“Too Sweet” by Hozier

Amateur, garage band style production. Jesus those breaths- I don't get it. Oh... Oh, god, here we go that chorus - lyrically juvenile - some guitar tones - but still sound like a Garage band setting - which I guess is cool? Fucking foodie rock? Incredibly unremarkable - but listen how sparse the stupid bells and percussion are.

“Beautiful Things” by Benson Boone

Trying to imagine this as sung less precious / shitty. Maybe? - still such shitty millennial production with the corporate “ohh ahh” - Jesus fuck this bullshit - what a fucking wanker. Music for people who never leave their hometown - down feel bad it’s their fault.

“Texas Hold ‘Em” by Beyonce

Masterful, not for me, but great. "Don’t be a bitch take it to the floor now" - nice. The whistling and fx are Disney-corny as shit though.

“Lose Control” by Teddy Swims

Sounds like it was written by a committee - learn from this over sanded sound - but it fucking sucks - like the perfumed sweat of a professional guitar tech. I really want to hit skip now.

“We Can’t Be Friends (wait for your love) by Ariana Grande

A special combination of old Eurotrash and pre-adolescent music. A Netflix show runner approves this from the music coordinator in an early morning email, turns it off half-way through and enjoys the silence. The vocals are sooo fucking loud.
