For a brief moment, I found myself torn over whether to feature today’s track. The title “F*cking Myself” had me questioning if I could genuinely write a blog about it. After some back-and-forth reflection and fueled by my admiration for this artist. I ultimately decided to share the latest release from Zee Machine. At first glance, the explicit title seems crafted for shock value. However, when you listen closely, the lyrical content reveals a deeper narrative. It thoughtfully explores vital themes of body image, confidence, and self-worth, making it a compelling track worth discussing.
Notably, the track by Zee Machine powerfully explores the theme of receiving superficial compliments about one’s appearance, i.e, using the terms handsome or beautiful. Notably it prompts a deeper reflection on whether those giving such praise ever consider the inner beauty that truly defines a person. As an artist, Zee questions whether people are genuinely interested in him or just captivated by his looks. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing the hard work and dedication he puts into refining his artistry. And additionally to bring in a touch of humour and absurdity to the serious nature of the topic, he cheekily concludes the chorus with, “If I woke up in your body I would be f*cking myself.” Lyrics which leaves the listener entertained and thoughtful.
Above all, the track embraces the pop-rock style that fans have come to expect from Zee Machine. However, the incorporation of spoken word interludes adds a fresh dimension, reminiscent of Chappell Roan’s captivating approach in her stunning debut album, “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.” Moreover, I truly believe that Chappell’s impressive success and her bold, authentic lyricism have the potential to inspire Zee Machine to explore a similar artistic direction. This year, listeners have wholeheartedly embraced this unapologetic style of storytelling, which creates a genuine connection with fans. It’s a relatable way to engage, akin to chatting with friends. This is undoubtedly, why Gen Z has rallied around Chappell in the past twelve months. It’s a compelling opportunity for Zee Machine to follow suit and capture that same audience.
