Nicky Buell – savior / savor

From the opening bars of ‘savior / savor’, Nicky Buell stakes a bold claim: this is pop with heart, swagger and authenticity. His vocal delivery is polished yet intimate, switching between gliding melodies and confident bursts that refuse to stay tucked behind any bright production. The lyrical interplay between the ideas of “saving” and “savoring” love gives the track a clever duality one moment yearning, the next relishing the thrill of connection. I found myself drawn in by the crisp electronic textures and a hook that lingers, and the sense of representation is clear: Buell creates space for queer voices without ever letting that become the only story. It’s a refreshingly honest injection of joy and vulnerability, and I’m confident this one will resonate far beyond its first spin.
