So I just marathonedĀ all of Lover and oops, I only likedĀ like only 1.5/18 songs: (āI Think He Knowsā) and somewhat (āYou Need To Calm Downā), which Iād already heard.Ā
Then, I listened to Cascadaās song, and that was....also meh š
So I guess the true tea is that they all suck?
Anyway, if you listen toĀ āYou Need To Calm Downā which is kinda cringey at times, it at least makes the good point to stop pitting random successful female singers against each other, so Scottie should probably sit all the way down anyway.
Oh well, Cascada had one of the most successful dance hits of all time, and Taylor Swiftās album is #1 in literally almost every single country right now. [And kudos to her because Scottieās free publicity got me to stream it all on Spotify.]
The real takeaway here (that interests me as a music grad student) is that it still baffles me how (abled) people have the same capacity to hear sound, yet our personal tastes vary so widely that we can listen to the same exact music and have wildly different reactions to it
