Max Lawrence – Confection

Australian artist 'Max Lawrence' releases the catchy new elec­tro pop song 'Confection', fea­tur­ing themes of desire and tempta­tion. Subliminally, how­ever, cri­ti­cism of con­sumer­ism is also included lyrically.

Max Lawrence says about the song: “The candy is tempt­ing you to buy it and is essen­tially just a bunch of chem­ic­als man­u­fac­tured in a cer­tain way to get the con­sumer addicted for profit. It’s all ‘Buy Me’, ‘Eat Me’, ‘Love Me’, which we see a lot in the mod­ern age with the com­modi­fic­a­tion of the self through social media, reflect­ing this neo-cap­it­al­ist fever dream we’re cur­rently in.”.

Among oth­er great bands also this track is part of our Spotify playl­ist 'Synth Pop Newcomers 2021'.
