Aren’t all of us just a bit bit in love with our favourite artists?
We frequently speak concerning the relationship between artists and their followers as a “parasocial” connection, and it’s comparatively straightforward to grasp why: Followers kind a private bond to the artist by their work, discovering commonality and even group, regardless of by no means understanding the artist personally. Truly, most of us are extra in love with the songs than we’re with the singer, however that didn’t cease our teenage selves from hanging posters in our bedrooms.
Sizzling on the heels of her sophomore EP (which featured in Atwood’s Greatest EPs of 2024), Stevie Invoice’s first single of the yr is an ode to that ever-so-special artist-audience dynamic, and what it feels prefer to be a “fan.” Opening with a intelligent interpolation of a reasonably acquainted – but nonetheless distinct and unique! – melody, “Fan” is, effectively, one for the followers: A track that celebrates feeling ever-so near somebody who doesn’t even know we exist!
I as soon as had a boy
Or ought to I say
He as soon as had me
I sit by the telephone
Hoping he calls
No less than as soon as every week
I’m touching too far
Touching myself
Considering of him
There’s only one little factor
He doesn’t know I exist
“Have you ever ever felt such as you actually know somebody, regardless that you don’t truly know them?” Invoice tells Atwood Journal. “You see them, hear them, and it feels such as you simply get one another. Like they’re your finest buddy, or possibly somebody you’d like to get even nearer to.”
“It’s nearly like being in a relationship, proper? As a result of let’s be trustworthy, if you’re a fan, aren’t you just a bit bit in love too? That bizarre mixture of feeling tremendous related, regardless that there’s a complete world between you. That’s what ‘Fan’ is all about.”
Invoice rises to a cathartic, emotionally charged climax within the refrain. Rosey guitars roar and soar round her as she rides the excessive of that one-sided relationship – a type of intimacy that is aware of no limits, nor distance:
Don’t spoil my urge for food
I simply wanna really feel like you might be mine
I watch you within the highlight
You’d do me when the lights are off
So I could be your fan
One in every of Atwood Journal‘s prime artist discoveries of 2024 and a 2025 artist to observe, Stevie Invoice has entered the brand new yr with a bona fide bop.
“Fan” is a feel-good love track for all of us romantic music lovers on the market – an anthem we will cherish for years to come back, whereas singing aloud on the prime of our lungs.
And whereas the “unique” model of this track was sadly eliminated and changed with a brand new verse (The Beatles are notoriously litigious, and apparently Invoice’s loving nod to “Norwegian Wooden” was seen as a greater than ‘wink’ to the ideas of fandom and Beatlemania by Sony’s copyright group), “Fan” nonetheless slams – or as she wrote, “Even with the brand new verse the refrain nonetheless bangs as exhausting as ever!!!! (No pun meant)”
Don’t spoil her urge for food, and don’t spoil ours, both: “Fan” is a slam dunk – an indie pop fever dream we’ll be singing and swaying to all yr lengthy.
I as soon as knew a lady
Who needed to be identified
For one thing vital
She confirmed me the world
With each track
And each phrase
I do know her so wеll
She’s touching my thoughts
Touching her pores and skin
Therе’s only one little factor
She doesn’t know I exist
Don’t spoil my urge for food
I simply wanna really feel like you might be mine
I watch you within the highlight
You’d do me when the lights are off
So I could be your fan
