Love has a raw, unpredictable feel, and that's precisely the juice Max Ceddo tries to squeeze out in his effortlessly irresistible indie pop/rock anthem, "Loverboy." Famous for incorporating glitches and waves of electronica into a wall of alt-rock, Ceddo has created a song that manages to be fierce and vulnerable all at once.
At once contemporary yet timeless, "Loverboy" explores the emotional extremes that love leads us to. The tune begins with a subtle electronic pulse that turns into indie rock waves. The back-and-forth between these moments reflects the effort of dancing around the high stakes that an entire relationship can carry, one minute, you're floating on a high and the next, you're floating away. Ceddo scales up this see-saw feeling with his layered vocals, ranging from a smooth, almost lazy pitch to an emotive cry for comprehension.
"Loverboy" is an emotional odyssey. A resident of the bustling New York City indie scene, Ceddo offers up his signature sound on the track, a blend of rock, pop, and electronic sensibilities that resonate as something deeply felt while also universally experienced. Ceddo's voice is the anchor in this sea of disparities, a duet between a pair of gentlemen bringing you through the highs and lows of love and happiness. "Loverboy" shows how Ceddo successfully weaves the genre's trademark fuzz and distortion with more introspective lyrics. It's a song about confidence, doubt, passion, and frustration. In a music world often full of shallow portrayals of love, "Loverboy" seems real and introspective.
Max Ceddo's remarkable way of blending influences from pop rock, indie rock, and electronic and creating a song that seems so seamless is what makes "Loverboy" such a standout. The song is a fitting example of what it feels like to be swept up in love as unpredictable as intoxicating.

Fans of alternative rock and indie pop will be attracted to Ceddo's ability to reconcile openness and power. Let Max Ceddo take you on a ride of love's most extreme emotions.
