In recent years, Sarah Hickey has been expanding and flourishing in her musical ability, growing her songwriting whilst recording in the studio. This single marks the beginning of the reveal for all this hard work, coming in the form of a debut album on the horizon.
‘Doesn’t Fit’ allows Hickey’s introspective vocal style to shine, backed up with gentle chords and a mellow electric guitar line. The instrumentation is built up around the vocals throughout the track, culminating in a supernova of texture in the final chorus, Sarah’s voice holding steadfast in a sea of chaos.
Discussing the new track, Sarah shares:
“The song ‘Doesn’t Fit’ is about feeling out of place and like nothing makes sense. The chorus came to me when I sat down to write last Autumn and when I listened back some time later I wrote the verses. They felt like a stream of consciousness so it felt very natural to write the song and when recording it with a band it fell together naturally too. I recorded this song in a house by the sea in Cork last November with ‘Catalyst’. They have been such a wonderful team to work with and I feel very close to the songs when recording. The whole experience was really beautiful and I feel very lucky spending my time making music and working with other like minded people. The cover art I painted for the song is a visual representation of the lyrical content and overall feel of the song. I wanted to include vague and uncertain elements and a colour palette that matches the way I see the song.”
With a debut full-length release looking promising, we wait in anticipation for more to come from this exciting new artist.
