FOLLOW Giack Bazz VIA:
Italian singer-songwriter Giack Bazz tackles the complexities of the music industry head-on with his latest single, “Only Fans,” to spark a much-needed conversation.
Bazz’s lyrics draw an artist’s struggle in a world obsessed with instant fame and fleeting attention. Lines like “There’s no overnight success, only morning fans” capture the frustration of pouring your heart out only to be met with indifference. It’s a feeling many aspiring musicians can relate to.
But Bazz doesn’t stop there. He takes things a step further with the release strategy. The music video, featuring model Alexandra Pinheiro alongside Bazz at an overflowing dinner table, playfully hints at themes of ASMR and flirts with a bit of innuendo. This, paired with the song’s title, is a deliberate choice. Bazz plans to release the full video exclusively on his Only Fans page.
Why Only Fans?
Bazz argues, “They wouldn’t even watch the video if it wasn’t for the cheeky element. I want people to think about how music has become a commodity, and how messed up the industry can be.” It’s a bold move, designed to break down the barriers and make listeners confront the realities of the music world today.
“Only Fans” isn’t just complaining – it’s a call to action. With over a decade in the industry, Bazz knows firsthand the struggles artists face. From the pressure to create short snippets for fleeting fame to the measly payouts from streaming services, the system feels stacked against the artists who pour their heart and soul into their music.
“Only Fans” is a song for a fairer music scene. Whether you agree with Bazz’s methods or not, there’s no denying this song is a conversation starter. It’ll make you think about the value of music and the challenges faced by the artists who create it.
