The debut single by Googly Eyes, “Internet Star,” is a rallying cry for a generation born on the internet and trying to find its way through the chaos. Googly Eyes is a wizard of sound, an architect of lyrics, whose magic lies in simple but honest vulnerability.
“Internet Star” feels like dreams being inflated like balloons, which you hold onto with a thin thread of hope as they drift into the infinite. Googly Eyes’ voice is like a soft summer breeze, gently brushing against your skin. It has innocence, but also a strange power that makes you wonder, “What if?”
The track’s atmosphere ironically reflects the ambition to become an “internet star” — a light that burns bright but often briefly. In Googly Eyes’ music, there is something comforting — a reminder that even if the star hasn’t risen, it still burns somewhere inside each person.
