Unraveling Frustration, Finding Power
With Hungry For More, Elliot Bam turns frustration into fuel, creating a piece that is as haunting as it is cathartic. Built on a foundation of stirring piano, the track layers emotion upon emotion until it reaches a fever pitch. The gradual ascent—piano to percussion, then to the blast of electric guitar—mirrors the emotional spiral of trying to reach someone unwilling to change. It’s a structure that pulls listeners into Bam’s world and doesn’t let go.
What sets this track apart is its honesty. Bam doesn’t hide behind metaphorical gloss or overly polished production. Instead, he allows the song to breathe with imperfections, giving it the feel of something lived-in and true. That authenticity resonates, particularly within the queer storytelling space he champions. Here, the message isn’t softened for mainstream comfort; it is presented with grit, urgency, and heart.
The influences of alternative rock are undeniable, but Bam’s touch makes the genre feel newly charged. There are echoes of Fiona Apple’s intensity and Hozier’s dramatic crescendos, yet the sound is distinctly his own—lean, fiery, and emotionally precise.More than anything, Hungry For More is proof of Bam’s artistry. It balances activism with artistry, storytelling with sonic force. The track leaves you both drained and exhilarated, the mark of a song that does more than entertain—it lingers.
