PURE ENERGY is a melodic, energetic pop compilation of songs with some elements of rock that feel nostalgic. The writing on the EP encapsulates the pressures of anxiety while Lizotte still finds a way to make it adventurous and profound. The descriptive lyrics paint an image and make you feel in the artist’s mind. 

The EP is a representation of how Lizotte has used songwriting as a way to cope with the ups and downs of life. “To express myself, I’ve learned how to jump off a million cliffs when it comes to taking risks,” Lizotte said. “My project PURE ENERGY is about feeling everything at once and looking like a bit of everything, too.”

The intro track, “I HATE SUNDAY” is a good reflection of getting a feel of Lizotte’s honesty. In the track, they compare their brain to Sundays—giving you an imaginative visual to understand the comparison. The dreamy pop song transitions the listener to what sounds like it would be an early 00’s movie soundtrack.

Moving forward the other songs like “EVIL TWIN” and “LITTLE KING” take different instrumental approaches showing the range that Lizotte is capable of. “EVIL TWIN” is a more guitar and bass-heavy pop-rock song compared to the stripped-down acoustic of  “LITTLE KING.”

The collections of songs are each different but still recognizable to THE BLSSM sound. The project shows their talent and creative potential, which is exciting to see what they put out next. PURE ENERGY is transcendent and meaningful while keeping it real with no filter.

We can't wait to hear what’s next for THE BLSSM! Make sure to catch the artist on a North American tour with Role Model in a city near you.
