New single “Still Be Friends” from wildly creative songwriter and viral LGBTQ+ influencer Boy Jr. (they/them) is here. The track is irresistible and witty, conveying the deep emotions many of us have after a breakup.
The highly relatable song is “my rather sarcastic way of showing the way I hear someone’s breakup spiel to me. You know like people will go on and on about how great you are and they still want to maintain a friendship because you deserve the best but at the end of it all, they’re still breaking up with you,” proclaims the artist.
“Still Be Friends” is off of their upcoming full length DIY album, I Love Getting Dumped. Boy Jr. is known for creating comical yet poignant narratives packaged in experimental, expansive and charming indie pop-rock. The artist has millions of streams and a massive dedicated social media fanbase.
Boy Jr. is the songwriting/production project of Ariel Allen-Lubman (they/them). Allen-Lubman has established a consistently viral internet presence through original music that is both catchy and creative, while staying true and personal. While Boy Jr.’s charming, energetic indie pop-rock flourishes from Allen-Lubman’s academic music production background, the immense genre versatility is the backbone of the project.
Through an entirely DIY ethos, Allen-Lubman’s career is just about to fully blossom. Through a combination of genuine musical talent, and high energy, oddball personality, Boy Jr. has attracted a variety of followers, from music lovers to critics to creators. As they gear up to promote their upcoming full length DIY album, I Love Getting Dumped, Allen-Lubman continues to use their platform to explore expression in artistry, gender, and influencership.
