Los Angele artist Baby FuzZ has released his newest single “Weekend Blues” from his upcoming sophomore concept album Welcome To The Future, due out this fall.
“Imagine a kind of surreal Jungle or The Go! Team re-imagined by an American melody guru and you’d be close, with Baby FuzZ matching addictive songwriting to some other-worldly tendencies.” – ClashBaby FuzZ is the audiovisual absurdist glam rock brainchild of producer and songwriter Sterling Fox. After producing Lan Del Rey’s “Video Games,” Fox was on his way to becoming one of the most in-demand and successful pop songwriters in the business having written with and for artists Madonna, Max Martin, Elle King, Avicii, Lana Del Rey, Britney Spears and more (see the full list HERE). Upon the election of Donald Trump, and at the peak of Fox’s songwriting career he disappeared from music and split for Canada, spending a year in Montreal, reemerging as Baby FuzZ.
Baby FuzZ unapologetically jumps all over the genre map, with songs ranging from folk ballads to punk anthems and everything in between. As diverse as the music is, the lyrics are a singular and hyper self-aware narrative with strong political and social undertones. Last year Baby FuzZ, released his debut album Plastic Paradise independently and embarked on a 100 date DIY tour around the US. Last year was just the start for Baby FuzZ rising from the death rattle of a previous life of overthought pop demos that had finally eaten itself alive with a sense of ennui.If Plastic Paradise was the first contact, this new album, Welcome To The Future, coming this fall, is sure to be Baby FuzZ’s full-blown alien invasion. The uninhibited mariachi and pop influenced first single, “Weekend Blues,” gives the listener a taste of what’s to come from the wild concept album that is poignantly relevant to a dystopian America, currently weathering pandemic amidst a cultural crisis. The majority of Welcome To The Future was written and recorded during quarantine with heavy doses of conservationism, disguised symbolism, and good old fashioned American absurdity. This first song offering was written from the point of view of a lonely person who goes to a party and dissects the universe in their head instead of having fun, and is described by FuzZ as “attempt to make a ‘Dancing Queen’ for incels.”
When looking to craft the visuals for his colorful apocalyptic world, Baby FuzZ teamed up with renowned LA photographer Parker Day and stylist Orchid Satellite who brilliantly captured his unique kaleidoscope filtered worldview.
