Avery Cochrane - Toy Gun [Music Video Review]

“Don;t let the sugary Pop vibe fool you, ‘Toy Gun’ from Avery Cochrane packs a lot of kick. The simple, yet wryly delicious video adds to the sharp edge of these lyrics and Cochran’s spot on delivery makes damn certain you feel every pointed innuendo and assertion.

This is an Alt Pop track that hits every mark, the light fun build and singalong lyrics are what you’d expect, but not every songwriter can deliver such a direct and pointed message and make it all entertaining at the same time.”

There is a hint of that is the effervescent bubbliness of this track from producer yetep and vocalist Dia Frampton, but there is also a soft haunting quality that pours forth some human emotion and the insecurity we can all feel even in those happier moments. The combination here is quite intoxicating on this Dance Pop/EDM track.”
