“Lollipop” has been sampled by David Banner, covered by rock and country musicians, and now versioned by a mysterious Swedish pop outfit, with a radical lyrical shift, a stretch, an expansion – bottles are replaced with pills, and shawty is getting high on her own supply. The same aesthetics, but more drugs and less sex. Either way, Wayne, Jonsin, and Static will be/would be proud.
“rockist habits” is an AWESOME cateogry/tag. oh yeah, and this tune is amazing
Sam, you can thank former NY Times writer Kelefah Sanneh and Pitchfork writer Ian Cohen, respectively. They’re responsible for the that term. I am using it very loosely here.
