Killed By Cupid shares sassy new single “Boys Are Easy (But You’ll Never Find A Girl Like Me)”
Adelaide bubblegum-emo artist Killed By Cupid drops her bold new single, “Boys Are Easy (But You’ll Never Find A Girl Like Me).” At its heart, the song is a sharp-edged pop track, produced, mixed, and mastered by Zeo. It captures the aftermath of a breakup, spotlighting the insecurities and emotional pain of missing someone who’s hurt you.
“Boys Are Easy” brings a sassy attitude to vulnerable emotions, with lyrics focusing on seeking physical validation to cope with heartache. Despite its emotional core, the song delivers a confident and audacious contrast to the bitterness of a breakup.
Killed By Cupid is the solo project of Jesse Cumes, blending pop, rock, emo, hyperpop, and pop-punk into her distinctive sound. Drawing from personal experiences with mental health, heartbreak, and self-improvement, Jesse channels her journey into her songwriting, capturing the emotional ups and downs of relationships and life.
Influenced by bands like Metro Station, 3OH!3, and Hellogoodbye, Killed By Cupid debuted in 2022 with the single “Magic,” followed by the ‘Sickly Sweet’ EP, which featured Wolf & Chain’s Jack Cumes. The project has garnered radio play on stations like Radio Adelaide, 4ZZZ, Southern FM, and 5ZZZ, and has been featured in outlets such as Hysteria Mag, New Noise Mag, Scenestr Mag, and HEAVY Mag.
Jesse wears her heart on her sleeve, embracing it as a fashion statement. Her blend of inclusive, relatable lyrics and genre-crossing sound has earned praise from leading Australian media, with Hysteria Mag saying Killed By Cupid “will send you right back to your scene days,” Scenestr calling her “a mix of pop-punk and hyperpop,” and HEAVY Mag labeling her “a colorful dose of angst-themed pop-punk.”
