BIZZY’S Next Musical Chapter Begins with "Tastes Like Shit"
Article by Bhumika Choudhary
BIZZY is back with her latest single, “Tastes Like Shit,” a cheeky yet heartfelt dive into the tumultuous world of heartbreak. Known for her ability to blend deeply personal experiences with anthemic, upbeat production, BIZZY delivers a sassy, guitar-driven rock-pop track that is as rallying as it is raw.
“Tastes Like Shit” marks a new chapter in BIZZY’s evolution, offering a different perspective from her recent single “Default Setting.” While “Default Setting” examined the struggle to break free from toxic relationships, “Tastes Like Shit” shifts the focus inward as BIZZY reckons with her own role in breakups. “This song is me realizing I’ve been the bad guy before,” she admits.
BIZZY unapologetically calls herself out in this single with, “I am an asshole, a hypocrite.” Fans are reminded that no matter what the perspective, she will always take listeners on a wild ride through the messy stages of heartbreak.
Produced by Gus van Go, known for his work with The Beaches, the track channels both angst and vulnerability, but to some sick rock tunes. The song begins with a list of broken hearts and immediately listeners are hooked. Some of my favorite lyrics from this single are:
Maybe karma is not fake the way I thought it was
Maybe I should have been more careful when it comes to love
I got a taste of my own medicine, and it tastes like shit
Personally, as always, BIZZY’s lyrics not only pull me in but also resonate with me. I am sure her fans will also find themselves in this single.
2023 was a breakout year for the rising singer-songwriter, with the release of her acclaimed debut EP, I Don’t Get Breakups. The EP was featured on SiriusXM Hits 1’s Hitbound, championed by Jason Kramer of KCRW, and earned praise from tastemakers like Ones To Watch. Signing her first record deal with Big Loud Rock, BIZZY also embarked on her debut US tour, supporting FRENSHIP across 15+ major cities.
With “Tastes Like Shit,” BIZZY continues to prove why she’s a burgeoning star in the alt-pop scene. Her storytelling of teeth-clutching realism, combined with powerful vocals and anthemic production, makes this track a must-listen.
