We recently featured Giack Bazz for his captivating and dimensional ode to our lunar satellite, The Moon Is Painted, so when we heard that the talented creator was back with Only Fans, we were curious to say the least, and couldn’t wait to listen and share our experience.
Setting the tone with an intricate guitar performance and an astral frequency, with an overarching emotive and contemplative energy, Giack Bazz opens Only Fans with tangible depth as he sings the metaphorical construct, “If it’s true that one’s company and two is a crowd, there were three many people singing too loud…”
The composition expands with wisdom and a unique perspective as Giack Bazz shares his soul, vulnerability and authenticity with the world. Speaking on the release of Only Fans, Giack confesses, “The song is a figurative razor-sharp dagger pointed at the back of the music industry, the struggles of an artist in a sea of influencers, the grassroots venues, the shameless plug of one’s own music as a search for attention.”
In a marketing campaign that breaks the fourth wall, Giack Bazz allows his intrusive thoughts to hijack his social media persona to convey a message: “How distant from the adult content industry is making music nowadays? Selling one’s own body is not that different from “buying” streams and bot-led playlists just to satisfy the craving of acknowledgement?”
The sonic direction of the track is sublime, and the personal conviction that Giack Bazz conveys feels poignant and zeitgeist. In today’s music industry, traditional methods of gaining visibility are declining, leading artists to resort to unconventional tactics. This pressure can compromise artistic integrity as artists prioritize virality over authenticity. The rise of influencer culture further blurs the lines between musicians and marketers. Despite these challenges, emerging technologies and grassroots movements offer hope for artists to regain control over their careers.
The music video for Only Fans is a collaboration with model Alexandra Pinheiro, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. The visual will debut on a genuine OnlyFans page, a move orchestrated by Giack Bazz to provoke discussion. The intention is to prompt viewers to contemplate the commercialization of music and the distorted state of the industry. Giack aims to challenge the notion that viewers would only engage with the music video due to its sexual content, highlighting the complexities of the modern music landscape. There is even a scandalous scene that reminds us of Lady Gaga’s cancelled music video with R Kelly.
We love the message that Giack Bazz manifests with his art, and the visionary mindset that he has tapped into to bring Only Fans to life. We have added the song to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Giack’s wider discography, including Come Te, and The Moon Is Painted, and anticipate future releases from the talented creator!
