We named Jobi Riccio's debut Whiplash one of the best country albums of 2023, though her music has at least as much to do with alternative rock. The Nashville artist has been gradually doling out singles since then, and today she shared a new one that's billed as a preview of LP2. "Buzzkill" is a spunky, catchy salt-of-the-earth rock song that will appeal to fans of Alex Lahey or Eliza McLamb or even Sheryl Crow.
A word from Riccio:
"Buzzkill" is a punk-inspired story of extended adolescence and transitioning into your mid to late twenties. My adult life didn't start with the bang I had anticipated when my graduation coincided with a pandemic. It was easy to angst out about not living the movie version of what I thought my life should be at that point, while simultaneously not having much of the financial security my parents' generation had. I needed to process and accept that sometimes life sucks, but that it’s not because of anything I did or didn’t do.

"Buzzkill" is out now on Yep Roc.
