All music is self-published under the BujuRocks label, maintaining complete creative control over the artistic direction and production quality.”

Though I’m still not sure what this artist stands for, if their images are real or AI, or whether their song is real or AI-enhanced. We can only use our eyes and ears. No doubt, it’s a nice presentation and musical package to unwrap.

So let’s have a listen …

My first impression of this Single is that it goes on too long, although it’s an EDM dance track which does occasionally go long. I’m not particularly digging the distorted bass which is driving underneath the whole song. The notes are fine, just not the distortion. I do like the clear vocals that come in occasionally, “Hey Boy!” “Do You Love Me?”.

Nice fade at the song end. I don’t find this song to be quite as hypnotic or entrancing as CALLNOMORE, the last song I reviewed from this artist and ranked as Excellent. I like the siren like keys/strings riff which comes in later in the song. It’s a very danceable beat, don’t get me wrong, just not digging it as much as the prior song. Might make a good album track though.

SCORE/Good: An extremely well-produced track, no issues with the sound of this track in terms of mixing and mastering. I think the song arrangement could be more inventive and less repetitive. Definitely falls in the EDM genre and would nicely fit on an album from this artist. Much love, Beth

“With all these thoughts running through my mind I decided to listen to the album again the day after the election and the album felt beautifully different. It is alive in all the ways I want to be alive. When I got to “Living Life…” I started to cry because the lyrics had been written and performed in a silly sorta way, almost as a joke, but on that day it felt real: this is how I actually feel about being gay in this country right now… and it can be scary, very scary.”

“Why I made this album: “Sweaty Yeti” specifically was meant to end the album with a beautiful upbeat celebration of being queer, you can literally feel the joy when it starts and it moves around in an almost physical way; immersing the listener in the absolute joy of being fully free to be your truly authentic self without fear. That (song) is exactly what I needed to hear to give me the courage to not back down in fear, to keep the release date of this album as it was originally set, and to try to promote the fuck out of it.”

“I obnoxiously tell everyone about it, and I hope that all the queer and queer allies that read this will join me in spreading the word about my celebration of queer freedom. We must continue to fight for our rights to live authentically in this world without the fear of being oppressed, we must fight for the rights of anyone who is out there in the world living life Supergay.” – Johnny Stubbs (Yeticomplex), Tampa, Florida, USA.

I just hope that the Trump Administration doesn’t read this review and decide to ship Johnny off to Guantanamo. The struggle is real.

So let’s have a listen …

The album kicks off with the song Yeti That Walk. Appropriate title for an artist named Yeticomplex. This is a dancehall record with transcendental beats designed to make your body and feet move. The kind of music you might hear in a gay nightclub. Make that, should hear in a Supergay club.

Back to the track, the first thing you hear on the album is someone walking into the room and giving a very sassy “mmm, hmmm”. Then the hypnotic beat kicks into the vocal “Yeti That Walk”. I love the bass groove that picks up in the middle of the song. Some interesting keyboard riffage closes out the song, which ends with more footsteps.

Hats, Gloves, Shoes are the title and lyrics of the next song. Very strong keyboard riff. Sounds like programmed drums. “Hats, Gloves, Shoes”. I like the change in the bridge of the song and the Japanese sounding keys riff. The track fades out “Hats, Gloves, Shoes, You can never have enough!”

The next track is called Homosexual, which is also the lyrics. Fun song. I like the keyboard vamps on this song, interesting vocal rise in the song. I again really like the bass line that picks up in the middle of the song. Nice. This song will definitely get you up and dancing. Which is likely the point.

There’s not much in the way of lyrics on this album so far, but the dance beats are fun. It’s nice EDM genre music. Should come with it’s own light show! And poppers! 😉 This would be a good album for your next hometown rave.

The next song is Sugar Candy – Rewind Mix. The is the first song with any real vocals. I like the lyrics, but I’m not digging the voice. Which is not entirely true, I like the effected and reverb heavy vocals in the background. Not my favorite track. I do like the way the track ends.

The next track is Man on Man. Which starts off with a groovy bass line and an old move clip stating “at this time the penis is in a state of erection.” The track comes complete with its orgasm sounds. I love the drum mix that comes in later in the song. “Ready for ejaculation” says the movie announcer. The strong bass line makes this song very danceable. Nice.

The sixth song is titled Queer. Starts off with a steady drum beat, and enters the bass. Not digging this bass line as much, too muddy. Eventually, the keyboard riff comes in staccato bursts. “I’m queer, don’t like it? Steer clear.” I like the cheeky vocals on this song, very non-heterosexual. LOL

Meow – Kitten Mix starts off with a reference to “Miss Kitty”. This strange song almost has a Wizard of Oz feel about it. Very trippy bass line when it finally enters the song. Nice funk jazz guitar or keyboard riff in the middle straight into a brief Middle Eastern vibe. “Meow!” Very cinematic track.

The eighth song Glitter starts off with a bit of a spiritual vibe, but then a very interesting bass line enters the song, accompanied by space robot sounds. I like the ever-rising keyboard riff in the middle of the song. A song about glitter being everywhere, even “there’s glitter on my dick.”

Living Life… starts with a spoken word story. Just 0:49 seconds, just long enough to introduce the next song.

The tenth song on the album is the title cut Supergay. I love that it kicks off with a funk guitar riff. Then keyboards are added on top of the lyric “Supergay”, making it sound like the Curtis Mayfield song “Superfly”. Totally digging the vibe on this track, definitely my favorite song so far.

The album’s final track Sweaty Yeti starts off with snaps and a chordal keyboard riff, a steady drum beat. The keys reenter with a different vibe. Very nice funk single note guitar riff being played over the drums and keys.
The bass finally enters about halfway through the song. Low and rounded. I’m a sucker for any song that includes a funk guitar riff, aren’t you?

Well, overall, I liked 10 of the 11 songs on the album, which is very nicely constructed and fits squarely within the LGBTQ+ Dancehall EDM genre.

SCORE/Excellent: This album nails the LGBTQ Dancehall EDM genre! Yeticomplex has compiled an album of dope dance beats with a gay flair! The album is nicely produced and I really appreciate the funk guitars being included on the final two songs. Creates quite a danceable vibe. If you need an album for your next dance party or rave, grab this one! Much love, Beth

The post Yeticomplex – Supergay (Album Review) appeared first on Music Review World.

He hopes to seek to relate with everyone through his music, appealing to people’s senses and seeking common ground with their feelings and moods. Part of his methodology involves the belief that if his music comes from him personally with his authentically lived self-experiences, he can connect with people with the same level of authenticity through originality and personal touch as well.

Adding to his repertoire is his newest single titled ‘Come Back To You’. It is described as a dance EDM track which he has extremely high hopes for. It is a melancholic yet energetic track that is about the passionate burning love you feel for a specific person in your life. It’s intended to be relatable but still deliver with its classic EDM punches and emotional arc.

The song starts off promising and positive, with tender and shiny synth nodes in position with the arrangement of the kicks. The melange of synths that follows through is extremely intense, but bears a huge positive motif- I want to categorise it akin to the sounds of uplifting trance, but unfortunately, it stays within the realm of generic EDM.

I understand the hypersaws and the ‘eruption’ associated with songs like this, but it really comes off as a homogenous electronica track.

There is not much motivic variation or depth within this song, besides the slight modulation in the hypersaw’s chords and the vocals of the vocalist. It reminds me of some of the stock songs created for the ‘electronica’ section of the radio on Sims 4. It’s not an offensively bad song, by any means, but I feel like I’ve been spoilt with the depths of electronic music to where this seems almost superficial and soulless, contrary to what it is marketed to sound like.

I think this song would do well with people who typically favour music from people like Alan Walker. It bears the same level of positivity within the scope of his songs. If you’re used to songs with more depth, I don’t think this would appeal to you.

I think the artist should focus on adding more sonic depth to his music and also amend the mastering a little bit more, as the synthesis was a little murkier, sacrificing clarity for volume. Either way, it’s a great start to a long career in electronic music ahead, and there’s always time for him to hone his craft.

SCORE/Good: ‘Come Back To You’ is a typical EDM song that you would hear out in the mainstream these days. It has a definite positive motif to it, but it needs a little bit more dimensionality and depth. If you’re a fan of Alan Walker or NCT, you’d definitely adore this track.
