Like most weeks, some submissions come with EPK’s attached while others bid to pique my interest with a solitary preview link. flyckt<\/strong> was presented to me via the latter. Sometimes this can be the best approach to getting noticed. I always know there is something more to the story when a publicist fires me over a link, first. I had no prejudgement about the flyckt track “Love Is Overrated<\/strong>,” I was hit by a wave of intrigue upon checking out the dark pop, indie synth track. It wasn’t until release day arrived, and I found the press release had been snuck into my inbox as promised. I learned that flyckt was the lead singer for the now-disbanded Swedish group Urban Cone<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have covered Urban Cone for the blog<\/a><\/strong>. I recall the music style being reasonably upbeat and chirpy and synth-pop leaning, in parts. In his solo project (Rasmus<\/strong>) flyckt<\/strong> begins by going several shades darker, musically. The mood is guided by brooding beats and a booming bassline. Stabbing piano chords assist with creating a tidal wave of dramatic and emboldened melody. The lyrics are raw and exposing, as the day they were first written. flyckt admits this undertaking to be a scary and vulnerable process at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Listen<\/a>\n\n\n\n
