Swedish artist Boy Destroy has revealed a video for his debut single Warpaint, out now via Loyalty Obsession. Boy Destroy blends elements of emo and trap with alt-pop, inspired by artists My Chemical Romance, Jeff Buckley and Joji.
“Warpaint is the one that started this beautiful and terrifying journey,” he explains. “I’m using my wounds, my mistakes, my anger, my sorrow and my passion as armour. I don’t feel like I need to hide anymore. Like a boxer, bleeding in the ring, the pain doesn’t bother me much. It’s the fuel for this machine.”
Warpaint is the first single and title-track from Boy Destroy‘s forthcoming Warpaint EP.
“The Warpaint EP is a collection of stories from my sometimes troubled life,” he adds. “It’s about the boy destroyed. About the people that gave up on me as a consequence of my actions. Souls left unplugged and isolated from their emotions like islands. About the digital apathy of young lives.”
