We talk about Googly Eyes at the end of 2023 following its single His music then transmitted the innovation of the first Imogen Heap, but also the freshness of current electronic pop artists such as Tove Styrke or Cashmere Cat.
The creativity of Googly Eyes productions, together with the efficiency of its melodies, because it after all has a foot in the world of commercial pop, have produced lately as recommended as ‘Brand New Bitch’ or ‘Internet Star’. Both are part of ‘Starlet’, their 2024 minidisk.
The next phase in Googly Eyes’s career is a collaboration with Tove Lo and Flume that has materialized in several recordings during the last year. The first one that has been made known is ‘I Don’s Go Out’ and it is the song of today.
‘I Don’s Go out’ is an amazing sample of the exciting pop that these three artists are able to create together. Googly Eyes puts lyrics and melody, Tove probably helps in composition, and Flume makes his wrapping the song in a whirlwind of digital distortions. ‘I Don’s Go out’ is a piece that works thanks to its contrasts: between the sweetness of the melody and the glitch corpulence of production, between pop emotion and sound experimentation taken to the limit.
In the background, ‘I Don’s Go out’ is a simple love song about the feeling of comfort and security generated by the company of the loved one. In the world of Googly Eyes, the house sofa is the entire disco it needs, its “VIP room.” The song of the song makes it very clear: “I don’t go out if I’m with you.”
