This week is brimming with spooky tracks as music artists seek that perfect Halloween hit. While many are following trends, I’m excited to shine a light on some hidden treasure. Enter the collaboration between two remarkable South African alternative pop artists. The trailblazing singer-songwriter Cece Vee and the multi-talented, singer-songwriter Nic Billington. Their captivating track, “BITE,” breaks away from the conventional eerie sounds. And instead offers an electrifying experience that’s sure to leave a mark.
FACT. Some of the most recognised tracks that end up on Halloween playlists are in fact great pop songs and not overly spooky by any means. It was the 80s that gave us some of the best-loved ones. Namely, “Ghostbusters” by Ray Parker Jnr, “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell and Michael Jackson‘s iconic “Thriller.” i.e. it’s not a bad era to seek inspiration from.
Crafting the track “BITE” with meticulous attention to detail, accordingly they employ pulsating synthesizer beats. These not only evoke a vibrant sense of 80s nostalgia but also immerse listeners in a rich, layered soundscape. This blend seamlessly integrates an otherworldly dark pop vibe, adding a unique, edgy aesthetic that captivates and intrigues, in equal measure.
In their lyrics, Cece Vee and Nic Billington fully inhabit the personas of vampires, furthermore, painting vivid imagery of their nocturnal hunts for fresh blood. This quest isn’t merely a means of survival. Moreover, it symbolizes a deeper yearning for immortality, encapsulating the timeless allure and mystique of the undead. As they evoke this chilling narrative, they invite listeners to explore the darker corners of their imagination. Thus, making their music a chilling yet entrancing homage to the season of spooks and thrills.
