Chicago-based synth-pop artist Bad Bubble unveils a heartfelt ballad with “Sprinkler,” whose gorgeous vocal harmonies flow seamlessly alongside melancholic piano and synth flourishes. The lead single from Bad Bubble’s new album The Triumph of the Puissant, “Sprinkler” exudes an honest sincerity — initially conveying a question of self-harm, and then attaining a powerful sense of perseverance in traversing through this pain. The result is a warming, reassuring call to those who feel forgotten — playing within a melodic production that fully showcases the stirring vocal harmonies.
A solemn, piano-driven emotion grips from the get-go. “Stay with me,” a beckoning vocal rise lets out, commencing the production’s consistently impressive vocal harmonies. The four-part harmonies linger throughout with impactful precision, not enhanced by any artificial elements. German producer Manou Bouillon directs a resonating sense of tonal clarity, emphasizing the powerful vocals amidst the steady piano, slight percussion, and assortment of string-like synths. A cathartic conclusion, imploring one to rid themselves of regrets, caps off this resonating success with satiating appeal.
