Boy Jr. shares sophomore album I Love Getting Dumped!
Boy Jr. has released their sophomore album I Love Getting Dumped! to the world. The full length consists of a whopping thirteen tracks, all which deserve a listen. The overall theme of the album is a breakup and the stages and emotions that are felt as one goes through it.
I Love Getting Dumped! is a bold, genre-defying album that consolidates their reputation as one of alt pop music’s most daring and innovative artists. The album is a sonic journey that draws from pop, experimental electronic music, art-pop, and even hard rock, resulting in a record that is as hypnotic as it is emotionally charged. Boy Jr. draws listeners into a world where the boundaries between the digital and organic seem to blur. Standouts include “Bullying Myself” a groove-induced song all about how hard we are on ourselves. They sing, “I have become my own worst enemy.” “I Hope You Feel Terrible” is the heart of the album with the artist telling their parting words to their ex, things they wish they were able to say in the moment. “I’m Breaking Up With You” is a furious anger anthem, one that is a relatable and an intoxicating head banger. The song flips the script with the artist breaking up with the other instead!
In terms of production, the album is a masterclass in texture. It frequently shifts from lush, ambient soundscapes to moments of sharp, punchy pop. Boy Jr’s has a unique ability to blend mainstream pop accessibility with avant-garde experimentation. Check it out now and pass it along to your friends and family.
