2hollis' upcoming album, 'star', marks a meaningful return to his earlier myth-making while exploring the complexities of hero worship. Following his successful tour, this Los Angeles rapper incorporates sincere emotional themes of crushes and breakups into energetic Dolby productions. The work weaves together touching sentiment with heavy beats, aiming to resonate with both Gen Z listeners and dedicated Opium fans. Songs like 'Destroy Me' and 'Tell Me' exemplify the conflict between desire for adoration and the fatigue that comes with it, creating a layered and reflective listening experience.
"You preach, I'll beam, they teach," Hollis bellows on "Destroy Me," a sweaty electro-pop workout wedged in star's center section.
In "Tell Me," a name-searcher's lament, Hollis delves into the contradictory desires to be adored and ignored.
