Omar is ice cold, Miley looks back & Conan Gray surrenders: Your weekly bop roundup
Anyway, have some tissues handy, and let’s take a gander at this week’s edition of “bop after bop”….Nostalgia currently rules the entertainment industry, and Miley is riding that wave with her new single “Used To Be Young”.
True to its name, the song is an emotional, tear-jerking look back on Miley’s decade-spanning career, with lyrics that cut deep for anyone who has gone through their 20s feeling as misunderstood as Cyrus has. “Turns out open bars / Lead to broken hearts / And going way too far/ I know I used to be crazy / I know I used to be fun / You say I used to be wild / I say I used to be young” This ballad speaks for itself, and the accompanying video that features a teary-eyed Miley wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt hammers it home.
Omar Apollo chips away at our hearts with his new ballad “Ice Slippin’,” a frigid reflection inspired by his experience of coming out to his family.
Co-produced alongside Teo Halm, the track delves into themes of facing cold judgment, coupled with Omar’s dreamy, longing vocals and a chilling piano rift throughout.
