Toxic masculinity usually finds its way into music and, unfortunately, into the lives of men worldwide. Common characteristics include shying away from vulnerability and avoiding accountability like the plague. Thankfully, Farris addresses this in his latest single, “Bad Guy.” The song, released last week, delves into understanding how heartbreak isn’t synonymous with gender and men can be vulnerable despite stereotypes.

“‘Bad Guy’ is just like all of my other music. It’s really a song that came about by me venting about a real-life situation,” Farris said. “Yes, I’m a strong, masculine, Black man from Inglewood, but I have no problem being vulnerable and singing about the downs as well as the ups and keeping it honest in my music.”

For Farris’ legions of fans who are excited about this new track, he says that it’ll be similar to his other pieces of art.

“Listeners can expect what they get from the rest of my art, which is honesty. It’s one of those things where I wanted to open up and show a perspective that most people shy away from.” Farris said. “I’m not perfect, and I don’t play the victim like I haven’t also been the bad guy. That’s why the whole tagline is sometimes women can be the bad guy in relationships.”
