Sid Batham is heading in a more refined direction on new cut “Like I Do” following a three year long hiatus.
Sid Batham’s new track is a soul-tinged banger in the style of Prince and DāM-FunK with nods to all manner of glossy ‘80s pop. Recorded in between London’s RAK Studios and Batham’s bedroom, “Like I Do” is a magnificent pop offering that combines sickly sweet vocal, shimmering guitar and thumping rhythm into one giant funkalicious explosion.
