Apaolo really has you feeling all kinds of nostalgia on ‘Psychopath’. The very clear throwback sound will have you feeling sentimental for the emo and pop punk groups you grew up on the late 90s and early 00s. That distinctive whininess in the vocal performance, that undying teenage angst, and that fuel from heartbreak all combine into this whirlwind that just has you engrossed and feeling a complete unhinged sense of catharsis as you yell ‘maybe she’s a psychopath’. It’s got a clear audience, and it hits all the darts at the right elements to get them charged up undoubtedly.
‘Psychopath’ is pop punk done right, perhaps almost sounding like a song trapped from another time in the sheer attention to detail and homage it pays to its inspirations. All in all, its a whole lot of fun and an energetic bop that’s bound to have you expressing all your disdain and frustration towards relationships with people who seem to drive you up the wall without rhyme or reason.
