Bad Bubble’s eccentric tendencies have birthed a quite beautiful thing on ‘Sprinkler’, his latest single. A song rich with harmonies and with a melancholic composition, Bad Bubble’s ‘Sprinkler’ is akin to M83’s grandiose electric ballads while retaining his distinctive sonic fingerprint we’ve come to appreciate and understand more with each new drop.
An artist based in Chicago, Bad Bubble is committed to his cause. An eccentric who shies away from conventional production and marketing methods, Bad Bubble’s indie approach is indeed indie. A totally independent artist who has been on quite a unique creative journey that has seen him gradually but surely improve, developing a sonic fingerprint and a steadily growing fan base.
‘Sprinkler’ features one of Bad Bubble’s most evocative compositions, and some of his most touching and well written vocals. A melodic, melancholic trip, ‘Sprinkler’ is built around Bad Bubble’s elegant piano chords, soulful percussion, and lush atmospherics. Featuring also 4-part harmonies, ‘Sprinkler’ is among Bad Bubble’s most ambitious and musically striking releases to date. The processing on his vocals is what lends this piece its likeness to M83’s Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming era balladry.
A wonderful and dazzling listen full of soft chord changes and well structured melodies, ‘Sprinkler’ sees Bad Bubble improving, growing more into his element, displaying more of his distinctive creative talents in a gentler, more composed, and cohesive way.
