LOUD WOMEN is thrilled to premiere ‘Sicko’ by Los Angeles-born, London-based multidisciplinary artist Veronica Bianqui.
Ahead of Bianqui’s sophomore album, Use Once Then Destroy, out this Friday, 13 November via NX Records, ‘Sicko’ delivers sharp commentary with a punk edge. Slick bass lines and a danceable rhythm drive lyrics that expose the power dynamics behind who gets labelled the real ‘sicko’.
“‘Sicko’ started with me thinking about who gets labelled a villain and who doesn’t. I became fascinated by the way the media and public discourse can decide who’s considered ‘crazy,’ ‘dangerous,’ or beyond redemption, while people in positions of power often escape that same scrutiny. That idea became the jumping-off point for the song, but I wanted to approach it with a sense of humour rather than write something overtly political. It’s danceable, a bit tongue-in-cheek, but underneath it there’s a real frustration with how easily narratives are constructed—and how quickly we’re encouraged to accept them.”
