Vic August – ‘Withdrawals’

17 year old Northern Territory artist Vic August provides a grooving blend of hip hop and funk/pop with his latest offering ‘Withdrawals’, providing an upbeat take on an emotionally driven context deep in the lyrics.

Coming off the release of ‘Bandit’ amassing over 700,000 streams on Spotify, ‘Withdrawals’ maintains the trademark auto-tuned vocal melodies of August whilst showcasing a depth in his musical composition. Produced by RDY, the instrumentation within this piece focuses on a punchy percussion striking through the mix, as well as the funk influenced guitar riff stylings and the silky bass that combines for quite the charismatic momentum. With the accompanying video showcasing various scenic images with the silhouette of Vic August in front, the eeriness that lies in the context of ‘Withdrawals’ is accentuated that little bit further and heightened significantly.
