this is what ____ feels like (Vol. 1-4), Dave


This album is pretty easy on the ears. The first 30 seconds of just about every track intrigued me enough to listen to it in its entirety. Much of the time, the intrigue faded by the first chorus. JVKE keeps things interesting with the classical music intros, dubstep bridges, and snippets of a Christmas-y vibe, but doesn't do much to differentiate himself from the radio favorites of the 2020s. That's not necessarily a bad thing. It's a winning formula that's making people born after 2000 very, very rich. I used the Kid LAROI for the SSC prompt regarding an artist under the age of 21, and fuck, are there a lot of young millionaires.
