Native of Toronto with Portuguese roots, Vicky Rai is a singer-songwriting thoroughbred with a refined trajectory about as long as her lifespan. Vicky is a master songwriter who forms a bond with her listener through her skillfully relatable songs exploring the complexities of relationships and her own emotions. She is first and foremost a voice of empathy and authenticity amidst a universal sense of generational turmoil.
In many ways “Bad Decision” is a classic breakup anthem, it’s like flipping the bird with a catchy chorus and a killer, danceable beat. In this track, Vicky makes her umbrage known with particularly sharp words that seem to cut both ways, on one hand, she’s angry that her ex was self-absorbed, but on the other, there seems to be some underlying sourness aimed at herself for the time and emotional energy she invested in this disappointing relationship.
The one thing that will jump out at you every time while listening to Vicky is her amazing vocals, which always bear the countenance of great power even at their most casual, it’s as if she’s always about to belt out some earth-shaking notes. This coupled with the relatively minimalistic, snappy production makes for one hell of a listening experience that points to the great potential that this young artist has in store for us.
“In writing ‘Bad Decision’, my objective was to create something super lighthearted, witty, and fun. At the same time, the inspiration behind it stemmed from a personal experience with an ex-boyfriend who ended up prioritizing his friends and cars over our relationship. Good times!”
