Boredboi is back with a juiced-up burst of new energy on his single “Crazy”, which bursts onto the scene with melodic sophistication and modern pop-rap sheen. From the first moment the music opens up, it’s obvious Boredboi isn’t following trends but honing a sound that sounds distinctly like his, nimble and bright and built on hooks that refuse to vacate your head once they land there.
What powers “Crazy” is the sweet spot of warmth in his melodic baritone, offset against the song’s light, airy beat. The production itself carries a light, weightless feel that lends the track a breezy lilt, and you can almost picture the song accompanying after-hours, slow-burn summertime moments or any random moment when you want something easy and addictive in your headphones. The hook, in particular, is a strong suit, catchy, rhythmically gratifying, and delivered with an assurance that confirms Boredboi’s growing place within the pop-rap category.
What sets the track apart, though, is its present simplicity. Nothing feels overstuffed, yet everything feels purposeful. The vocal performance floats over each groove of the beat with laid-back cool, allowing Boredboi’s melodic sensibilities to take hold. It’s the sort of song that feels lightweight on the surface but doubles down on durability with each listen.
“Crazy” signals an exciting leap forward for Boredboi. It demonstrates his ability to write incredible, hooky music that doesn’t skimp on realness or feeling. Backed by clear production and an earworm of a chorus, this cuts through the fat and has you listening to an artist with something to say.
