Fans of Bad Bubble (BB) finally got the cathartic release he delivers with every record in “Frustrate”. Written in 2021 and released on November 28th, 2024, the track runs 3 minutes and 33 seconds and immediately makes an impact with its darkwave synths and exposed, raw vocals. This isn’t a song meant to be taken lightly; it wears its heart on its sleeve and demands emotional involvement, leaving a lasting impression. The track avoids trend-driven production, focusing instead on honesty and intensity that resonate with listeners.
BB recorded “Frustrate” live on a TASCAM 24-channel mixing board, capturing the performance in a single take. There are no retakes, no digital fixes, and no studio fluff only pure, unfiltered energy. The slight imperfections give the song its character, while the minimal synth backdrop allows BB’s vocals to take center stage. The result is both heavy and liberating, a statement of unwavering resolve rather than rage. The combination of haunting instrumentation and urgent vocal delivery makes the track both crushing and captivating, pulling the listener into its emotional core.
For Bad Bubble, “Frustrate” is more than just a single; it is the gateway to his ambitious triple album, ‘A Conclusion,’ released in August 2025. The song showcases his evolution as an artist committed to authenticity, building on years of honing his craft. Fans of Nine Inch Nails, Joywave, and Tame Impala may recognize echoes of their sound, but the track remains distinctly BB. With the accompanying video directed by Jeffrey Panzer, the release has already garnered attention, cementing “Frustrate” as one of his most personal, uncompromising, and defining works to date.
