Impressing already this year with singles like “Own Damn Feelings” and “thread,” “overstimulated” is another aesthetical and melodic success from Gainesville-based artist Bambii Lamb. Suave bossa-nova and a throwback pop charm intertwine with observations of modern tumult, escalating into a stutter-y vocal feeling with intriguing electronic/rock convergence. The track comes via Lamb’s upcoming album Anatomical Venus, releasing in 2024.
“I’m overstimulated,” the vocals let out during the swelling chorus, easing back into the laid-back qualities while admitting “adrenaline is kicking in, yet I still feel like I’m sinking.” The track proves powerful in how modern society prompts overthinking, over-tinkering, and — ultimately — over-stimulations. The “god, I fucking hate it,” observation excels into the textured buzzing adornment, where the stutter-y vocals arise for a melodically absorbing impact, and into a final dash of lushly inviting guitars to close this stellar track out.
