Pop Baby- Unstoppable (An OPPRESSOR Short Film)

As the cityscape of Pittsburgh paints a palette of old steel and new innovations, there’s a fresh voice echoing through its historic streets. Pop Baby, a local talent who’s treaded the clubs of the Steel City, has now embarked on a journey to captivate the global pop scene. With his debut album “Oppressor,” the singer-songwriter melds together performance art, technology, fashion, and theatre, creating an immersive pop spectacle.

Pop Baby’s musical concoction borrows flavors from pop, EDM, and pop punk, creating a vibe that will remind listeners of legends like Lady Gaga and Kesha, with sprinkles of Panic! At The Disco and 3OH!3. This intriguing blend gives him an edge, presenting something familiar yet innovative.

One of the standout tracks from “Oppressor” is “Unstoppable”. Not only does it capture Pop Baby’s undeniable energy, but it also serves as a testament to his journey in the music industry. As someone who’s been repeatedly told “no” due to reasons like a smaller fan base or seemingly outlandish ideas, Pop Baby’s persistence and belief in his craft are awe-inspiring. “Unstoppable” isn’t just a song – it’s an anthem for every dreamer who’s faced obstacles but refused to bow down.

The visual accompaniment for “Unstoppable”, available here, takes this sentiment to the next level. Labeling it as merely a music video would be a gross understatement. Crafted like a short film, the video dives deep into Pop Baby’s personal journey. It depicts the grind of juggling day jobs with musical dreams, ultimately summoning the courage to chase those aspirations. Produced on a shoestring budget, the music video showcases Pop Baby’s resourcefulness. Collaborating with award-winning filmmaker friends, the artist managed to produce a visual narrative that he fondly compares to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”.

The Pittsburgh music scene has long been a breeding ground for talent, and Pop Baby seems poised to be its next big export. His passion for performance, coupled with a sound that’s both nostalgic and refreshing, means “Oppressor” is likely just the beginning of a fascinating musical odyssey. As Pop Baby continues to break boundaries and defy industry norms, one thing is for sure: he’s unstoppable.
