London-based duo Freekstar is back with their latest single, “Bulletproof,” a high-octane blend of punk rock energy, new wave flair, and electronic experimentation that feels like a rallying cry for the defiant and the fearless. Fronted by the charismatic Sharon Wilson and guitarist Tim Hutchinson, Freekstar delivers a track that’s as much about empowerment as it is about unapologetic self-expression. With its distorted guitars, heart-racing beats, and Wilson’s irresistible vocals, “Bulletproof” is a testament to the transformative power of rock music.
From the opening riff, “Bulletproof” grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. The track is a sonic explosion, driven by Hutchinson’s gritty guitar work and a relentless rhythm section that pulses with punk rock intensity. Wilson’s vocals are the perfect foil—sweet yet sneering, delivering lyrics that are equal parts defiance and liberation. The song’s production is a masterclass in blending raw energy with studio polish, with burbling synths and clever studio tricks adding layers of texture to the mix. It’s a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh, drawing inspiration from legends like Manic Street Preachers and The Stranglers while carving out a space that’s distinctly Freekstar.
Lyrically, “Bulletproof” is an anthem of invincibility, a call to banish self-doubt, fear, and social anxiety. Wilson and Hutchinson want listeners to sing along at the top of their lungs, to stand firm and unshaken in the face of life’s challenges. The song’s message is clear: when you plug in and play, you become unstoppable. It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply, especially in a world that often feels overwhelming.
The accompanying lyric video is a playful yet fitting visual representation of the song’s irreverent spirit. Shot in their living room, Wilson and Hutchinson don plush teddy bear heads and bounce around with instruments real and fake—a guitar, a violin, even a tennis racket—strumming and shredding with unbridled enthusiasm. The video’s whimsical energy perfectly complements the track’s defiant tone, ending with a pillow fight that feels like a celebration of freedom and creativity.
Freekstar’s journey to this point has been one of relentless refinement and passion. Having shared stages with iconic acts like Dubstar and Carter U.S.M., the duo has honed their sound into a potent mix of punk rock energy, new wave style, and electronic experimentation. “Bulletproof” is the culmination of that journey—a track that feels effortless yet is packed with years of experience and dedication.
Freekstar’s “Bulletproof” is a high-energy anthem that reminds us why we turn to rock music in the first place—to feel invincible, to defy the odds, and to celebrate the power of self-expression. With its infectious energy and unapologetic attitude, this track is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever needed a reminder of their own strength.
