OK you guys, say what you like about Chris Crocker but he has come a long way from the 'Britney Boy' he once was. His attitude as of late has changed drastically and so has his music. I loved his first song - 'Mind in the gutter' and the follow up 'Fell for the enemy' (which wasn't actually released until much later) and then 'Love you better'. Later he released 'Best of both worlds' which again was a good track, but this new EP - Whoa!
He has really outdone himself. The EP (which is dominating the iTunes chart at the moment) consists of 5 tracks, 2 of which were already released as singles on iTunes - 'Freak of nature' and 'I want your bite' (both of which happen to be personal favorites of mine) and he even made a music video for 'Freak of nature' which was met with mixed reviews (personally I loved it! - He looked fierce with his blonde hair rocking out and rolling around his bed with a whip, being fed strawberries but what I loved the most was when he took his wig off and continued to dance around in the hair net) - This guy is hilarious! Some people just hate on him far too quickly without getting to know him. He is much more that the 'boy that cried over Britney' and he is proving that now with how versatile he is as an artist.
Back to the EP - he has managed to take people on a journey with him through his music. We have 'Fly swat' in which he takes on all his 'haters' and tells of how they are "buzzing like bees but stinging like flies" which we know relates to the amount of people that sit behind a computer screen and hate on him yet in real life they wouldn't say boo to him. Chris has balls! He's far more man than the people that hate on him - even when he's in full hair and makeup! We have 'Freak of nature' Which is such a clubby song, it's all about celebrating how different you are rather than being ashamed of it. For me the whole message of the song is summed up in my favorite line - "Us freaks are endangered species, so let's live it up to the fullest, Live it up - what you got to say?" Then we have the uber sexy 'I want your bite' - for me this is a definite sex song. You know what I mean - the kind of song you have blasting out in the background while you get down and dirty. It's such a catchy song that just screams sex! If this was to come on in a club I'd go crazy! I LOVE it!
The other two songs of the EP 'Enough is enough' and 'One day' are from a completely different angle. This is a side of Chris that only his loyal YouTube followers will know about. These songs describe the heartbreak that he's experienced. He's goes about it such a classy way as well. No bitching just his honest feelings. I LOVE the hook for 'Enough is enough'.
All in all this EP is freaking AMAZING! Even if you're not a fan of Chris (which I find so hard to understand but each to their own right?) you'd still enjoy his music. Each of the 5 tracks takes a different approach and as such I think it proves how versatile he is as an artist. If you like the EP check out his older music - 'Mind in the gutter', 'Fell for the enemy' 'Love you better' (which is in two versions - the studio and an acoustic) and 'Best of both worlds' all of which are available on iTunes.
It does make me feel sad to think of the heartbreak behind some of his songs but judging from this EP i'd say Chris Crocker will be on the music scene for a while to come and what we've seen so far is only the tip of the iceberg so maybe one day he'll be singing a happy love song :) Either way I love you Chris and you have so many loyal fans. People really need to realize that Chris is able to stand up as an icon on his own. Gone are the days of 'Britney boy' this is now the age of the Crocker! Keep doing you're thing Chris. You're a true Crockstar!
