Bobby Oroza’s new album Get On The Otherside is due out June 10th via Big Crown Records. “Sweet Agony” is a track from the new album as its video, which Bobby directed and edited himself, plays out like a nightmarish audition tape where he casts himself as a vampire with aspirations of being a performer, singing the soulful ballad to a group of unimpressed talent agents. The song itself mirrors that vulnerability, addressing the tug at the heart that comes with longing for someone dear, and acknowledges the sweet side of such intense emotions.
Get On The Otherside updates the soulful musical formula that Oroza introduced on his first record This Love alongside the production of frequent collaborators Cold Diamond and Mink. Lyrically though, the album steps further into unflinching reflections on himself than he ever has before, after being drawn back into construction work during the pandemic to provide for his family. Confronted with a lack of studio time or tours to play to channel his thoughts into creative output, Bobby turned inward and crafted a record that works through personal truths, disassembles any notions of past ego and presents a refreshed perspective with the same soulful musical backdrop he’s always known to be part of his identity.
