Houston-born artist googly eyes dives into the modern-day fame machine with her debut single "Internet Star," a mesmerizing track that examines the bittersweet allure of online stardom. Blending indie electronic, indie pop, and dream pop influences, "Internet Star" brings a mix of synth-driven soundscapes and introspective lyrics that explore the pressures of pursuing viral success in the age of algorithms. With its warm yet haunting production, the song serves as a reflection on how the quest for visibility can blur an artist’s creative vision.
Signed as the first artist on Tove Lo’s Pretty Swede Records, googly eyes is already turning heads, and her Starlet EP is set to make a splash when it drops on September 27. Tove Lo shares, “googly eyes is an incredible artist, writer, and producer. Internet Star has this beautiful yet witty vulnerability that speaks to anyone whose dreams may not have gone as planned. I’m thrilled that this is the first artist release on Pretty Swede.”
Reflecting on the track, googly eyes notes, “Internet Star” captures the struggle to stay true to one’s art in a world fixated on likes and shares. “I forgot why I started making music in the first place and exchanged it for someone else's idea of success. This song is a reminder to reconnect with my true dreams.”
With a unique sound and thought-provoking lyrics, googly eyes is positioning herself as a refreshing voice in the indie pop landscape. Produced entirely by googly eyes, "Internet Star" is an authentic introduction to an artist poised to make waves.
