Boy Jr’s I Love Getting Dumped! is an audacious, cathartic journey through heartbreak, self-deprecation, and the twisted pleasures of romantic failure. With its cheeky title and unflinching honesty, the album presents itself as a diary of youthful angst and emotional unraveling, delivered with the kind of punk-tinged indie pop that demands you listen closer. Whether you’ve been in the throes of an excruciating breakup or just need a cathartic soundtrack to your existential musings, this album offers an unapologetically raw take on the pains and odd joys of modern love.
Highlights include “I Hope You Feel Terrible”, a wicked smart anthem all about trying to find closure. Then there is “Bullying Myself”, a realization of how hard we can truly be on ourselves. “Still Be Friends” is the highlight of the album, showing the overall theme of heartbreak but with the artist’s quick wit and anger on full display. The juxtaposition of light and dark, energetic and introspective, makes I Love Getting Dumped feel like an emotional rollercoaster—exactly how a breakup should feel.
Boy Jr. is the music of Ariel Allen-Lubman (they/them) who is also a popular social media personality. Their album I Love Getting Dumped! is everything we hoped it would be and more, take a listen now.
