Review: "Wild Things" - Serena Foster

Serena’s Foster latest single, Wild Things, is an electro pop song inspired by the children’s book, Where The Wild Things Are. The book is about a mischievous young boy who goes on a wild adventure after getting in trouble at home. It explores themes of imagination and rebellion which are reflected in the lyrics of this song. The music video fits the vibe of the song because of the forest and day time setting. Upon first listen, it gave me immediate late 2000’s, early 2010’s vibes, but I couldn’t put my finger on which popstar from that era she reminded me of. She did say this song was inspired by Lady Gaga. As a Little Monster myself, I completely agree.

Wild Things starts off slow, the clapping and lyrics begin, then the chorus kicks in and you feel the instant urge to bop your head along. As I mentioned earlier, the themes are reflected with lyrics like “Enticing is an understatement, Freedom from my heartbeat blazing”, “I’d rather be wild, banned, exiled, than a repeat bandit”, and “Where are the wild things, Am I the only one”. The song ends with a slow wind down of Serena’s oh-ohs. Pure silence for several seconds while you grasp the song’s hold on you. Her smooth and consistent tone and singing style complement the song and the message she is going for. It is a certified bop from start to finish and I highly recommend it.

Serena Foster is an independent artist born in Simi Valley, California and based in Los Angeles. Her love of music started at the age of four. As the years went by, she became multi-talented: singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, performer, producer, filmmaker, and director. She cites Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, and Natalie Cole as her biggest musical influences and the reason for getting into music in the first place. Not music related, but Lady Gaga literally took her flowers at Coachella which I can only imagine was a dream come true. She’s been releasing music for almost 10 years now, so if you are looking for more pop artists to support, she needs to be high on that list.
