Whether it’s flipping the bird at the entire world in “The Rebellion Continues”, revisiting a fizzled out engagement on “Titanic”, or giving us a new crush anthem while expressing new mind developments in “JC//Anxiety Driven”; Feenix Bipolar does it more boldly than ever on this powerful and enlightening new album “CREATOR”.

        After deadly silence for months Feenix Bipolar is back to give his audience an update on what’s been going on since 2018’s “High & Mighty”. What’s new? Nothing much and yet all the same a lot. While the majority of Bipolar’s albums focus on him wanting everyone to be as offended as possible with his demeanor, “CREATOR” finally takes aim at a question maybe some fans have been asking since the artist emerged on Reverbnation years; WHY he is the way he is. The answer? A doubtful father possibly, not being accepted at a younger age, ex-associates turning their backs on him, getting to where he needed to be by learning to face harsh lessons and accept that life was the way it was (just to name a few). Bipolar leads the brigade of depressed, anxious, yet angry and silly individuals who are short of the courage to push forward in accepting themselves by delivering not only catchy tunes this time around but songs that are going to make you think.

        For the first time in my opinion; Bipolar is truly letting us into his mind and not just it’s surface. What did I take from this album? His engagement had quite it’s ups and downs of verbal abuse in his direction, physical mishaps that led him to unfortunately depart from someone he’s been making music about since the beginning of his career. Drinking caused an upward rise in his notoriety as an artist but a downward spiral that caused a diagnosis of anxiety and depression, leading him to surrender alcohol and write this album soberly. He has made new friends that are mentioned for the first time on this album, undoubtedly in Virginia before his move West, and even developed a crush on someone new that he insists won’t be heading in any direction. He picks himself up but puts himself down in the same sequences, the album says “Hey, I’m happy, sad, angry, feeling great, and useless all at the same time. Let’s party about it.” It is insisted on this album that understanding and love are two luxuries that artists will never have the privilege of truly having. A depressing take but Bipolar seems to accept it and make lemonade out of lemons.

        Bipolar knows for a fact his music is valued, which is why he’s still around and delivering his antics to the right audience. He’s gotten more creative, lyrical, and even funnier as the year has lapsed and isn’t afraid to tell his audience just what he’s been through and that he isn’t quite finished yet. Imagine yourself being a therapist with Bipolar as your patient, but instead of him telling you what’s on his mind outright, he makes it music. Beautifully delivered, extremely thoughtful, hilarious at times, heartbreaking at others, and with it all wrapped together; brilliant. Bipolar hasn’t lost his touch just yet. A perfect beginning to the artists new life with new connects and a new location.
