An ear-pleasing pop-rock genre fusion that’s ready to electrify your senses.
Sydney-based multi-talent Junipo, known offstage as Oliver Kirby, has dropped Soundspeed, a six-track EP brimming with DIY spirit and fearless creativity. Kicking off the project is “Explora 95,” an alternative rock powerhouse that perfectly captures the project’s sense of freedom and community-driven artistry.
Junipo describes Soundspeed as “built on the DIY spirit and the support of the creative community around me,” emphasizing that these songs came from a place of fun and liberation rather than deadlines or expectations. He calls it “singular, honest and collaborative,” a fitting mantra for a project that blends personal storytelling with adventurous production.
“Explora 95,” accompanied by a striking music video, delivers emotionally charged instrumentals and bold, infectious beats. Standout lyrics like “Carry the weight, lent you my shoulder / Used to feeling so young but the year just ticked over” and “You can’t change / Where you started from” reflect on self-acceptance and confronting the ghosts of the past.
With expressive vocals and explosive guitar lines, Junipo crafts a dazzling pop-rock fusion that begs to be played loud. Soundspeed marks a confident first chapter, showcasing an artist ready to electrify listeners and carve his own path.
