![]() It’s a fun summer song that may grow on me if I hear it out and about, but it doesn't feel totally in line with the rest of the sound of UTOPIA. Dropping a single with two of the biggest artists on the planet (all artists whose music I enjoy) felt more like a cheap strategy to boost streaming numbers or force a number one record on Billboard more than anything else. Mike: While it sounds better when listening to it in the flow of the album, “K-POP” still isn’t doing it for me. But most annoyingly so perhaps on “GOD’S COUNTRY,” which is a tad too puzzled and pieced together for my liking. I’m going to keep trying.Įric: “GOD’S COUNTRY.” The energy is flat compared to the others, and that weird high-pitched loop in the back is going to ruin the replayability for me.Įcleen: The biggest skips are found in blips of predictability or drastic pace changes for me, which happen several times throughout the project. Jessica: “DELRESTO (ECHOES).” I'm so sorry, Beyoncé. Stefan: “TELEKINESIS.” I’ve been waiting for this one for a long long time. Jordan: No song particularly stuck out to me as being the “best.” They all feel like they’re on the same level. ![]() Thug's flow on top of “SKITZO's” production with Travis' patented ad-libs coming in and out is chef's kiss. “Meltdown,” but Travis and Young Thug on a track is always special and that’s no different this time around. ![]() Most people will immediately gravitate to “Thank God” rounds out my top three after the first few spins.īen: I think I have to go with “SKITZO” on this one. A close second for me is “TELEKINESIS.” It’s a perfect way to wind down to the conclusion of the album and showcases Future and SZA in peak form. Rob49 and 21 Savage deliver some of the best rapping on the project. And while it’s a great piece of the album, the song that has stuck with me is “Topia Twins.” As much as I love the experimental tracks on Utopia, this feels like one of those classic Travis Scott tracks to me that was great to hear after waiting five years since ASTROWORLD dropped. Mike: Everyone will be talking about Drake’s “MELTDOWN” verse and probably consider that the standout track after first listen because of it. Other than that, the melancholic romantic in me who appreciates James Blake’s sonic touch will likely gravitate to “TIL FURTHER NOTICE…” but hopefully, I won’t have to, ha. “FE!N” is also very fun and I’ll be playing it on many a drive, I’m sure. It’s not an easy listen and was jarring at first, but the chaos is almost what makes it ensnaring. I quite enjoyed the experimentation on “MODERN JAM” and I can see myself adding it to some of my energy-infusing intended playlists. ![]() Other than that, “I KNOW?” and “TELEKINESIS” jumped out on first listen.Įcleen: This is always tough after just a few listens, so I’m gonna be annoying and name a few. It’s what I want to hear at a festival, at the club, and in the car.Įric: “FE!N” if we’re judging this by how hard my neck snapped back when I first heard FIEND, FIEND, FIEND, FIEND. “SKITZO” is the song that caters to all the vibes. The final part of the track showcases a more intentional verse from Trav with a classic flow. The first two parts of the track serve up a twerkable anthem, complemented by a Young Thug feature. Jessica: “SKITZO” is basically a 3-in-1 song.
