Melbourne’s own maverick, Momoko Rose, delves into the intricacies of relationships through the evocative tune “softboi.” Emerging as a multifaceted exploration of the human experience, blending edginess with tenderness to shed light on the complexities of modern love.
Providing insight into the song’s inspiration, Momoko says,
The inspiration for ‘softboi’ came from observing my friends’ dating experiences and I view it as having a double meaning – serving as both an empathetic ‘fuck you’ and an anthem for sensitive souls who struggle with intimacy.
With her ability to challenge conventions through ambiguity and contradictions, Momoko fearlessly addresses the issue of toxic masculinity and its far-reaching impacts on relationships and society. She does so while maintaining a joyful and playful beat that not only captivates the listener but also offers an insightful commentary on the human condition.
With “softboi,” Momoko Rose showcases her talent in using music as a means to confront societal norms and engage in meaningful discussions about love, masculinity, and the challenges faced by individuals in a world that sometimes fails to understand their experiences. It’s a song that challenges the status quo, all while providing an engaging and memorable musical dance floor anthem.
