Myylo, My EP Era is Now Over [📷 : Myylo]Pop singer/songwriter Myylo ends his EP era with his My EP Era is Over Now (EP), led by the brief but entertaining bop, “Savage Bop.”  

It’s official – 🎙 Myylo (Michael Myylo Lewis) is done with his EP Era, or so the title of his five-track EP, 💿 My EP Era is Over Now suggests.  For those following this awesome LGBTQ musician, he’d released his 💿 I Do (EP) earlier in 2021, featuring four of the five tracks reprised on My EP Era is Over Now.  The fifth track that’s added to the mix is utterly savage – 🎵 “Savage Bop” to be precise.  As always, Lewis is true to self, and we the listeners wouldn’t have it any other way.

“This is a savage bop / I pray to fenty gods / Yeah, I’m as apathetic as a valley goth.” Say what? On “Savage Bop,” Myylo writes alongside 🎼 ✍  Anna Dellaria and 🎼 ✍  Zack Djurich. As the excerpted lyrics suggest, this record ends up being as colorful as its title.  Our beloved artist mostly raps, bringing an agile flow and rhymes that are entertaining AF.  Of course, as to be expected, Lewis speaks about his preferred topic of choice – BOYS.  “I’m like a wildfire burning boys hearts,” he spits at one point, later captivating with the likes of, “Hokus Pokus witch bitch, I cackle in the dark.” Wow! Of course, Lewis rightfully throws a heartthrob into the mix: “Timmy Chalamet, hit me up to eat his plum / Rum bum, bum, bum, he like how I roll my tongue.” Yeah, he’s exaggerating (I think), but who can blame him for loving some Timothée Chalamet? Worth noting, there is some singing on “Savage Bop” even if it’s limited, plus, the production is idiomatic of hip-hop-infused pop.


Final Thoughts 💭 

So, is “Savage Bop” indeed a ‘savage bop.’ You bet your @$$ it is! Myylo is the gift that keeps on giving and I am personally excited for him to transition into his album era.  He oozes with personality and his songwriting style is incredibly entertaining.  What’s not to like about this two-minutes-and-change cut?
