So, seems like we're talking about Best New Artist nominees this week. I guess.
I actually didn't like this song until Sunday.
That's when I heard his Grammy performance as part of the Best New Artist medley. And, despite his earpiece issues (which are preventing me from finding a suitable video of the performance just yet but I still have a couple of days), he killed it.
So, I gave the song another chance.
And, you know what? I get the criticism of his vocals being bored and/or bland.... but also, I don't think they are. He CLEARLY enjoys performing this song. And, being a social media guy - one of the founders of the same Hype House that spawned Addison Rae - he's occupying an interesting spot in music right now.
By the way, this song has been a top 5 hit for almost a year. As of this writing, it still sits at #5 on the US charts. (Edit: as of publishing, still #7)
And the song is actually pretty sweet lyrically.
So, OK, I'm a fan now.
I know I didn't get his Grammy performance in here, but I *did* find a kind of similar one, from The Tonight Show.
It was a great performance, too.
