Greyson Chance, Dancing Next to Me | Track Review 🎵

Greyson Chance drops a fierce pop bop about a special, but short-lived romantic experience on “Dancing Next to Me.”

Gifted and totally woke teen musician Isaac Dunbar delivers an alternative pop bop tackling internalized homophobia on “Makeup Drawer.”

Aussie pop collective 5 Seconds of Summer returns with “Old Me,” the fourth advance single from their fourth studio album, CALM.

Lauv (Ari Leff) releases an excellent 10th single, “Modern Loneliness,” in advance of his debut album, ~how I’m feeling~.

“Feel Me” doesn’t ‘move the needle’ for Selena Gomez in any way, but it’s a pleasant pop record dabbling in matters of the heart.

Rising pop artist Madison Beer follows up “Good in Goodbye” with “Selfish,” another single that explores matters of the heart.

Pop singer/songwriter Alec Benjamin releases a terrific fifth single, “Oh My God,” in advance of his debut LP, These Two Windows.

Grammy-winning pop singer/songwriter Sam Smith delivers another memorable gem with the relatable, thoughtful record, “To Die For.”

New Jersey pop musician Jeremy Zucker drops a short but incredibly sweet, relatable, and thoughtful pop single with “Always, I’ll Care.”

R&B artist Khalid collaborates with Disclosure once more for “Know Your Worth.” The results are respectable, not game changing.

Niall Horan delivers a respectable single with “No Judgement,” but he fails to be truly dynamic, exciting, or exhibit innovative spirit.

No, “Birthday” won’t change your life, but Anne-Marie is certainly liberated and relatable on the tongue-n-cheek pop single.
