Aaron Porter delivers honesty and empowerment on powerful pop debut "BOY"

07 November 2018, 10:35 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Take a glimpse into Aaron Porter's queer pop world with his self-assuring debut track "BOY".

"BOY" opens as a sultry R&B groove, uniting with Porter's soulful vocals to guide pulses of slick electronica to a desirous bridge that unfolds Porter's vocal capabilities.

Porter's debut features a huge club banger chorus that reels between Porter's vigorous vocals, infectious electro-pop and sexually charged R&B that embraces his message with elegance.

Describing his debut further, Porter explains, ""BOY" for me is about the struggle of breaking down traditional gender stereotypes, I've felt a serious pressure to be what I thought people wanted me to be, and just now am I finding the true power in being my own boy."

Being a newcomer to the pop scene is never easy, but Porter is willing to stay true to himself just as long as he can help others, “I think often we’re not allowed to really show much emotion or be very feminine, so I’m just going to go full out as me and hope people get on board and it helps someone.”

"BOY" was co-written between Porter and London duo Nimmo. The track features vocal production from Cameron Gower Poole (Dua Lipa, Ray BLK, Anne Marie), while the instrumentals were produced by Tev’n.
