Austin, Texas–based artist Boooka has built his identity on radical emotional honesty. His music doesn’t chase trends or lean on spectacle. Instead, it documents real experiences—especially the uncomfortable ones most people keep to themselves. With his latest single, “EFFINMYTHERAPIST,” Boooka deepens that approach, translating vulnerability, attachment, and emotional disorientation into a record that feels as unsettling as it is essential.
Written by Boooka and produced by krnik, the track arrives alongside a stark visual directed by Ballwith7, with mixing handled by Blanketboi and krnik. Together, the song and video form a stripped-back, intentional experience—one that prioritizes emotional weight over performance or polish.
The video opens in a quiet parking garage. Boooka stands alone, surrounded by concrete and open space. The imagery immediately signals isolation and inward reflection. There are no distractions, no dramatic flourishes—just an artist visibly suspended in thought. It’s a fitting entry point for a song rooted in emotional limbo: craving closeness, fearing abandonment, and questioning where safety truly lives.
As the track unfolds, Boooka examines familiar romantic cycles—connections that start with promise but collapse once emotions deepen. He resists blame or melodrama, opting instead for clarity and restraint, capturing the fatigue of repeatedly feeling unseen.
He raps:
“Every woman I date they come with a way, they tell me I ain’t
I slip and I pray she need some space, I sit back and wait, she wither away
But you woulda stayed, you tell me I’m great
You lighten the mood, you show me the way.”
That tension leads to the song’s most provocative line: “dreams of fuckin my therapist.” Jarring by design, the hook isn’t there for shock value. It points to a real psychological phenomenon—transference—where emotional dependence forms around a therapist who offers consistency, empathy, and care that may be absent elsewhere.
Boooka treats the subject with nuance. “EFFINMYTHERAPIST” doesn’t glorify crossed boundaries or blur ethics. Instead, it reinforces what defines his work: honesty, handled carefully, can be both confronting and deeply human. Press play:
