Review:
Slayyyters “hey boyyy” dropped on November 6, and is part of the artists upcoming album titled wor$t man in america which is set to release December 4th of this year. This release was paired with a self-directed music video, depicting the artist going on romantic dates with a golden skeleton. The song describes the feeling of having a huge crush on someone, where the attraction becomes difficult to hide. Relatable to those overthinking the short interaction they had with someone they like. Slayyyter, born Catherine Grace Garner is an American singer and songwriter. She is known for her experimental pop sound, blending pieces of hyperpop, electronic music, and Y2K inspired pop.
In “hey boyyy”, she combines energetic production, catchy hooks, and playful lyrics to capture the excitement and nervousness of a new crush. The song starts with a bubbly pop sound before building into a much more intense, high energy outro. As the song progresses, the production becomes increasingly distorted and chaotic, almost reflecting the feeling of getting carried away by your own emotions. Her vocals also become more aggressive toward the end, contrasting with the sweeter sound of the beginning. The whole song feels like it’s meant for jumping up and down at a club with your friends.
