DROOLIGAN BOYFRIEND

‘Boyfriend’ is the bouncy new indie-pop tune from Drooligan. The tune is upbeat, with staccato percussion blending with wavy synth sounds and a unique lead vocal from Hannah Bungard. Despite the glossy outer shell, Bungard explains the far less jubilant influence behind the release: “’Boyfriend' is about a woman remembering the last time she saw her dad before he died. It’s full of grief but also anger for him holding her up to these toxic and outdated set of beliefs and expectations in regards to relationships”. While the toe-tapping infectious beat of the track combined with the amusing, low-budget-talent-show setting of the video draw you in, it's these lyrics that really stay with you. Keep an eye on the York-based trio as they take on big things in 2020. - Dan Peeke
