The second single from the newly launched record label, Sick, is now available. Titled "Scream Your Name," the song is a collaborative effort between Nick Valensi of The Strokes, producer Mr Hudson, and singer-songwriter Aziya. Aziya describes the track as a "lovelorn jaunt" that explores the complexities of an unhealthy relationship.
The song, characterized by thumping rhythms and a distorted guitar, was an experimental process for the artists involved. Aziya aimed for an ironically fun feel despite the lyrical theme of an unhealthy relationship, viewing the song as a build-up to a breaking point.
Sick, founded by Carré Callaway (Queen Kwong), Darian Zahedi, and Nick Hinman, released its inaugural single in September. The label's mission is to connect artists from diverse generations, genres, and locations through single releases, offering a supportive community and agency to musicians.
Callaway expressed a desire for Sick to foster a grassroots community and encourage artists to take risks. She acknowledges the inherent uncertainty in the music industry but emphasizes the necessity of bold artistic endeavors for the label's success.
