ericdoa, sweet tooth | Song Review

Gen-Z standout ericdoa is totally prepared to give you a cavity with his hella sweet alternative single, “sweet tooth.”

“Gotta sweet tooth, come and chew me up.” Will do, ericdoa, you handsome, unique, Connecticut-based musician you! Ericdoa fits well into the hyperpop movement, which incorporates a bit of everything.  Beating to his own musical drum pays off once more on the melodic “sweet tooth”, which is decadent – more so to the ears than the mouth, though! What makes “sweet tooth” so sweet? Let’s dive in, shall we?

It begins with the music itself.  Ericdoa plays the role of do-it-all here, hence performing, producing, and writing “sweet tooth.” That is sweetness in itself! But, focusing on the backdrop, the guitar is selling point. So are the heavy-handed drums that anchor the backdrop.  Also, some keyboard touches also give him a sweet accompaniment.  Next, comes his vocals.  He sounds exuberant, and youthful, something that is a desirable trait.  Firmly planted in Gen-Z (he’s a 2002 baby), the energy and personality he brings are – wait for it – SWEET.  Of course, the songwriting is another pro, particularly the catchiest moment, the sing-along-worthy chorus:

“I remind her of a Sour Patch Kid, they don’t make ‘em like this

Tell me something sweet, feel a pain in your rib

Only taste sugar on the end of your lips

Swear there ain’t none purer than some love from my bitch.”

Woo! “Sweet tooth” is sure to give you cavity – all that sugary sweet goodness for ericdoa!
