On "Juicy Boom," Things Change offers much more than that in their sonic smoothie, teeming with a hundred percent fruit content and a fevered honesty that feels like a shot of B vitamins in the form of a raw throbbing heart. This punk-driven, pop-punk meets alt-rock burner feels like a surreal midnight journey to satisfy a late-night craving, except the craving is for emotion, and it's the emotion made into melodic pulp.
The track begins gently, like drinking something sweet for the first time when experiencing a long period of burnout or illness. That yearning for something refreshing, something redolent of life, that's the essence of "Juicy Boom." Lightness is at play, a jokey push and pull between bodily frailty and emotional hunger, culminating in a climax that satisfies and liberates.
The fever dream takes over as the guitars grow dirtier and the vocals unravel into organized chaos. It's messy, loud, heartfelt, and it works. It's a song that doesn't apologize for being weird or getting extremely specific. If anything, it revels in its oddness. There's a therapeutic release, a bold musical fruit therapy that surges through you in waves.
Ultimately, "Juicy Boom" is a love letter to the kooky cravings of the human body and the mind's need for escape. If you're struggling with funk or simply vibing out on your own level, this track is that juicy mouthful of relief. Things Change further evidence that some of the most potent anthems ever emerge from vulnerability, and a little pulp never hurt.
