Following on from her gorgeous, shimmering single Dating A Drug Dealer, The Sunshine State is back with her latest offering, Bob.
Bob builds on the aesthetics The Sunshine State, real name Skyler Stonestreet, set out on her previous single. Following on from where that song left off, Bob is again about questionable love interests:
“Bob is a classic bad boy… This song is bonfires and beer bottles crashing on the floor. A chipped tooth, a quick fling and the feeling that sometimes it doesn’t matter if the person is right or wrong for you because freedom and new adventure are the only thing on your mind.”
That easy-breezy mentality suits the music itself, which thrums with an excited, care-free energy. Just as with Dating A Drug Dealer, Bob evokes feelings of seizing the moment, doing what you want and to hell with the consequences. Bob is full of yearning, particularly when consumed from a position of relative stability, and a reminder of the thrill of uncertainty. I find it just a little addictive and captivating.
