Chicago-based artist Bad Bubble is a newcomer to the indie music scene with a unique sonic output marked by a distinctive fusion of electronic, synth pop and new wave influences. Bad Bubble’s artistic evolution is intertwined with a deeply personal and transformative narrative. After a decade of seclusion, he found himself compelled to translate his experiences into a meaningful artistic expression.
The catalyst for this journey was the profound loss of his daughter during his tenure with the US Army. This tragic event shattered the ordinary fabric of his life, pushing him to confront a new reality. Haunted by the memories of the Iraq war and grappling with profound grief, Bad Bubble turned to music as a form of catharsis.
In response to the night terrors that plagued his sleepless nights, he created a staggering 16 albums, each track bearing witness to his journey through trauma and recovery. At the heart of Bad Bubble’s captivating sound are intricate vocal arrangements that underscore his versatility as a singer-songwriter. Over a span of just over two years, he has crafted an extensive catalogue of over 160 songs, comprising albums, EPs, and singles.
Now bringing us his latest release, he shares the final single from his upcoming album with the track titled “In Whatever.” With his new song, Bad Bubble serves up another stunning slice of his synth-driven sound, once again showcasing his heartfelt songwriting and production panache.
Launching straight in with his airy vocals, delivering stretched melodic leads over a blend of soft sonic textures and plucked synth shots over subtle percussive elements, he crafts a delicate dream pop sound. As the chorus arrives, you’re struck with a truly euphoric sound o layered vocals threading dazzling melodies as the intricate arrangement spins an enveloping sound that’s equally anthemic and elegant.
“In Whatever” is a superb display of Bad Bubble’s unique sound and builds up the excitement for his forthcoming full-length record. As he continues to turn past trauma and previous life experience into enduring artistic expression via his prolific output, Bad Bubble will no doubt continue to go from strength to strength with new move.
