SINGLE REVIEW: Giack Bazz - Only Fans
'Only Fans' encapsulates a mellow, introspective indie vibe through its laid-back melodies and pretty, pensive vocals. Starting with delicate textures, the song crafts a serene dreamscape before transitioning into a richer, full-bodied jangle pop sound marked by shimmering guitars and an upbeat tempo.
Lyrically, the song provides a potent commentary on the fickle nature of the music industry, the challenging pursuit of success, and the enduring appeal of older songs over modern fleeting hits. It offers a critical look at gig-goers who appear disinterested and fans who are intensely engaged only temporarily; illustrative of those who enjoy the music for a night but don’t carry their support further.
'Only Fans' serves as a subtle jab at part-time music fans and a music industry that often chases after the newest trend. It also empathises with ageing musicians struggling in such a competitive field. With its poignant, meaningful lyrics wrapped in delightful indie pop sounds, and vocals that are both charming and rhythmically on point, the song balances a critical message with an inviting and likeable sound.
