Not my genre but I can respect some pop. This though does almost nothing for me, and worse “Boys Will Be Boys” laid down some “us vs. them” feminism, shaming anyone who dares not absolutely endorse the song, seemingly rejecting the reality that the sexes experience sexual attraction differently, while ignoring the explicit sexualization happening in the rest of the album.
I’m just not into that kind of cognitive dissonance, yet I could have let it slide if there were something else going on creatively, some cool instrumentation or something, but this all feels carefully crafted in an almost corporate way. This is a weakness of the genre, I suppose, where bland musical product emerges like Easy Cheese from the producer’s computer.
3/10
