Edwyn Collins: Girl Like You
Here’s a song that always divides a room. I can’t figure out why so many people hate this one. It's like having hatred for uhhhh Fleetwood Mac. I know my friend whose last name is Collins enjoys Edwyn more than most.
Count me a hater. I'm not sure how this got as popular as it did. Though there's that one little breathy synth in the middle of the verses that I've come to appreciate, I have decided to still hate this song. No good reason, it just bugs the ever living shit out of me and I'm glad you're at least aware of the controversy.
This takes me back to 90s teen romcoms. Life was so much better then.

ReplyDeleteDoes "Can't Hardly Wait" count?
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan - what's not to like? It's sexy and coy.
