Love sometimes strikes hard, and negative thoughts of ‘why me?’ can also accompany its deep pleasure. These feelings are expressed perfectly in “honeY”, the new track about to drop from Boorloo/Perth-based pop artist CHEZ. We are thrilled to be premiering this cracker of a tune ahead of its release on Friday.
CHEZ’s ‘honeY’ is a sonic journey that doesn’t hold back. The track is a whirlwind of urgent, seductive grooves that pull us into a breathless, intoxicating experience. It’s a rollercoaster of flirty tension, with the chorus purring’why do you like me?’ over growling bass hits. The track’s playful exploration of self-doubt in the midst of unbridled love and lust is sure to leave you wanting more.
CHEZ talks about the inspiration behind ‘honeY’:
“‘honeY’ touches on my internal battles of self-doubt and low self-esteem when in a relationship. The way I view myself or see myself is, at the best of times – downright terrible. It’s those fun internal battles of, ugh, I’ve put on weight since I was 18; how could anyone find me attractive? But in those moments, you have someone who thinks you are perfect, despite my flaws. And most of the time, you think they’re lying or delusional. Sometimes our minds are our own worst enemy, so lyrically, I wanted this to be able to resonate with a vast majority, and sonically, I wanted the track to almost play a make-fun-of-yourself-esque vibe. You can cry and jiggle your body around at the same time, and I think that’s exactly what you need sometimes.”
CHEZ co-produced “honeY” with Caleb Lenzo and Reece Lenzo (We The Kings, 44phantom, SK8).
Yes, CHEZ is yet another example of the startling talent to emerge from WA. It seems to be a never-ending supply. She is quickly notching up the wins, including selling out her debut headline show three weeks before the performance date – a difficult feat these days for established artists, let alone a relative newcomer. She has also performed on Scene Queen‘s Australian tour and will be performing with Set It Off (USA) this November.
“HoneY” will be released this Friday. Be sure to pre-save it HERE, and enjoy our exclusive premiere.
