SINGLE REVIEW: Earth to Cheska - PART-TIME ROCKSTAR
‘PART-TIME ROCKSTAR’ is an ode to the highs and lows of chasing creative dreams in Los Angeles, balancing playful rebellion with a knowing wink at the struggles of maxed-out credit cards and glamorous indulgence. Earth to Cheska delivers it all with a cutesy, almost kawaii energy, blending pop-punk’s infectious bounce with a sugary, sun-drenched charm that makes it impossible not to get swept up in. It’s fun, a little cheeky, and bursting with youthful attitude.
The track’s pop sensibilities shine through in its tight hooks and bright, punchy production. The guitars keep things bouncy, the beat is addictive, and Cheska’s vocal delivery is charismatic and full of personality. There’s a sense that she’s genuinely having a blast, and that energy carries through to the listener. While the song has an adolescent streak, it never feels shallow—there’s just enough bite in the lyrics to give it an edge, making it more than just a sugary pop-punk anthem.
While ‘PART-TIME ROCKSTAR’ might be aimed at a younger audience, its energy and charm are infectious regardless of age. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to jump around, whether you’re a teenage dreamer or, like me, a forty-something who still gets a kick out of its rebellious, carefree streak. Pure, unfiltered fun.
