Nicky MacKenzie Shares New Single ‘Come Back’
Canadian singer-songwriter Nicky MacKenzie shares her brand new single Come Back, the latest single to be taken from her forthcoming EP, MORALS.
Produced by Herag Sanbalian, Come Back finds the talented artist singing about knowing something is bad for you but still returning to it over and over again. A relatable song that expresses feelings of vulnerability and self awareness – when you know you’re doing something wrong but you’re stuck in a cycle of hunger and madness. This relatable message is flawlessly conveyed through MacKenzie's rich, soulful vocals and passionate delivery that instantly makes me feel each and every single word she is singing. Backing her lush vocals and dreamy harmonies, I am very fond of the delicate guitar plucks which are nicely paired with cool atmospherics and a captivating trap-inspired beat that come together to create an overall warm, intimate atmosphere perfect for an introspective day home alone.
Speaking about the song, Nicky MacKenzie said,
I actually wrote this song a long time ago before COVID when I was taking audio engineering at school in Vancouver. I was first developing the songwriting styles I knew I liked and “Come Back” came as a very fluid, lyrical, and almost experimental song at the time. Sometimes I like to write songs without thinking too much, almost word vomit the lines out and then figure out what it means after. It’s a good way to dig deep and surprise yourself. This was one of my first attempts at that and there are a lot of metaphors in this song for things I was going through at the time.
