Porkboii is an emerging artist from Redlands, California. Trading in their journal for song lyrics, Porkboii’s music is vulnerable and honest. Following their two 2019 singles, Porkboii released an album entitled Love Letters, which explores their struggles with depression and interpersonal relationships.

The second track on the album You Only feels like the stream of consciousness of a manic pixie dream girl. It perfectly captures the crowded rambling you get in your head when you can’t stop thinking about someone, but your self deprecating tendencies tell you they won’t care. One line that really hits home is “I could put myself out there, but I have a feeling I’ll regret it”. You Only would work perfectly on the soundtrack for an indie romcom.

The simplicity of the production and arrangement is charming, and adds to the vulnerable nature of the artist’s writing style. Porkboii’s vocal performance is shy, connecting well with the feeling of low self esteem. In the future we hope that Porkboii might raise the volume of the vocals in the mix so that their beautiful lyrics don’t go unheard.

Porkboii has an alleged 25 songs waiting to be produced, and we can’t wait to hear them. You can jump on the hype train with us on Spotify and instagram.
