Swedish singer/producer Boy In Space is back with an electric new single, “Therapy”, in collaboration with fellow Swedish duo NOTD. The themes on the track are something we can all relate to recently, echoing feelings of loneliness and detachment from the world. In addition to the track, Boy In Space delivered a music video draped with distorted and hyper-focused visuals that perfectly compliment the vibes of the song.

Originally released earlier this month, “Therapy”‘s detached and trippy essence come as no surprise, factoring in Boy In Space’s previously released singles that effortlessly blurred reality with fantasy and invited listeners into the artist’s own unique world. Speaking on the track, Boy In Space commented, “I’ve been going through a lot of shit lately, so I wanted to write a song from my point of view. I hope people can relate and that ‘Therapy’ gets less stigma so that people aren’t afraid of getting help.”  It’s clear that this is more than just a single for Boy In Space; this powerful, personal statement demands change through social advocacy and self-improvement.

“Therapy” becomes an immediate attraction to fans of Jeremy Zucker, Alec Benjamin and Bebe Rexha with its bright synths that expertly contrast the intensity of the lyrics. Its high energy music video showcases captivating visuals and flashing lights, coupled with Boy In Space earnestly addressing the camera. A completely revolutionized new take on fellow Swede Tove Lo’s “Habits (Stay High),” “Therapy” brings on a fresh, more dance-inclined beat, paired with a message suited for today’s audience.

“Therapy” is the perfect quarantine song to not only get you on your feet, but more importantly help remind us all that we’re never alone in this struggle. It’s no wonder Boy In Space is one of the biggest breakout stars of the past year, with over 105 million streams on Spotify after only a few singles. “Therapy” comes as a precursor to an exciting new project that will be released in 2021.  With all the hype that surrounds this latest release, 2021 is gearing up to be one of the best years for music.
