I like the album but Jolene is literally just a ripoff of that Plain White Tees song lol
Still time to delete
Still time to delete
Why delete? Cuz I aint know it was a Dolly Parton song lol?
@RVI actually thinking back I really believe that it has little to do with the genre that inspired it, aside from some very obvious tropes. it doesn't really approach the genre as much as it borrows from it to create an 'own' aesthetic
and if we really think about that, isnt that what post malone been doing with rap music though?
i think a there's a lot of western/Texas inspiration outside of country genre in here beyond just the visual aesthetic too
But guess what? Now that you mention it - Hey There Delilah is a whole tone away from Jolene (Dmaj, Emin respectively) which, along with being a semitone away, I always say is a dead giveaway of a song being inspired by another (when similarities are suspicious)
We cracked another one folks! @superstar @MORPHE @Childhood

"You know that hussy with the good hair you sing about?
Reminded me of someone I knew back when
Except she has flamin' locks of auburn hair;
Bless her heart.
Just a hair of a different color, but it hurts just the same."

It's a Rolling Stones top 500 ass song man c'mon
Several songs are missing from the physicals, including Ya Ya (which mentions Cowboy Carter) which supports my theory that there were some last minute changes, including title, cover and tracklisting!
Songs missing - Spaghettii, Flamenco, The Linda Martell Show, Ya Ya and Oh Louisiana. Seemingly no bonus track on the CDs that have arrived either.
omg

Tuned out for most of this. Only part I heard was the hair color part

Is this real
This album is at its most enjoyable to me when it leans into the weirdness of mashing up a lot of incongruities at once. Riiverdance, for example. The album picks up from Flamenco onward because of the juxtaposition
Ya Ya sounds like a Kia sales event commercial is playing in one window and Tandem Jump by Jonathan Richman in another and then it folds into a pitched up sample that gets its own track, Madlib Medicine Show style? Thats hard
Desert Eagle sounds like its gonna turn into Tell Me Something Good, thats hard. Sweet Honey Buckin is hard. Even the stuff that doesn’t work from that back half (Tyrant 😬) is at least interesting
Well the part about their respective keys is 100% real the “dead giveaway” is just me studying this songwriting and industry writing s*** for a decade now
