The track follows the release of the artist’s alluring previous single ‘what if it ends?’
A track that has a thoughtful and reflective feel to it while continuing to showcase the character and charm that has punctuated Sidney‘s engrossing alternative pop sound, ‘sliding doors’ is a track that explores the choices that we make in life and the lasting impact that they have on us, creating hypothetical branching paths in everything that we do.
More specifically, the track explores a relationship and the two very different futures that you could have if you break up or if you don’t. Inspired by the movie of the same name ‘sliding doors’ is a track that has a really poignant feel to it throughout, and the weight and gravity of the situations and tough choices that have to be made are reflected within the artist’s shimmering and instantly engrossing sound.
Of the track she shares: “I was still holding onto the belief that if I just pushed hard enough, maybe it could still work. But sometimes, choosing one path is what shows you the truth about what you actually wanted. With its light/dark contrast and undercurrent of emotional unrest, Sliding Doors sonically captures the emotional tug-of-war at the heart of the EP, sitting right at the tipping point between fantasy and clarity.”
