Jobi Riccio is a Nashville indie Americana artist, but with her new single “Buzzkill,” she leans into a more punk style, rock-forward sound. This shift mirrors her angsty, introspective lyrics, which capture what it’s like to navigate your twenties and the emotional phases that define those years.
As someone in my mid-twenties, I find this song articulates a widely shared but often unspoken feeling: that growing up isn’t linear or easy. It’s a time of trial and error, constant change, and searching for identity, often without seeing immediate progress.
Toward the end of the track, Riccio offers reassurance that we don’t have to be just one thing. We’re allowed to evolve, experiment, and exist in flux, as long as we stay true to ourselves.
