Rat Boy - Get Over It

Since his first pitter-pattering steps at the beginning of last year, Rat Boy’s been defined by chaos. A veritable Dennis The Menace, his troublemaking tendencies have led the way. ‘Get Over It’, though, marks something of a heel-turn - he’s put down the silly-string, the skateboard and and the books of matches, and opted for a daiquiri and a Hawaiian shirt instead.

Skipping along atop a skittering hip-hop beat, there’s an upbeat edge to ‘Get Over It’ that Rat Boy’s never shown before. He’s hardly a down in the dumps singy-songwriter, but there’s been a bratty, teenage angst edge to his actions thus far. Now, though, he’s all beaming grins and parping horns. It’s a carnival number at heart, proving that even when he’s chilling, Rat Boy’s output is packed full of sherbet energy.

He might be “sick of comparisons”, but it’s not getting to him any more - instead Rat Boy’s basking in the glory of his rocket-powered success story. With a ridiculously massive UK tour approaching, he’s riding that wave of hype all the way to the beach party.
