The incredibly talented TITUS continues to make a name for himself in the pop-punk scene with his upbeat, emotionally charged new single "Bad Year." The song comes after taking a year-long hiatus from music to focus on his mental health, a cause he has been extremely passionate about. He sure does it all when it comes to creating music that blends heartfelt relatable lyrics with engaging harmonies, making him a memorable name in the music world. It's no wonder he has quickly gained such a loyal fanbase who have stuck by him and without a doubt will gain even more followers this year.
"Bad Year" is a powerful theme song for anyone who has faced a hardship or any unusual circumstances in life but came out stronger from it and gained self-awareness of who they are. TITUS uses the song to explore his own obstacles while working through them and persevering to reach his goals in the end. The lyrics strongly embody feelings of frustration, self-doubt, and overcoming challenges through inner strength.
With creative lyrics like, "Paranoia running deep in my mind at the trauma factory/ and I'm working overtime to give you the best parts of my mind," it really allows the listener to feel a powerful message behind the song.
Not only is this song filled with inspiring drive, but we can't forget about how smooth the vocal delivery is as well! The subtle effects on his voice, followed by impressive layered harmonies throughout, really showcase TITUS even more as an artist. The instrumentation also enriches the energy from the lyrics and vocal performance, effortlessly integrating every element in the final production of "Bad Year."
