Makeup's “All My Friends Are High,” draws inspiration from artists such as David Bowie, Queen, and My Chemical Romance, the emerging UK artist clearly understands how to make bold influences feel like his own. The track is powered by rock guitars, memorable instrumentation, and Makeup’s distinctive vocals. There is an amazing quality running through the production, but the smooth finish keeps the song feeling fresh rather than dated. His songwriting gives the track an extra layer of character, making it difficult to overlook. The song explores friendship, social scenes, and the strange feeling of being surrounded by people living in their own world. It is confident, and refreshingly different, offering another strong glimpse into the artist’s creative potential.
