An Experimental Pop EP from Beasty Fan Music Club

A fresh release from Beasty Fan Music Club brings out a soiree of pop tonalities in the form of songs that breed honesty, personality, ooze character, and bring together a combination of approaches that create an atmosphere, letting the record stand on its own two feet.

Welcome to the Bfmc is an EP that spans six tracks with some songs ranging up to 7 minutes long, and each song speaks volumes for the release in a different way.

No two songs are really alike and there are some great surprises around the corners but all in all, this was a catchy and slightly outside the box pop record.

The record opens up with a track called "Wash Away Your Tears" which features some synth strings, a slight '90s undertone, and these kinds of brooding vocals that are performed a lot of the time in octaves.

You have two sets of vocals that are singing the same note with one singing the lower version and another singing the higher. This adds a lot of thickness and depth to the vocal approach and lets you hear the lyrics clearly.

Right from this first track, you're getting some great staples of the EP.

Having said that, you do want to listen to this thing from beginning to end simply because, as I mentioned earlier, there are more than a few surprises around its corners.

Listening to one or two tracks will give you a bit of an idea or a gist of what you might expect, but will not give you the range or Spectrum the full album has to offer.

Tracks like "The Voice Inside" provide much more of a smoother, almost Prince like approach. It's a blend of fresh pop but also heavy-handed R&B and done in a fresh, crisp way so that it feels cool.

This is a song that also showcases some amazing vocal approach and range, singing with lots of soul and passion, coming through with heart, and again telling stories that are coming from genuine places.

As I mentioned at the beginning, there's a lot of honesty on this record. The honesty in the lyrics is what gives this record character, as it actually has.

This is one of the things that I got attached to right from the start.

This Album and project absolutely come from a slew of influences and different eras of pop, R&B, soul, and loads more.

I definitely dig some of these more cinematic and almost 90s-feeling tracks like "Burned Out".

This is a song that expresses a lot and, like plenty of other tracks on the record, doesn't really build walls around itself. There's a lot of inner thought that comes spilling out for all the soaking up, which I find absolutely refreshing.

The beat of this track is what makes it feel 90s to me. But it also has this piano that's drenched in reverb and emotionally driving vocals, so it all comes together to create a particular kind of aesthetic, and that feels very cinematic in my opinion.

I can't help but love a record that dives into all these different approaches and keeps things fast in their undertones, breeding those cinematic soundscapes, and blending in different eras of pop music into everything.

The most experimental track on the record is actually its closing one. The song is called "Everything You Said", which delves into more truths, of course.

This one is experimental because it uses these almost outlandish synthesizers, bringing a completely different texture to the song and breeding a different atmosphere.

This is a record that, if listened to in full, will give you a sort of experience.

The song serves almost like chapters in the artist's life, and it's something that you don't want to miss.

Again, serving up loads of that personality and honesty is something that makes true, great art, and this record holds very little back, is unafraid, can be vulnerable, and feels almost like he was cathartic to make, in a sense.

After listening to this record, I'm certainly going to be keeping my eyes out for Beasty Fan Music Club, and if you like experimental, outside-the-box, catchy, slightly dark, cinematic pop, then this record is 100% for you.

Again, this is just how I took it, but I feel like if you listen to it, you'll soak it in the same way.

This is an EP release that you should listen to with headphones on so you can really take in all the different approaches, layers, textures, and soundscapes that it has to offer.

Take a deep dive into this one as soon as you can, and don't forget where you heard it first.
