Shawn Mendes, 2018
Written by Shawn Mendes, Teddy Geiger, Scott Harris, & Geoff Warburton
I almost never listen to modern pop. I know nothing whatsoever about this guy. Was he in a boy band? Or is he a lab-grown pop star, springing from the head of some Svengali like a songbird Athena? No matter, I kind of like this song. Syncopated, overly produced, slick, but still catchy as hell. It's about someone who thinks they're better than everyone else. Possibly about Britney Spears? (There's a line that goes, "No, you're not that innocent.") Mendes' breathy vocal is just the kind that the girl youths of today squeal over. I'm too old to squeal, but this is a pretty good modern pop song.
