Establishing a mood with intricate plucked bass with celestial guitar detailing, BUZZKILL JOY opens his debut single, birthday cake, with the thought provoking and situational lyrics, “Birthday cake and strawberry laces, define myself with familiar faces, give me what I want but not what I need…”
birthday cake expands into a melodic alt-pop frequency with immersive guitars, divergent add libs and meaningful lyrics. Speaking on his artistry, BUZZKILL JOY says, “I’m a genre-fluid lil punk in pink from the North of England that always aims to surprise, excite and energise.”
Elaborating on the meaning of the track, BUZZKILL JOY confesses birthday cake is all about money, the rising artist says, “This song follows main character, Billy, in the pursuit of monetary wealth at the expense of social wealth. Chasing the value of money over the value of family, friends and memories. It fits in with the larger storyline that sees Billy’s pursuit of money and the ultimate price he pays for it…”. We love how you can spell the name Billy in order with the letters of BUZZKILL JOY, genius.
With a mission to manifest abundance with lyrics such as “So give me my green, and my bars and my gold, rewards for all I sold…”, BUZZKILL JOY also has a concept EP on the way. He says, “I’ll combine genres with meaningful lyrics and a cross-EP storyline to give the world a debut EP of youthful energy and rebelliousness, yet grounded in maturity and focus.”
We have added birthday cake to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we wait in anticipation for BUZZKILL JOY‘s upcoming EP!
