Thammarat Music Reviews

"Single Umbrella" finds and then blurs the line between traditional pop music in a synth-driven foundation and the elegance of classical symphony, with a reminiscence of [Josh] Groban’s powerful vocals. The bouncy beat of synth-pop with Thammarat’s twinkling falsetto adds a bold rush of joyfulness, flitting past your head with kaleidoscopic sparkles, but, and this is for me, the gradual diminuendo to an organic orchestral tone with heart-warming strings and dulcet tenor is the better part of two songs seemingly stitched together as one.

Even if you haven’t been in Thammarat’s exact situation, the emotions are universal—we’ve all been in places where we’ve questioned our worth in someone else’s story. And that’s what makes “Buckle Up” resonate so deeply. It’s not just about heartbreak—it’s about picking yourself back up, strapping in, and moving forward.

This one’s a must-listen, especially if you’re a fan of theatrical pop, introspective songwriting, and songs that hit you right in the gut. Buckle up, because this track takes you on a ride.

What makes “Normal” especially impactful is that it’s not just speaking to or for the queer community—it’s inviting everyone to think about what it means to be “normal.” It challenges the idea that conformity equals worthiness and flips that narrative on its head. THAMMARAT doesn’t just share their story—they give us space to see our own in it, too.

The lyricism feels personal but not exclusionary. He admits upfront that the whole premise comes from his own experience of seeing a guy and instantly building a small universe of “what-ifs” around him. That yearning is universal. Who hasn’t felt that quiet spark where hope and insecurity wrestle each other in the background? Even if you’re not queer, the song doesn’t feel like it’s gatekeeping the feeling. Instead, it invites you in: “You know this moment,” it seems to say. “It’s just mine in this particular shape.”

Musically, it’s got that hazy, dreamy aesthetic that fans of Clairo, Boy Pablo, or early Rex Orange County will immediately recognize. A simple drum machine pulse, warm melodic synths, and a powerful yet intimate vocal.
