Sydney neo-hip hop/pop act hunter 505 breaks through
gender stereotypes and toxic masculinity on anthemic
production “Paint My Nails,” which balances a carefree vibe
with a powerful message on inclusivity and acceptance.
Taken from his forthcoming album <3, the uplifting
production merges airy vocals over heavy bass and quiet
guitars in a celebratory yet contemplative manner.
Speaking of the track, he says, “As someone who has
become acutely aware of the negative impact of toxic
masculinity on myself and everyone else around me, it is
important to me to push back against traditional gender
stereotypes and liberate individuals to feel comfortable to
fully express their genuine selves.”
Crafting an intricate mix of lush pop harmonies and edgy
emo sensibilities, the track is ultimately a love story hinged
on gender fluidity and post-modernity.
Delivering one earworm release after the another, built on
themes of love, pride, self-awareness, and mortality hunter
505 leaves us wanting more of his infectious music.
