Bad Bubble’s latest EP, ‘Oh My God‘, is a masterful journey into sound that leaves you feeling as if you’ve experienced an emotional transformation in under 20 minutes. From the moment “War” opens with its oozy, fluid rhythms, the EP sets the stage for a personal and expansive narrative. The track is far from conventional; its rhythm sways like a stream of consciousness, unpredictable and free. Vocally, Bad Bubble delivers a performance that ebbs and flows, expanding and contracting with such intensity that it almost feels like the music is alive, growing and breathing with every passing second.
The mood shifts dramatically as we enter the second track, “Hogs.” This track brings a sense of urgency and excitement through its dazzling synths and intricate beatwork. The music propels itself forward, while the vocals twist and spiral, echoing the track’s increasing emotional complexity. The evolution of sound here feels like a push and pull, as the song swings between moments of tension and release. Bad Bubble’s ability to create a sense of movement within his music is on full display, making the listener feel overwhelmed and invigorated by the intensity of the sonic landscape.
“Over Here” ushers in the EP’s third chapter with a rhythmic assertiveness contrasting with the earlier tracks’ more free-flowing nature. The emphatic beats are met with melodic motifs that feel almost like a declaration, a turning point in the sonic narrative. As the song builds, layers of harmonies emerge, cascading and merging, creating a sense of transcendence. It’s a track that feels like an ascent, an elevation from the ground into something clearer and brighter, reflecting Bad Bubble’s artistic mastery in crafting songs, and telling stories through sound.
The EP reaches its emotional zenith with “Gus Died.” Here, the music takes on an almost ethereal quality, with delicate piano melodies that slowly climb in what feels like an organic, intentional movement. As the song progresses, the vocals materialize like a soft, mournful cloud, their melancholy infusing the track with such a palpable sense of loss that it’s hard not to feel deeply connected. Yet, in this sadness, there’s a sense of catharsis, an uplifting of the soul as the music ascends, offering a bittersweet release. This final track brings a perfect sense of closure as if the journey through grief, reflection, and realization has come to an emotionally satisfying end.
