“BAD CHILD doesn’t want people to understand him. The genre-bending multi-talented grueling artist overflows into his music. It shows in his new album Free Trial, a title inspired by dating apps and ad culture. A five-year journey he starved for so we could have this 19-track piece of his life. He even adds little interludes that guide us through the album as we sign up for the free trial and fall deeply in love later. The production and flow of this album is one to be applauded.” – Euphoria
“Canadian artist BAD CHILD grapples with the possibilities on his debut album Free Trial. The record examines our current methods of connection through the lens of cynicism and a genre-bending soundscape. Melding electronic elements with hard-rock instrumentals and hints of trap and dubstep, BAD CHILD explores the intricacies of human emotion in an age where our interactions are becoming increasingly artificial.” – Culture Collide
“In an age where most of our lives are lived online, there’s no better time to take a deep dive into the pool of human connection in an online setting. While some would find that plunge daunting, Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Isaiah Steinberg, better known as BAD CHILD, has been swimming in it with ease. Now, pulling together years of work from both past and present, Steinberg presents his debut album Free Trial.” – Atwood Magazine
