Empty Pinata just released “TikTok Girl”, it’s exactly the kind of song you didn’t know you needed. This indie-bedroom pop track tackles the weird reality of crushing on someone you’ve only seen scrolling past at 2am, and it does so with a sense of humor that never gets in the way of the actual music. The hooks are sticky, the vibe is laid-back, and there’s a realness here that’s hard to find in a lot of pop music right now.
He’s not pretending to be cooler than he is, and that’s probably why this works so well. The lyrics are rich and clever, the clean production keeps things simple enough to let the song breathe.
Empty Pinata clearly knows his strengths and plays to them without overcomplicating things, and this single continues to build on the personality he’s been developing, and you can tell he’s having fun with it. If you want to keep up with where he’s going next and see more of his creative process, you should definitely follow Empty Pinata on Instagram at @emptypinata because he’s clearly got more up his sleeve.
