Nicky William Unveils New Single "#1 Sad Guy"

Swedish singer/songwriter Nicky William has just unveiled his brand new single, #1 Sad Guy, taken from his debut album, Set your loved ones free, we have you surrounded, out now.

If you're into indie-pop/folk than you'll love this track. What drew me in was the guitar chords and his trembling low-key vocals. Those vocals are AMAZING!! The track has somewhat of a nonchalant vibe to it and I'm just hooked to its infectious melodies. Nicky proves he's got an old soul with his music and lyrics. Stream this track below!

Nicky grew up listening to artists such as Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith, Nick Cave and the bad seeds, Radiohead, St. Vincent, Andrew Bird, Fiona Apple, and Wilco. You can clearly spot such influences in his debut album which you can stream below!

My favourite tracks, apart from #1 Sad Guy, are Medicine, Funeral Fight and Hurricane. This 7-track project showcases his storytelling talents through delivering brutally honest lyrics through beautiful instrumental arrangements and an overall melancholic vibe to it.
