Having built up an initial swell of momentum with his initial releases, Los Angeles artist Joey data looks set to continue his recent ascent with the release of ‘California Rocket Fuel’, a thoughtful and nuanced new release that continues to highlight his nuance as an artist.

The track is split into two, between ‘Part One’ and ‘California Rocket Fuel’, with the former being a well-received TikTok mini-song that has been turned into something of an intro for the track. The track has a really driving and rousing feel to it throughout, often going through plateaus and more introspective passages before bursting to life again in a flurry of drums and guitars. The track has a really raucous sense of fun to it when it gets going, bursting to life almost like a rebirth in a sense after a slow and satisfying build that feels endlessly gratifying and cathartic. While the track is split into two, it feels only necessary to experience it as a whole, with the payoff feeling altogether more climatic in all of its intended, almost six minute long glory.
