Grooving drums, catchy melodies, seamless vocal takes—what more could you want from a pop song? Back of My Head by Jos Azuriz is a quintessential slice of modern pop that fulfils that criteria and more. It begins with doo-wop harmonies sat on top of a thumping beat and synth lines reminiscent of As It Was by Harry Styles. When the intro drops, we’re introduced to the alluring vocal melodies of Jos Azuriz.
There’s a theatricality to her delivery. A modern-day comparison might be Chappell Roan, but beyond that, Azuriz’s vocals are smooth like butter and brimming with her own unique characteristics. So what else do you need from a pop song? That’ll be the chorus! Back of My Head has a chorus that will, excuse the pun, stick in the ‘back of my head’ for a long time.
Beyond its pop sensibilities, this track shows deeper meaning. The lyrics explore lost love with intelligence and wit. Speaking directly to the modern age, you’ll dissect lyrics to find gems like: “Started doing yoga to keep calm,” and “Wake up with your name lighting up my lock screen.”
While Back of My Head is undeniably a pop song, it carries an undercurrent of alternative flair. So, if you’re tired of missing out on Sabrina Carpenter tickets, maybe it’s time to become a fan of Jos Azuriz. Not only is this pop with an indie backbone, but you’ll get to say you were there from the start.
