Sports Boyfriend • "Fear of God"
Chicago indie artist Sports Boyfriend drops first single “Fear of God” off upcoming EP. Entering with calmly prolonged strums of guitar strings coupled behind uniform snare drums. With grace, Sports Boyfriend’s tender vocals comfort the ears. The story is told melodically, “I fall back in, I scrape my skin, on the ground, when i’m crawling back to you,” as a swift hi-hat briskly changes the tone. Feeling comfortable, Boyfriend reaches her groove when she sings “I’m shaking like a dog with the newspaper raised again”. Echoes of “I’m never coming, I’m never coming back” signifies her firm realization of moving on. Sports Boyfriend’s latest is a reminder, that sometimes closing a chapter is needed to live a better, healthier life.
