Listen to an exclusive premiere of Boston singer/songwriter Izzy Heltai's latest single, '25,' from his upcoming EP mostly myself again.
Boston singer/songwriter Izzy Heltai has returned with “25,” the most recent single from his forthcoming EP—which is set to arrive on October 20. A successor to last month’s “Bad Time,” “25” is a woozy arrangement of slow, dreamy, soulful guitar-driven rock ‘n’ roll that merges a Pavement-style vocal cadence with psychedelic and R&B-inspired construction.
Lyrically, Heltai sings about flirting with a parallel universe where he doesn’t make it past his teens, where his queerness ushers in a certain, inescapable finality. “And if I peaked in high school, then maybe I wouldn’t care,” he croons. “But I was just another queer kid and I thought that I’d be dead by the time I turned 20. Guess I’m pushing all my luck, living past my life expectancy. ‘Cause trans kids normally don’t get this far.
Heltai says about “25”: “I moved back in with my mom about two months before I turned 25. I felt pretty defeated—I’d spent my entire adult life working at something that wasn’t really going anywhere. It felt like I was just beating my head against a wall over and over. I would always get into these conversations with my mom about how I thought maybe I was washed up, and too old for anything else to really happen.
