Emerging indie band Split Second unveils a deeply resonant and soulful offering with their latest single, “Addicted to Love.” A seamless blend of influences from Fleetwood Mac, Arctic Monkeys, Blondie, and Oasis, the track is a vibrant indie ballad that marks an exciting evolution in the band’s journey.
Produced by Gavin Monaghan at Magic Garden Studio and penned by guitarist Levi Husbands, “Addicted to Love” delves into the intense highs of love and the emotional withdrawal that follows a breakup. With bittersweet lyrics and anthemic energy, the single masterfully captures the addictive rush of romantic connection and the yearning that lingers when it's gone.
The track is particularly significant for Split Second, as it represents the first fully developed song from their reformed lineup, featuring Ava on vocals and Louiz on bass. Ava’s emotive delivery elevates the song’s introspective narrative, while the tight instrumentation underscores the band’s cohesive and dynamic sound. “‘Addicted to Love’ is more than just a love song—it’s where the band truly began to bond, finding the creativity and shared purpose we’d been striving for,” Ava reflects.
As part of their forthcoming full-length album, Love Life Cycle (set for release in 2025), “Addicted to Love” sets the tone for what promises to be a compelling collection of tracks. With heartfelt storytelling and vibrant soundscapes, Split Second continues to push their creative boundaries, making them a standout in today’s indie music scene.
