wolfacejoeyy Drops Summer Anthem “finsta/bia”
The weather is heating up and so is wolfacejoeyy as he sparks some summertime sexiness on his latest double single release, “finsta/bia.” Previewed on his socials and on Twitch streamer Tylil‘s livestream, the opening track “finsta” is a fun play on the way lovers socialize on and offline. Paired with melodic twinkly triangle percussions and a distorted uptempo bass beat, “finsta” is evocative of an infatuation with a love interest that is growing with rapid speed and intensity but its relevance revolves around both partners showing their true selves online, “Put me in a picture, I wanna know the real you/ Can I get your finsta,” wolfacejoeyy raps. Ultimately the track is a surface-level romance but joeyy’s silky voice and nostalgic melodies propel the listener to bask in the excitement that comes with peeling back the layers of a new partner, no matter how serious the situation may be.
Similarly, the accompanying single “bia” is a bouncy dedication to a favorite lover. Named after the “Whole Lotta Money” rapper, the single features wolfacejoeyy flatteringly rapping about his favorite lady and her best qualities. He utilizes synth-driven horns, bumping percussions synonymous with Jersey Club, and softer, fluttering harp chords which express the fondness he has for his crush.
“finsta/bia” are Wolfacejoeyy’s latest singles following the release of his debut album Valentino. The album is home to the buzzing single “cake,” which went viral on TikTok, along with acclaimed singles like the heartfelt “don’t be dishonest,” and “I Know,” produced by WhereIs22. “cake” has quickly become a fan-favorite, generating over 160K combined views across social platforms before its official release, earning co-signs from stars like Sexyy Red, Rubi Rose, Veeze, and Kaliii on social media. The song has inspired more than 52.9k video creations on TikTok. The flirty music video for “cake” recently surpassed 4.8 million views on YouTube, becoming joeyy’s most-viewed video to date. Featuring additional production from Synthetic and many others, Valentino is available now on all platforms.
With a new project under his belt, joeyy is aiming to improve upon his breakout 2023, in which he partnered with Whereis22, on the acclaimed EP 22Joeyy. The album featured the single “weekend” ft. Cash Cobain & Chow Lee, acclaimed by Pitchfork, and additional guest spots from SoFaygo and B-Lovee. Joeyy discussed the project in an interview with BET, and a profile in HYPEBEAST that came out earlier this year, and his fiery 2023 inspired Complex to place him on their list of Rappers to Watch in 2024. After the success of 22Joeyy, joeyy kept the train rolling, opening for Eem Triplin on tour, throwing a headlining show earlier this year at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn, and delivering a standout performance at Rolling Loud California 2024. With over 1 million streams per week on his catalog and recently being revealed as an opener for 4batz’s upcoming “Thank You, Jada Tour,” joeyy rolls into Spring 2024 with a head of steam.
