Bum Alum can make the most gripping bedroom pop, and does so on his first single from an upcoming EP, “Adaptions”. “TheGame4Life” is a synth-driven song, with lyrics detailing a constant need for social media praise. With a mid-tempo beat and dulled keys that feel playfully lazy, the song can make the subject matter feel mundane, yet the beat will keep you moving.
