Most of the songs essentially tell the same story: Don’t listen to the people who doubt you.
Thematically, the album is mostly concerned with achieving greatness against the odds.
#MID TEEZO TOUCHDOWN MOVIE#
“Life is a movie that you can’t find bootlegged on someone’s Reddit/My life is a movie where everybody’s hand I shake ends up in the credits,” Teezo sings with a sped-up delivery reminiscent of System of a Down’s Serj Tankian. He was even featured on “Modern Jam,” from Travis Scott’s latest album, Utopia.Īlbum opener “OK” has the defiant, anthemic spirit of Jimmy Eat World or Sum 41, though it is quickly derailed by songwriting that straddles too close to parody. With an adjacency to a seemingly endless Rolodex of in-demand stars, Teezo Touchdown has managed to become the music industry’s influencer du jour, appearing on the social feeds of Tyler, the Creator, Drake, and others. For a long time on Instagram, the primary distribution mechanism for these video snippets, Teezo’s bio read: “Don’t worry, you’re early.” And indeed, the 30-year-old artist has succeeded in capturing the kind of fame best fostered on the platform. Songs like the treacly but heartfelt “Strong Friend,” which doubled as a kind of PSA for mental health awareness. There, he would perform snippets of mostly acoustic, minimal-sounding pop-punk ballads that possessed a bleeding earnestness, almost childlike in their sincerity. In his early videos, the musician Teezo Touchdown mostly appeared in his front yard, standing sort of mawkishly in a way that brings to mind Edward Scissorhands and sporting the now-signature metal nails that adorn his hair.
