Makeup has a voice you could pick out from a crowd of grays. His low timbre, slightly mixed with an interesting huskiness, gives him much credibility and sheds much light on his future. His newest single, “All My Friends Are High,” has a classic rock sound within its clasp.
Makeup’s all-time inspirations, David Bowie, Queen, and My Chemical Romance, are rooted in his sound. He managed to blend their genres within his song, still keeping the originality with his ebbing and flowing, smooth voice soaring above the hard-hitting guitars and a perfectly balanced and nuanced drumming sound in the back.
Resembling both the old-fashioned, long-gone realm of the music industry and the contemporary sound with Makeup’s ingenuity as a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and songwriter, he appends much vulnerability and softness to the sound of “All My Friends Are High” with his defeated stance on the broken system shown to new adults.
Makeup sings of being “sad and shaky” as an individual maneuvering through adulthood in his 20s, contemplating the “lies” he was told. He sings that his life was a lie and that he is wasting his time after still not being able to find who is supposed to be, and the milestones he was shown to acquire never seem to make a point in his brain.
Makeup manages to express the feeling of being betrayed and hurt, as most Millenials feel, with a vulnerable anger that retains its emotive complex without sounding too harsh, helping Makeup get his point across. Nonetheless, regardless of whether you have been jilted this way, you need to listen to our rising star, Makeup and his new single “All My Friends are High”, to experience something heartfelt and emotionally powerful.
