For most of the population, there were many negatives that came out of the pandemic, but Australian singer
songwriter, TIN, turned one negative into a positive. His new single, Buzzed, talks of the the drinking problem
that he developed during lockdown and how he learnt to embrace it rather than fight it.
“I had so many issues during the pandemic and the only way I could see to cope with it all was to drink.
Eventually it became a habit that I would learn to embrace. I’ve since cut my drinking back a lot but at the time,
it helped me escape from a really frustrating and exhausting few years.”
Buzzed follows the concept of TIN’s previous single aptly titled Chasing Highs and shows another aspect of
partying in the gay community. The music video explores many different themes, including dark rooms,
hallucinations and substance abuse, with each scene representing a different substance.
“The world of partying for gay men is a whole discourse in itself. We have our own language, we have our own
traditions and having come out of the pandemic a different person, I’ve fallen in love with this world all over
again. I feel like a kid in a candy store and this song is anthemic to that celebration.”
Buzzed is the second single from TIN’s upcoming EP out later this year. It is now available on all streaming
services and can be seen at www.tinofficialmusic.com.
