Tom Tikka & the Missing Hubcaps-Something New
Tom Tikka & the Missing Hubcaps change people’s perspective on music. In an age where machines are on their path to takeover-here comes something irreplaceable. With poetry that is touching and compositions that dissolve boundaries, Tom Tikka returns with another heartfelt composition. This is his latest single, Something New. It’s what we all search for. Embroiled in purpose, meaning and the need for inspiration. It is the spice you want in your life, and the life you want in your songs. Tom Tikka & the Missing Hubcaps go back a few decades with their composition style. This is a ballad, with strings flowing like something you’d dance the waltz to. It still keeps Tom’s voice as the spotlight, while emotive currents and symphonies form a whirlpool. They still take cues and elements from electronic beats, instead of echoing the orchestra drums. It is the marriage of old with the new very few achieve, which Tom Tikka and the Missing Hubcaps achieve marvellously. It would fit in any Disney movie, where talented singers have shown their simple side that evokes emotion and drama. Simple and innocent enough for even children to well up. I would love to hear this in the original 1992 Aladdin. Staying with the theme, Tom Tikka also infuses elements that had started to change the music landscape around then. It is a powerful song of love, change and learning in life. His 2021 album This Is My Happy Face is some of his best work, coercive yet relatable to all.
