Artist Lera Shemi takes a bold step into the spotlight with her intoxicating single “such a gooD boy.” As the first look at her upcoming project, the track serves as a brave excavation of desire and temptation, and the kind of chaos that feels impossible to avoid even when you know better. It’s a song about throwing caution to the wind, flouting rules and living entirely in the moment; even if “Let Yourself Get Down” brings you spiraling into a danger zone well, want it anyway.
The first slide into the notes, “such a gooD boy” makes clear that Lera song throbs with an industrial edge, propelled by the chilling production that exudes equal parts seductive and brooding. Her voice, thickened with a practiced creepiness, tension as mirroring the story she spins, that of wanting what you shouldn’t, and loving the thrill of it. It is music that doesn’t just play in your ears; it gets under your skin.
What further heightens the impact of this release is the depth of Lera’s artistry. A producer-an officer-and-a Berklee College of Music alum, she’s in charge of every aspect of her sound. That creative freedom on display here, in a production that feels meticulously constructed, but unconfined, the chaos and temptation running amok together between carefully raised walls. The result is a song that feels both risky and freeing, a juxtaposition that underlines her artistry.
More than with “such a gooD boy,” Lera Shemi reveals herself as an artist with no fear of looking into the darker corners of love and desire. She’s constructing a place for listeners to enter, one in which borders dissolve, laws shatter and temptation becomes the star. For fans of pop music that straddles the edge, this is the arrival of a voice you should be paying attention to.
