We might still be very, very early in the decade, but 2020 is one of those years that definitely doesn't shy away from delivering in the awfulness department. And we're still only halfway through it! So let's berudge some attention to the crap.
Tones and I might be one of the most pointless artists to be hyped up in the last few years. This song might be a good representation of everything wrong with her. The forced patois is awful. Her diction is beyond annoying, especially when she growls out end syllables. Lyrics are that really infuriating mix of poorly written and trying to be meaningful yet utterly failing at it.
And let's not talk about the almost non-existent production that accentuates Tones and I's badness even more. I hope she vanishes as an artist as soon as possible.
Came out in 2019 I think, but it's only now getting traction so I think it still counts. Anyway, what an absolute mess of a song. Between the horrendous bro-country singer, the indie girl who has no presence whatsoever, the hyper generic trap-EDM production and the extremely douchey lyrics, this is one of the most disastrous blend of things that don't belong together in the first place.
Hey, Drake, if you want to start a dance craze, can you at least put up something that's actually danceable rather than sleepy and lethargic?
Very much made for the current crop of teenagers. But unlike something like "Death Bed" which succeeds in its soft-yet-bittersweet tone without using much bells and whistles, this is just painful. An oversung piece of dreck drenched in vocal processing to accentuate the unpleasantness that is this singer's voice.
This was apparently released 2 years ago, why is it NOW invading the charts???
2020 charts are nowhere near short in supply of middle-of-the-road trap songs. But this one particularly stands out as having practically no presence nor point. Just another drugged up trapper rambling about whatever he's talking about. It's not a banger, it's not emotionally charged like some other emo rap songs do and it's not even good chill stuff to put in the background with that loud bass. Might as well have been 2 minutes of white noise and it would have amounted to the same. What's the appeal of this kind of stuff to be streamed to oblivion like this? At least something like "Blueberry Faygo" which is a similarly hedonistic trap song with airy synths is a decently catchy tune. This is just a nothing song from a random rapper with zero charisma or personality.
Pretty consequent misfire for the band this time around. I think the lead singer's voice is really grating when used in this sort of midtempo rhythm. It's particularly bad when he strains his voice and the tepid beat doesn't even follow and just keeps throbbing in the background. The vocal doubling on the chorus is also particularly hideous and rough on the ears. But the most infuriating thing is probably this needless edgebait take on a simple coming-of-age tale, similarly to "7 Years" (although this isn't nearly as cancerously bad as the aforementioned song).
Besides "Bad Liar", everything this girl has released in the last 5 years or so has been nothing but below average filler. This song would have been another non-entity in her already pointless discography if it wasn't for that ugly soreness of a chorus that I absolutely HATE.
You'd think that a collab between the two of the strongest vocalists in current pop would amount to something at least decent. But nope, it's just the most tedious thing released in a while. With computer-generated lyrics to complement. And the middling production that fails to elevate the main sentiment of the chorus doesn't help either. This was a rather terrible year for Demi Lovato in general, but this especially takes the cake.
This is just plain embarrassing. Straightup rivals "Baby" in its cringiness and repetitive lyrics, but at least "Baby" was defendable because of how young he was back then. What's the defense of this? It's as if he released this in commemoration of the 10 year anniversary of his most infamous viral single.
Speaks for itself. I can't even finish this song before being overwhelmed by nausea. Musically it is as enjoyable as an ear infection.

She would have to be the worst Australian artist to have ever become popular, there's literally no redeeming qualities at all about her music or her as an artist.
