3. EMA, “California”
EMA dubbed her signature song a “rap ballad” and she performs it like a time-lapse corner-boy soliloquy, squinting through a 3 a.m. hangover haze, theatrically summoning Tupac’s out-on-bail-fresh-outta-jail compulsion as much as PJ Harvey’s mystical swagger. No California love here, though, homie

Spin’s incomprehensible love letter to EMA. I love this song. I see they were trying to do something loose and cool here. But what do these two sentences actually MEAN?! “Time-laps corner-boy soliloquy”?! (via judyxberman) And the award for worst two sentences written this year goes to… (via likeapairofbottlerockets) YEAH, get that rap talk outta my indie rock blurbs!!! This was actually one of my favorite write-ups out of the 20 songs, and it certainly makes sense and is in no way “bad writing” Wooo, lists! |
