The track was written by the artist and friend Mercy Sophia when they were just eight years old.
On her spiky and energetic new punk rock single ‘Boy Obsessed’, rising alternative artist RobinAugust provides a more modern and harder hitting version of a track that she first brought to life with fellow artist and long-time friend Mercy Sophia when they were just 10 years old.
The young art of the artists when they put the track together (they wrote it even two years before they brought it to life when they were just eight), means that ‘Boy Obsessed’ was never going to be the most complicated or nuanced single in the world, but there is a really palpable sense of intensity and energy that rings through the emphatic guitars and raucous vocal performances here, making for a simplistic, but catchy and memorable listening experience that feels fun and intoxicating in its youthful charm and innocence. ‘Boy Obsessed’ is a track that shows that sometimes things can just be brash and fun for the sake of being brash and fun, a track that was brought to life just to be entertaining and loud, and one that does its job immaculately.
