Sometimes, doing “something different” for an artist means rediscovering where you came from. Orlando singer/songwriter Jarrett Randazzo has spent the past few years of his career releasing an impressive string of infectious, 80’s-inspired synth-pop. But after the year that was 2020, he put down his sequencer, and picked up his guitar again — trying to make some sense after, like so many of us, seeing his life and livelihood turned upside down. The result is “I’m the Enemy”, the first full-length <a href="spotify:artist:3ajLuINKLxr5NJLa9pk5to" data-name="Copperpot">Copperpot</a> record in over a decade.
The first single and lead track. “The Last Time” is a masterclass in guitar-first, hook heavy songwriting, with obvious nods to kindreds like The Maine, All Time Low, and Weezer, but at the same time singular to Randazzo’s signature vocal delivery and his sharp, almost subversive juxtaposing of cutting lyrics over magnetic melodies.
Songs like, “Over Now” and “Out of Control” serve as natural, power-pop successors to Copperpot’s eponymous release, while “Do You Still Love Me At All?”, “Carry On”, and “Say Goodbye” stray deeper both lyrically and sonically than Randazzo’s ever ventured before. Each track somehow manages to feel hyper-personal while still immediately relatable, and they connect with a poignant immediacy that feels absolutely necessary for Randazzo to exercise.
“I’m the Enemy” isn’t a “return to form” for Copperpot’s Jarrett Randazzo, it’s a reminder to everyone listening that he never left.
