Had to turn it off after a couple of tracks.
It's not just not good, it's actually kinda annoying.
Basic-ass lame flows over okay-ish but still mediocre beats.
Am I missing something?

But you're not missing anything.

It’s not genre stretching or pioneering but it’s exceptionally effective at being what it sets out to be. Very focused and soulful.

When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? by Billie Eilish

Extremely popular and very good.

Nice. Wasn't expecting to see People Like Us pop up. Keep up the jams!

Cuz I Love You by Lizzo

Honestly, I sincerely doubt this would be on the list if it weren’t for the album cover. Maybe she’s in the tradition of the great American divas but I’m not even sure what that would mean for 2019. But image matters.
