Rick Christian brings a new intensity on single, "Madness"
Infusing a new and higher intensity into the mix on his latest, “Madness”, Rick Christian has further amplified his already eclectic sound. We are loving this one! Read on as we share our complete thoughts on this powerful song.
Rick Christian's latest single “Madness” is a massive and haunting journey into a dystopian future that will leave listeners both mesmerized and left in awe. The electronic dark dance track showcases Christian's otherworldly and futuristic sound, which he claims is brought to us from Edmonton in the year 2085 as an inter-dimensional time traveler. It’s easily his most in your face track that we’ve experienced yet and an even better reason to hit the play button.
“Madness” is the second release from Christian in 2023, following his earlier release “Deranged Machine”. The lyrics are a warning of a bleak future where the world is controlled by a few corporations, known as the "Overlords," who have stripped humans of their individuality and freedoms, and unfortunately that doesn’t seem too far off from today’s standards. Christian's escape from this terrifying future to come back to the present to warn us of the impending doom is a gripping storyline that is both fascinating and chilling.
The track itself is a showcase of Christian's immense talent as a musician and producer. The dark and brooding atmosphere of the song is created through the use of pounding drums, pulsing synths, and Christian's expressive vocals. This time around though compared to previous songs, his intent and delivery somehow feels more personal. Of course the messaging is in your face, but the tone in which he sings and evokes has to be the standout. Particularly, the chorus was super impactful, with Christian's voice soaring over the intense electronic beats and sending shivers down the spine.
“Madness” is a timely reminder of the power of music to not only entertain but to convey important messages about the world around us. Rick Christian's inter-dimensional time-traveling persona and unique sound make him an exciting addition to the world of electronic music, and this latest single is a must-listen for anyone interested in futuristic and dystopian themes. Listen to this first, but do not forget to do a deep exploration into everything else he’s shared with the world.
