Rock/Review The Goldy lockS Band - Talkin to Myself
It is natural in the life of a band for it to change as time passes. Members come and go, styles morph, and attitudes evolve. For most, it is devolution; for a lucky few, an improvement. Far more rarely though is the band that has everything fall into place so perfectly that they become the epitome of what they set out to do. The Goldy lockS Band is one of those rare, blessed exceptions.
The Goldy lockS Band delivers a blisteringly honest anthem with their latest single, Talkin to Myself — a track that’s equal parts frustration, rebellion, and unfiltered truth. Fronted by the fearless and unapologetic Goldy Locks, the band uses this release to confront the dark underbelly of the modern music industry, where women are often expected to trade authenticity for visibility.
Beneath the gritty rock instrumentation and angsty vocals lies a deeper message: Talkin to Myself is a cry against a system that devalues artistry while profiting off hypersexualization. It shines a light on the bleak economics of streaming platforms — where artists earn fractions of a penny per stream — and the pressure placed especially on women to monetize their image rather than their talent.
The accompanying music video adds visual weight to the message, employing bold imagery and shock value not for spectacle, but as a powerful storytelling device. It’s provocative, yes — but it’s also purposeful, using vulnerability as armor rather than exploitation. Goldy Locks doesn’t shy away from the hard truths; she shouts them, making sure they’re heard over the noise.
Talkin to Myself isn’t just a song — it’s a statement. It captures the disillusionment of countless artists navigating a broken industry, while still managing to be sonically infectious and emotionally gripping. With millions of views and growing momentum, The Goldy lockS Band has tapped into something raw, necessary, and utterly real. This is rock with a purpose — and it demands to be heard.
