Also included is some oldie gems from The Eagles, Bruce Springsteen, Nirvana, and Chicago.

Goodbyes – Post Malone w/ Young Thug

Post Malone did it again with another love pop song. Goodbyes has the signature Post Malone sound with the catchy hook followed by the quick sad voice lyrical sound. If that doesn’t make sense just give the song a listen and you will hear it. The underlying meaning of the song centers around wanting someone to get out of your head, but you just can’t get them out because you care for them so much. I really like this song and can’t wait for his third studio album which will most likely include this song.

I haven’t know John Splithoff’s music for super long. He’s honestly not super popular, and I first heard his music in a set of headphones at Costco. I really liked him so I looked him up at home and did some heavy listening of his EP. I think he may have a couple of singles but he doesn’t have that much music. With that, I really got a feel of his sound and songwriting style, and I’m a big fan of his stuff. He’s got like a really cool pop/soul sound that’s different than mainstream music. This isn’t a ranking based on favorites and is in the order of the EP.

In the await of his third studio album James Bay released Oh My Messy Mind on May 10, 2019. James Bay, as a young artist has already been nominated for three different Grammys but unfortunately has not won one to this date. Bay’s first album Chaos and The Calm saw him battle the ups and downs of love with a rock pop style. Chaos and The Calm put Bay on the map for his signature style of music and his sad but relatable lyrics. His follow up album Electric Light gained a lot of negative reviews with the use of electronic technics to alter his vocals and add a more techno sound to his music. The new sound went heavily against what he focused on in Chaos and The Calm which gained him his fame. Personally, I enjoyed Electric Light as well as Chaos and The Calm and maybe even liked Electric Light a little more, but the hardcore fans of James Bay had a different idea. For this EP I decided not to rank them due to the shortness of the release, but instead I will just do what I normally do by analyzing each song.
