When you think of bold, boundary-pushing artists who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo, one name that immediately comes to mind is Lady Gaga. However, the extravagant singer Brooke Candy has been doing the same since 2012.
Her fearless approach to self-expression and unwavering commitment to authenticity have made her a true icon in the underground scene. Not long ago, she released her new music video for “POGO,” directed by herself along with Nick Thompson and James Framez.
The Best Similar Artists to Lady Gaga Right Now
Nowadays, the only artists I find with a talent similar to Lady Gaga are Brooke Candy and Ava Max. All of them aren’t afraid to push the envelope and defy expectations.
In fact, Brooke Candy has built an entire career on being unapologetically herself. She’s all about experimenting with different sounds, including Rap and other sexy, glamorous electronic beats.
Not to mention, her tattoos perfectly complement her authentic charisma.
I first stumbled upon Brooke’s music when she collaborated with Grimes on her viral visuals for “Genesis.” For sure, that led to more collabs with top names in the industry, but this year she’s stepping out on her own.
There’s also something about her raw, unfiltered energy and her willingness to explore the edgier side of the human experience that will catch your attention. Unlike a lot of mainstream Pop stars, she isn’t afraid to get real in her lyrics, tackling subjects like mental health, sexuality, and the complexities of the human condition.
Breaking Down the Controversial Lyrics of “POGO”
The lyrics of her new single “POGO” seem to be a provocative commentary on the darker, more taboo aspects of sexuality. Likewise, her verses revolve around the ways in which power, fame, and wealth can intersect with physical and emotional degradation.
Undoubtedly, Brooke Candy is unafraid to delve into these intense/hot themes, using her Electro-Pop melodies as a platform to address the unspoken, gritty sides of life.
The LA-based performer is currently touring the European continent with her live shows, get more information on her socials below.
