Emerging from London’s fertile underground music scene, BUZZKILL JOY is a pretty unique artist. We’d be hard-pressed to pinpoint him to any specific genre. In wider terms, he explores cinematic pop and soft punk-rock, all infused with a good amount of electronic elements. It is this heterogeneity that makes his lyricism relevant: BUZZKILL JOY is a storyteller at the core, and perhaps that’s how we should look at his music, globally speaking.
Debuting earlier this year, the British talent released ‘birthday cake’ and ‘LEHMAN WEEKEND’, the latter inspired by real events surrounding the collapse of banking giant Lehman Brothers. If we take into account BUZZKILL JOY’s latest release, ‘Money Money Money’, a pattern emerges: capitalism is looked at with deep criticism, exploring the relationship between greed and people.
Ok, leaving the witty talk aside for a moment: ‘Money Money Money’ is a bubbly, exuberant banger, a refined pop journey into the London-resident artistic universe. Featuring an electronic production, the song resolves into a haunting, anthemic and epic chorus, truly affirming BUZZKILL JOY’s musical prowess.
Specifically, the record focuses on the circumstances around BA’s pandemic mass staff dismissal: a move motivated by money which opens up a wider discussion on the heartless nature of our contemporary financial landscape.
Overall, a welcome third single by BUZZKILL JOY! Looking forward to hearing more.
