June 28Jun 28 I know Sombr plays to TikTok and virality but honestly bringing out a song which starts with a reference to the 4th July a week before the 4th July is too transparent for me to deal with. Its so contrived its boring. Homewrecker was similar where you can see the Tik Tok edits a mile away. But his success before was based on how interesting his songs were. Not because they were leaning in to what executives think will hit.I want Sombr to be successful but I do need this to flop a bit. Potential was a better song than this but I guess got overran by Homewrecker. I can't have this working and giving execs an excuse to make him more contrived.
June 29Jun 29 Found this a bit dreary on first listen but the chorus is starting to hit a bit with subsequent listens. Still not up there with 'Undressed' or 'Homewrecker' or '12 To 12' but I guess I can see why it hasn't taken off initially - maybe it still will.
Friday at 15:243 days OK it took a few listens but I'm fully into this now. Such a stunning song! Why are we not talking about it more?
