Matters of the heart can fuck you up, badly, particularly at the hands of a fuckboy. The term, albeit vulgar, elicits a worthwhile conversation regarding dating, however. In the case of fearless pop artist Bentley Robles (Bruno Pazzi Robles), a totally UGLY CRIER, love, or the illusion of love, has done a number on him, courtesy of – wait for it – fuckboys.  “My friends always say that I ruin new things cause of you,” he sings in the first verse of “GOD IS A FUCKBOY”, adding, “Spend all my time blaming myself / But I don’t really think it’s my fault / It’s just that I’m built like this / I’m clinically a romantic guy.” Fair enough, Bentley, As a fellow, hopeless romantic, I feel that. So, who’s to blame for you “cry-ing about boys that don’t deserve it?” The ultimate fuckboy – God, apparently 🫢 (His words, not mine 😇).

That’s right, in the second track of UGLY CRIER (Deluxe), Bentley Robles has an epiphany – one considered blasphemous by some, but an epiphany nonetheless!

“I never thought much about him before this

But in this moment on one thing, I’m focused

If God led me straight to you

Then God must be a fuckboy too.”

WOO! Robles is boldly honest, which makes him captivating as a musical artist.  It doesn’t stop there. He adds, “I wish that someone could see / That the big guy is picking on me / Wish I could just send him a text like / ‘Daddy, just give it a rest’.” Daddy, huh? There’s also, “And they say, I can do all things in God but / He’s doing a really bad job, yeah / I don’t know why / He spends his time / Sending me so many bad guys.” Over the exuberant, synth-driven production (FLORIO), Robles makes clear that He (aka God) “is a fuckboy” repeating it numerous times.  Associating God with fuckery take some stones. Bentley Robles, all told, delivers an ear-catching, PRIDE beaming, pop song with “GOD IS A FUCKBOY”.
