It’s that time of year once more, when I embark on the exciting task of identifying emerging artists and captivating pop newcomers poised to make a significant impact in the year ahead. One artist who has caught my attention is googly eyes, hailing from Houston. It is with their infusion of artistic pop sensibilities that make them a compelling and promising choice. Furthermore, the collaboration between Neon Gold Records and Tove Lo‘s label Pretty Swede Records to sign googly eyes speaks volumes about the high calibre of their music and the industry’s confidence in their potential.

While demonstrating the newcomer’s masterful grasp of captivating production and ear-catching melodies.

Noticeably, the crisp, glitchy track “Internet Star” is her most notable release to date. Yet “Brand New Bitch” the latest focus single also powerfully captivates me with googly’s alluring fusion blend of soft sonics, twinkly electronics and breezy vocal chants. In addition, it very much sounds like there is a Tove Lo guest appearance, notably elevating the chorus section further.
“Starlet” is a sweet little tasting menu of six songs, each pulled from a different corner of my emotions. It’s a full palette: moments of reckless abandon, doubt, confidence, anger, optimism, and deep love — all pieced together from stories I’ve been living and weaving over the past year.
