Greyson Chance, JOCK PORN | Song Review

Pop singer-songwriter Greyson Chance compels with his distinct, mature, thought-provoking, and boldly titled single, “JOCK PORN.”

Ooh-wee! Say less! Pop singer-songwriter Greyson Chance said what he said, and it’s nothing short of hot, hot, hot! Gone are the days of “Paparazzi” covers and unfriending.  A mature, lean, but incredibly handsome, talented, out and proud Greyson has ushered in an even more mature era with “JOCK PORN”.  Sex-positivity is turnt up, while the shirt is off, via IG as well as the enticing, athletic cover art. “JOCK PORN” was written and produced by Chance and Jason Reeves.

“The safety’s off, be careful with the trigger / My body is a maze, an elegant figure for you.” Damn, Greyson! “JOCK PORN” commences with a bang, and the banging doesn’t stop there.  As expected, the songwriting is bold, sexual, and unapologetic.  Face it, if the word porn is in the song title, how could the song not be wild?! Even with its titillating moments, the lyrics are poetically and thoughtfully written.  There are numerous highlights, including the excerpt from the first verse. “What is it to be masculine? What is it to be feminine? I don’t know,” Chance asks in the same verse. He has more questions as well: “… Crawling onto my land / Does that make you a criminal? I kinda like it / Fuck, fuck, yeah.” Holy, rather, unholy fuck! In the second verse, things get freakier, involving “rough hands” and presumably dirty dancing.  “Thinking how my daddy might cry,” he sings, “If he knew what we were fucking into, baby…” Wow! The centerpiece is the chorus, which is bold but also intriguing, well-rounded songwriting:

“So be my rocket, be my sun, be my blatant kingdom come

Be my hot-blooded hunk, I ain’t a Marxist with my love

But if I take it, then maybe I am

I’ve been reading old books with my head in the sand

It’s a matter of time, I’ve been losing my mind, I’m still watching jock porn.”

Again, Greyson Chance said what he said.  Throughout “JOCK PORN”, he sings beautifully and sincerely.  The sound of the record is an alternative brand of pop – distinct, unusual, and incredibly captivating.  With such bold lyrics, you might expect a dynamic, over-the-top backdrop. Instead, you get more stripped, minimal accompaniment that packs a significant punch. An art-pop-ish record with a bold title, thought-provoking lyrics, and a heaping dose of eye candy? That’s a winner in my book every damn day of the year!  Check out more Greyson Chance on The Musical Hype.
