‘FOREVER GOODBYE’
Single Review

Review by Melanie Griffiths

Melbourne’s Cammi Koi’s latest single “Forever Goodbye” is the kind of track that feels like a shot of pop-punk adrenaline, tempered with just enough mainstream sheen to appeal to the masses. It’s bratty, it’s cheeky and reminds us that breakups suck but in the end, they only make us stronger.
Cammi’s been honing her talents as an upcoming songwriter and musician. She’s already got several singles to her name including “Right As Rain” and “You Are Not Alone”. With “Forever Goodbye” Cammi develops her sound and penchant for honest storytelling. The song came to fruition through the frenetic demise of a relationship and Cammi’s feelings of limerence for a situation that wasn’t good for her. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? We’ve all been there and in “Forever Young” Cammi is taking that energy and channelling it into calling out bogus relationships.

The song is a little messy, impulsive and unapologetic, typical for the pop-punk vibe it exudes. Its chaotic charm of thrashing guitar riffs and punchy drum beats with a hooky chorus hits the mark for anyone who’s ever fallen for someone who thrives on toxicity. You can hear her raw emotion wrapped up in catchy hooks.
A driving electric guitar riff anchors the song, and a polished synth pulsates underneath the crisp but glossy mix. It’s fun while still gripping onto its rough edges allowing for Cammi’s fierce vocal to deliver the verses with a playful snarl before sliding into a brash chorus that’s hard to resist.
With its undeniable catchiness and punchy energy, “Forever Goodbye” stands as a fun reminder of why Cammi is an artist to watch in the pop-punk world. For anyone seeking a quick hit of rebellion, joy and emotional growth, it’s definitely worth adding to the playlist.

BIO
Born and raised in the bustling city of Melbourne, Cammi’s journey started at the age of 5 years old. Her youthfulness and curiosity about the world had eclipsed her into music and the arts, and at an early age, she began vocal lessons and committed herself to extensive practice. Her appreciation for music, even from a young age, felt like a force she held in the palm of her hands; unbeknownst it would turn into her greatest achievement.
Her love of songwriting has given her the opportunity to use music as a vehicle to inspire awareness and change, through a kaleidoscope of colour and sound. From her very first single, Right As Rain, through to her most recent works, You Are Not Alone, Jasper, and Emerald Lasts Forever, she continues to innovate and express her creativity through honest storytelling, set in motion to create substance and meaning to her songs.
