Boy pablo’s breezy indie pop is full of poignant tales as relatable as the gentle voice behind them. That comforting croon belongs to Nicolás Pablo Rivera Muñoz, a Chilean singer/songwriter raised in Bergen, Norway, where he started solo project boy pablo as a teenager. His soft-hued mix of jangly surf guitars and billowing synths belies a youthful angst as he navigates first loves and all the heartbreak that follows. Hints of The Smiths sneak into songs like 2017 breakout single “Everytime,” about the lovelorn girl whose crush “sees right through her,” and the giddy guitar-pop charmer “Hey Girl,” which captures all the nerves of saying “I love you.”
