It can feel at times that we've seen it all in music to the point where it's like there will never be a new genre ever again. Lil Nas X showed us that there are still ways to fuse genres together and DeathbyRomy is doing that exact same thing. On the newest album HOLLYWOOD FOREVER, the song "LITTLE DREAMER" is nothing short of absolute greatness and a masterpiece. Somehow mixing house music and punk rock/screamo, this song is thoughtful, eccentric, flashy and scary...but in a good way! The lyrics are catchy like that one pop song that takes over the charts in the summer but with a grunge sound that fuels anyones addiction to it. The effects used in this song are so smart sending the listener on an adventure all just shy of 3 minutes.
It feels that the attention is immediately demanded by DeathbyRomy from the very beginining of this song as it starts off with this really cool sound of the guitar. Not always is technology used to make music even greater than what we can do on a human level, but this feels like one of those situations where it's used exactly like it's supposed to. The song then brings us into the pre-chorus which is a halftime screamo rock breakdown to then launching us right into the chorus. The chorus is unlike anything I've ever heard. It starts almost all the way acapella for the first two lines and then the drums turn into this wonderful pop sound. Somehow, DeathbyRomy has managed to mix mupltiple genres which has to be a talent of its own. It is truly remarkable.
