Now, I actually quite like Wouldn't Leave. The samples are really underwhelming and not that interesting as well. This beat is TOO simple, and the snare hits are reek of the basic bitch presets. While I can't say I've listened to the lyrics closely, it doesn't appear to be very coherent. I also quite like the simplicity of the beat. The thrown around 'fuck weed ass nigga' ' young nigga shit we don't age'.it just goes SO trashy, especially compared to his previous works like 808's, or even parts of MBDTF (even Runaway, which I'd consider a sort of 'tastefully trashy'.Īs for 'Yikes', I actually really quite like the sample every half beat (in the upper registers). When the beat changes during the last third of the song, it turns into some trashy, cheap rap beat. So as for 'I Thought About Killing You', the first half has some nice higher synths, but the lyrics are just kinda lame. I quite like Kanye's though, it's quite simple and reminds me of 'Paranoid' off of 808's and Heartbreak (except without autotune). I really hate the first vocalist as well, his performance is just pretty bad. Overall, the combination of that and the high fidelity sub bass at the end just doesn't work in my opinion.
It has distortion, but not the GOOD type of distortion, it's like 'using a shitty microphone' distortion. Listen the bass drum during the last vocalists performance, as well as the random synth noises. Retrieved November 19, 2021.Does anyone else feel the same way? I quite like his melodies and chord progression, don't get me wrong, but the guitars and and organs just sound so LOW FIDELITY. ^ "Hot/Modern/AC Radio Future Releases".^ "Benson Boone "Ghost Town" | (Radio Date: )".Recording Industry Association of America. ^ "American single certifications – Benson Boone – Ghost Town".^ "Norwegian single certifications – Benson Boone – Ghost Town" (in Norwegian).^ "Danish single certifications – Benson Boone – Ghost Town".^ "Canadian single certifications – Benson Boone – Ghost Town".^ "Pop Airplay: Week of March 5, 2022".^ "Adult Pop Airplay: Week of February 26, 2022".^ "Adult Contemporary: Week of March 5, 2022".^ "The Hot 100 Chart: Week of November 13, 2021".^ " Benson Boone – Ghost Town" (in Dutch).^ " Nederlandse Top 40 – week 8, 2022" (in Dutch).^ "Official Irish Singles Chart Top 50".^ "Billboard Global 200 Chart: Week of November 20, 2021".Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique. ^ "Billboard Canadian Hot 100 Chart: Week of November 6, 2021".^ " Benson Boone – Ghost Town" (in French).Australian Recording Industry Association. ^ "The ARIA Report: Week Commencing 22 November 2021"."Benson Boone Reveals Why He Quit 'American Idol' & Drops New Single". ^ a b c Heyn, Beth (October 15, 2021)."10 Cool Pop Songs to Get You Through the Week: Camilo & Evaluna Montaner, Benson Boone & More".
