My boyfriend read me that NPR review while I was having my tea and I almost choked because I was laughing so hard. Gah, nothing like a good, relentless dragging to nourish the soul!
I think a mod accidentally edited this in instead of quoting? It's If This Is Love (samples Yazoo's Situation).
NPR taking a little break from ruminating about childhoods spent picking apples at grandma's farm to fucking ether Jesy Nelson is SENDING me afdjlkfj With "Boyz," Nelson (you might know her — if nowhere else — from viral "balegdeh" meme fame) commits the cardinal solo career sin: being boring. Alongside toothless lyrics about liking men with tattoos, Nelson contributes a nondescript vocal that attempts to invoke the spirit of "Dirrty"-era Christina Aguilera but ends up being a bad Camila Cabello impression. Nicki Minaj is the only redeemable part of "Boyz," which makes sense for two reasons: One, Minaj can save any song with a couple of bars. Two, as seen over the past few months, she has done an incredible job of aligning herself with things that are just The Worst.
One of the songs got re-recorded by Steps for their last album. “To the beat of my heart”. Mollie has songwriting credits on the song. It’s so good! I wish Mollie released it. I’d love to hear her version.
