Fake Bitch - gobbinjr
from the album Ocala Wick (2018)
Gobbinjr is the synth-pop project of Emma Witmer, a budding Wisconsin musician who moved to NYC, enrolled in NYU, and began making her musical dreams come true. I find her songwriting to be top-rate and her attention to detail impeccable.
When I first came across her new song, Fake Bitch, I smiled and gave it a spin. To my delight, the opening visual image (as well as the remaining lyrics) touched my heart:
I felt you press your dick against my thigh
When we hugged
I didn't ask for it
You're not the one I want
'Cause you're a fake bitch and you know it
Even when you try not to show it
You're a fake bitch and I know it
Weren't you expecting the song to be about a chick? I sure was; but - bam - the subject's dick gets mentioned in the first line. It is clever, ironic, and worthy of our respect. The fake bitch is a dude!
Once you get past the lyrics, check out the chord structure and the arrangement. They are fantastic. I dig how the warbling synthesizers are ever present despite it being a guitar tune. Next listen to the vocal and how every inflection is perfectly placed. Isn't it further ironic that she mentions the subject's "inflection" in the lyrics?
I do not know where Ms. Witmer's musical journey will lead, but I hope to stay plugged in for the ride.
