Having released his first single back in 2020 ("used to be so fun"), overcoming his artistry angst, the 26 year-old, New York native's progression was imminent. She loves boon has written a collective of songs for some time and now we are introduced to his premiere project, emotional trap. The project serves as a direct personification of who the artist is— relationships, insecurities, experiences, and more.
Ironically, "used to be so fun" has another iteration with loe4t's touch, a consistent collaborator in the process of this album. "I call it emotional trap because it's all united by impassioned writing and provoking beats...I pull from so many genres." And that he does, creating an erosion of the trap, pluggnb, and alternative genres. A culmination of serenades like "gigi/sunlight" and with an upbeat rhythm and boon's grandiloquent vocals down to the concluding "I just wanna dance", a sped down trap-enthused chiptune, another collaboration with loe4t.
There are a couple other impactful features including pop duo, deadph0ne, and hyperpop maestro, funeral, whom actually appears on one of she loves boon's personal favorites in "party by myself". "The song is about social anxiety and the writing, the bounciness of production, funerals feature, everything about it is impeccable to me." I love the tape as it brings about some nostalgic components like Röyksopp electronic sound, while incorporating pop and some of that NY grime. There are a number of cool play on sounds and synthesizing techniques that provide for an overall great debut body of work, cementing his stamp on the rising world. it
