Azadeh & Index Dex – Ricochet | Alternative Fruit

Azadeh & Index Dex
Ricochet


It's a privilege to be asked to write about this brilliant act from Omnivi3e. The first half of which is Azadeh, she's toured with Jools Holland, Grammy Award winner Robert Cray, and Spice Girl Melanie C. Index Dex is best known for his session work with several celebrity acts, he's also performed on his own at Notting Hill Festival, a grass-roots entertainment party in London. This duo of luminary talents bring us Ricochet.


A double edged vocal opens the track with bursts of sustained tone. A rhythm builds in plucked notes that evolves into a ska beat. Up-strokes on the off-beat give a buoyancy and uplifting vibe. Happy drums bounce and lyrics rhyme in neat lines. The song is about saying things that might be true in one context yet in another could do damage. Friendly fire or a well-planned ricochet, the contents of our ugly heart can be revealed even when we think we're in the right.
