SA: Vaughn Prangley unveils Thick of It single

On the track, Prangley explores the concept of modern life and its overwhelming demands that can potentially engulf individuals. The song serves as a reminder of how easily people can succumb to routines, gradually forfeiting their individuality and purpose.

“In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it is all too easy to fall into a pattern of giving our lives away to society without fully realising the consequences,” he said. “From the pressures of conformity to the demands of our professional lives, we often find ourselves so caught up in the thick of it that we rarely even notice the mess that we are in. An often-meaningless cycle of routine and obligation.”

Prangley is known for his classical roots and his inclination to push the boundaries of musical norms. With a career that kicked off at a tender age, he has honed his craft to create a distinct and authentic sound that resonates deeply with his audience.

Emphasising the power of music, Prangley says that it’s more of an outlet than an escape for him. “My emotions are dealt with through music. I’m not afraid to share how I feel and no one should be. Vulnerability is important.”

The single follows his acclaimed 2022 debut album Destination Unknown.
