A timeless-sounding rocker with a sense of impending doom, “Still Waiting” is a memorable single from Ricky Haze. The production traverses from a nostalgic doo-wop feeling into a sweltering rock passion. “The world’s about to end,” the vocals declare, complemented by backing vocal harmonizing as the playful percussion accelerates. The howling vocal assumption re-ignites the commiseration of feeling like the world is ending, enthralling with twangy guitar adornments. “Still Waiting” is a standout showing from Ricky Hazy.
“I wrote this song one quiet afternoon, with the windows cracked,” Ricky Haze says. “It encapsulates coming to terms with a crumbling environment around us. It’s a very revivalist rock inspired tune, but with a warble. I am revealing a new world, which will come into full view in the form of 6 more songs, and one more single in the summer of 2024. This is the first of them.”

Great song! A lot of 60’s feel to it. Not many bands sound like this nowadays. And with a modern production.
