Serotonin Dreams

Released in 2022, Serotonin Dreams marks BoyWithUke's transition from an independent TikTok phenomenon to a major-label artist under Republic Records. Despite the increased resources, the album remains fiercely committed to the artist's 'bedroom pop' origins, having been primarily written and produced by the singer on an iPad. The record is anchored by the viral success of 'Toxic', a track that defined the sound of digital-age angst for millions. Sonically, the album is characterized by its reliance on the ukulele as both a melodic and rhythmic tool, often paired with simple, 'fat' beats and dense vocal layering. It features strategic collaborations with artists like Blackbear and Mxmtoon, which help bridge the gap between lo-fi indie and mainstream alternative pop. Critically, the album has been noted for its commercial-ready hooks and candid, often blunt lyrical style that resonates deeply with Gen Z audiences navigating the complexities of online and offline relationships.
