Slayyyter, hey boyyy → Song Review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Slayyyter drops a chaotic, messy, unhinged, wildly fun and satisfying pop single with “hey boyyy.”

“Twirl around my bedroom / ‘Til you have to go home / You don’t have to go home.” Slayyyter (Catherine Garner) made herself crystal clear! She never fails to be creative or push boundaries.  “Hey boyyy” is another example of the pop star in pure captivation mode. “Hey boyyy” is the sixth track off WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA / wor$t man in america. Slayyyter composed it with producers Austin Dale Corona and Wyatt Bernard.

“Hey boyyy” is turnt up from the jump – IN YO FACE! The electrifying, noisy synths and sound effects are obnoxiously striking. Ornate, a lot is going on – ample rhythm and texture with the layers of sound. Slayyyter’s vocals are coarse and edgy initially.  At times, they are smoother and more nuanced. But there are plenty of vocal effects, and her more overt, distorted vocals dominate. Why is this song so cray cray? She’s got a CRUSH, bad! See the chorus:

“Hey, boy, I got a funny little secret

I get so nervous when you talk to me

If you wanna sit closer, then comе closer, oh

Hey, boy, when you’rе alone, do you think of me? (Hey, boy, ah)

I read between every line you leave (Hey, boy, ah)

If you wanna come over, come over, oh, oh.”

Damn, girl! The verses also shed light on Slayyyter’s feelings. “Oh, am I dumb for falling?” she sings in the first verse, and continues, “I don’t know him well, but I’m crawling / Does he see it under?” My, my! In the second, she asserts, “I obsess, won’t confess to him / The way I feel feels like stalking.” Again, my, my, with an extra MY!  “Hey boyyy” is chaotic, messy, unhinged, and wild. Clearly, that’s what Slayyyter had in mind.  If you enjoy more polished, refined pop, this may not be your jam.  However, if you don’t mind your pop being more obnoxious, less balanced, with a dash of chaos, especially the outro (“HEY, BOY”), this song might tickle your fancy.  It’s something else!
