GUY.exe - Superfruit

What you’re about to experience is hard fangirling, and I apologize in advance.

Since this week’s blog theme is a free topic and my mind is virtualy fried, the only thing I could think of was this song that I’ve been, honestly, abusing, given how many times I’ve pressed replay.

The song’s called “GUY.exe”, it’s by Superfruit and of course I’m listening to it at this very moment.

First of all, I’ll tell you something about how I got to know these guys. About 4 years ago I saw a video online of 5 people singing, but something was different about them. It was the “Evolution of music” by Pentatonix, and they chose a bunch of iconic songs to sing, delivering harmonies, bass and beat box completely acapella. I was so amazed, and what was also great was that they looked like simple people, nothing too distant from you or me. The 3 who are on the top row knew each other from highschool, the other two they found later, and formed this group. They went on a singing competition show called The Sing-off and won its third season, but actually they gained many more fans just making videos on YouTube.

I continued to follow their career and I watched how they got more and more famous. I was so glad for them. Sadly, a while ago, Avi Kaplan (the bass guy, reaaaally good also) left the group, and things changed. I don’t really know what happened to the rest of the group, but two of the guys continued making music apart from Pentatonix. Mitch and Scott formed Superfruit (they’re guys who dig guys, hence the name), and a few days ago they released this song, and I just can’t even.

Some of the reasons I like this song are: first of all, the beat and vibe are awesome. Second of all, they sing oh so good, AND, mostly, this song is so representative of pop gay culture that I’m surprised how I hadn’t listened to something like this earlier. It speaks of how these guys would want their perfect guy to be, and it felt so right, since we’re all so used to listening to gay guys singing about… women? Come on, get real.

So, I invite all of you to watch the video, feel the rhythm and dance a little, you won’t regret it *unicorn emoji* * rainbow emoji*
