power you through.
Take the break from the 90s house and trance and enjoy some super Norwegian pop!
