Song You Should Know About 4/8/15 - Who Is Fancy's "Goodbye"

Today's SYSKA comes from the unlikely stable of artists under the wing of Scooter Braun, who is responsible for the scourge that is Justin Bieber in terms of personal artist management. But just like flowers that grow from piles of shit fertilizer, comes artists like Carly Rae Jepsen and newcomer Who Is Fancy, one of those artist moniker acts like Owl City and Marina & The Diamonds, but in this case the identity has been kept under tight wraps until this week. With his single "Goodbye" in the Mainstream Pop top-40 for over a month, and sport three mirrored videos that surreptitiously revel and mock the boy-idol culture that made the label a success, the artist and management cultivated a mystery around him that gathered more attention. Having a Bieber ringer lipsync the "Sam Smith really doing Adele" groove didn't give a hint away that the person in the clip wasn't the owner of the finished product, making it 2015 first big fourth-window video. The alternates have a full-figured African-American girl and a trans muscle-twink perform identically (and on his website itself you can swerve between all three by clicking on it)...

Well, it turns out that "Who Is Fancy?" is young gay singer/songwriter Jake Hagood, and as he made his reveal on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last night, after a row of model lip-synced along, the cubbish young man with a drawer full of eye makeup and a blazer to die for emerged....


I guess you can consider Hagood the "anti-Bieber", representing the tweens from his era that didn't grow up to be "swag". And I guess we can thank him for that. You can pick up "Goodbye" for just 69 cents by clicking here, or on iTunes...
