The song begins with unusual percussion sounds accompanied by a jazzy double bass,\u00a0creating an entertaining and delightful mood. As Butler&#8217;s melodic vocals arrive in the mix, the song changes into a sound familiar with Britpop superstars like Supergrass and Blur, with additional\u00a0elements of 1960s Beatles-type vocal\u00a0harmonies. The arrangement is both nostalgic and innovative, with the double bass leading the rhythm through an\u00a0organic\u00a0style, avoiding the use of drum machines or excessively polished production. The use of backing vocals and &#8220;random noises&#8221; adds a dimension of playfulness to the song, improving its character and making the recording feel real and in\u00a0someway experimental. I&#8217;m Happy If You&#8217;re Happy is an adventurous\u00a0pop song that combines elegance and interesting experimentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I&#039;m Happy if You&#039;re Happy by SICKY\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oNfJLw9w7eY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo Credit: SICKY photo by Helen Marshall<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sicky2.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/sicky2.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sicky333\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sicky333<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sickyb\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sickyb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mick Butler&#8217;s solo project SICKY provides a pleasantly strange but professional\u00a0track with &#8220;I&#8217;m Happy If&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26043,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[2248,2352],"class_list":["post-26042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-brit-pop","tag-sicky"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26042"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26042\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26088,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26042\/revisions\/26088"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
