Born Hot

Chris Farren

High-gloss power pop where shimmering synths and relentless drum machines collide with deeply neurotic, self-aware lyrics about the absurdity of being alive.

It's like if a panic attack was a really catchy 80s pop song.

A manic, neon-colored celebration of self-doubt and the absurdity of modern existence.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, shimmering synth hook that opens 'Bizzy', immediately setting a tone of manic energy.
The contrast between the upbeat, danceable tempo and the crushing self-doubt in the lyrics of 'Search 4 Me'.
The way 'Credits' slows the pace to a cinematic crawl, providing a meta-commentary on the album's own performance.
