Lil Nas X prepares the launch of a new project called ‘Dreamboy’, of which the advances ‘Light Again’ and ‘Need Dat Boy’ already know. Today Monday, Montero launches the starting cut and, next Friday, he takes another theme called ‘Hotbox’.
In ‘Dreamboy’, Montero reflects on his fame and the difficulties he faces lately to revive the popularity of his first years. In fact, the letter of ‘Dreamboy’ refers to his “fall” and includes a reference to his cursed single, ‘J Christ’: just like Jesus Christ, Lil Nas X resurrects. And Montero does it before, because he barely counts 25 years.
In ‘Dreamboy’, the “Controversy King” presents the typical Beath Switch typical of current pop, although this time it is not so marked, but natural. The song goes from a vaguely psychedelic first part that reminds of Tyler, The Creator or Childish Gambino, a second influenced by the melodic trap, including a very obvious reference to Missy Elliott and his “Freaky Freakys.” Like his previous singles, ‘Dreamboy’ is again a correct song, but not comparable to the glue of his best songs. Where is the ax that wrote a melody as good as that of ‘Old Town Road’?
The visual aesthetics of ‘Dreamboy’, on the other hand, remembers that of the ‘Up Out My Face’ video clip by Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, because we must not forget that Minaj is the great idol of Lil Nas X: in ‘Dreamboy’ they refer to her any of her flows.
The author of ‘Montero’ (2021) still does not announce the details of ‘Dreamboy’, but the premiere of the starting track just any Monday that the launch of the album is approaching.
