London-based artist Teddy Jackson, who we previously featured for his songs Freak, and LICK makes a powerful entrance with his latest opus, BMB. In this high-energy anthem, Teddy reconnects with his masculinity, exuding confidence over growling basslines and punchy percussion that captivate from start to finish.
Embracing his lower vocal register, Teddy delivers sexually-charged lyrics, channeling a more masculine energy than his previous work. “I’ve really loved reconnecting with my masculinity,” he shares. “When I first came out, I was eager to explore my femininity and felt disillusioned with my own masculinity due to the toxic societal expectations I grew up with. It wasn’t until I started unlearning these toxic viewpoints that I could truly embrace my masculine side, just as I had embraced my femininity.”
The music video for BMB, which is also directed by Teddy himself, is a masterclass in provocative visuals. Embodying the “sexy mechanic” fantasy, Teddy appears with an oiled body adorned with tattoos and chains. He transforms the hyper-masculine environment of a mechanic’s garage through a queer lens, with tongue-in-cheek gestures and glimpses of vintage male model cutouts, culminating in a climactic homoerotic wrestling match.
BMB represents a significant evolution in Teddy Jackson‘s artistic journey, showcasing his dynamic presence within the queer music scene and underscoring his creativity and artistic vision.
Teddy Jackson, originally from New Zealand, was passionate about pop culture and entertainment from a young age. Seeking more opportunities, he moved to London, where he studied Music Production and Business. After working in music PR, he became a freelancer to focus on his creative projects. Teddy has built a diverse career as a director, producer, creative director, and performer, with his work featured in various prominent platforms. Inspired by pop icons like Charli XCX and Ashnikko, he creates bold, queer pop music.
We love what the rising star is creating, and have added BMB to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TRIPPY playlist, whilst we continue to stream LICK, and anticipate future releases from the talented creator!
