Lily Forte is a true generational talent and displays incredible prowess on her newest single “I Wanna Be Your Rockstar”, delivering a rock n roll and indie pop infused performance with tangible swagger.
“I Wanna Be Your Rockstar” is a song that manifests the brilliance of artistry with the lore of love in the sphere of music. Forte plays with the idea of her romantic partner being her groupie coming to all of her shows. “We could get to dancing on the floor feeling like it’s 1964 / take you backstage tell you all my secrets / rip you off a page write you something and mean it / be the star of your show” – Forte uses vintage imagery to illustrate her fast-track mysterious groupie love.
On the energetic and infectious chorus she paints an exhilarating visual of a wild and unpredictable romantic whirlwind – “I wanna be your rockstar driving in your fast car / cigarettes and coffee always always getting on me / like when you gonna quit it I said I’m just a minute.” The chorus is the song’s most captivating element because of its swanky rhymes and vibrant portrayal of artist vitality under the guise of reckless stride.
The song’s bridge is a slow burn that showcases Forte’s vocal and lyrical expertise – “I’ve been in your dreams at night / don’t have to tell me / I’m the leading lady know it drives you crazy / But I’m all yours baby / I’ve been singing lullabies / You’re in the front row / I hope everyone knows / That you’re mine.”
“I Wanna Be Your Rockstar” is an addictive and precise embodiment of the rockstar lifestyle, Forte’s pen is cleverly drawn in this track with a poised perspective and soulful vocal aptitude beyond her years.
