|
|
He still croons "I Wan'na Be Like You," despite the deep racial unease that the song (and the whole scene) provoked; did executives really decide that its worth as a heritage item, within the Disney brand, exceeded all other demands?
|
|

|
|
On his own, Carter has long toyed with a style miles away from Mister Saturday Night's sets, playing the acoustic guitar, writing songs, and developing an avant-garde, confessional style of singing, something like the yearning croons of Arthur Russell's more serene moments.
|
|
"I saw my face in the mirror /Though I know I've changed/Though I look/Much the same," it croons, which is the perfect way to describe a beloved story returning to a moment that's been frozen in time for six years.

While the idea of a dragon taking flight as The Weeknd croons about winter is certainly enticing, there's now the question of how the show will actually use this new single, considering hip-hop and R&B aren't exactly charting (or even, like, in existence) in Westeros.
|
|

|
|
There's also the bouncy yet pointed-feeling "Fuh You," which seems to defy the passage of time as McCartney croons through what he's called a "schoolboy prank": Though he insists the title translates to "for you," it's impossible not to hear it as something a little ruder.
|
|
While Hill channels his gothic side with Tom G. Warrior inflected singing in "Walk With Me in Nightmares" and "Saturnalian," it's the cutting back and forth between harsh rasps and haunting croons in "Old Wounds" that benefits most greatly from the clarity and sharpness of the album's production.
|
|
Ocean is almost there, with references to VR in the Boys Don't Cry zine, though he still seems attached to material reality with his glossy publication, visual performative album, and sonic waves of experimental surf rock, hip-hop, and Americana, over which he croons about living offline and in nature.
|
|
Quick snare drums and chintzy keyboard figures in the established rattling-trap style inspire purely sung moments like "Riri," whose barked seal noises prove quite the earworm, and "Pop Man," in which he croons "Wet wet!" persistently and percussively into an echo chamber of moans and purrs and gasps and chirps.
|
|
As part of a new EP titled "Spirit," Rhye — the songwriter Michael Milosh — croons "I want to be needed/that's what I need" in a track that's as intricate as it is subdued; a full band and string arrangement infuse themselves behind the echoey piano chords that begin the song.
|

|
|
For the uninvested, Turner's, uh, intergalactic lounge singer persona ("Take it easy for a little while / Come and stay with us / It's such an easy flight," he croons on single "Four Out of Five") probably invites a raised eyebrow, though for the millions who've stuck by him and his band over the years, it makes stupid, marvelous sense.
|
|
"Threat of Joy" is a glimpse back at their debut, and one that could easily fit on Is This It.

|
|
On "License to Kill" (1984), for example, he basically sets the stage for climate change, and the impact of war and green on the earth, even if the term had not been invented yet: And then, on "Talkin' World War III Blues" (1963), the famous dystopian track, he croons about the fear driven by not understanding the people around you.
|

Rock Paper Shotgun's Graham Smith elegantly croons for a world in which No Man's Sky never releases, so that it might keep all this potential energy and never become a real, fallible, human effort that—no matter how hard the work or how ambitious the vision—can never live up to the "shared dream" it has become in these days before release.

Her office a shower of sorts, too, spa where Tony goes to come clean, where every once in a while butt-naked Tony lets go, belts out his privacies, his innermost, imprisoned stories verse by verse, singing away, no holds barred, to seduce his shrink with beaucoup boo-hoos and hangovers from bad old days when he was coming up the hard way on mauling, murderous streets, and worse at home, Tony Soprano croons, chirps, coos to her.

"I see you tugging on your shirt/ Trying to hide inside of it and hide how much it hurts/ Let 'em laugh while they can/ Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind/ I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends/ And the joke's on them" Carlile croons, her voice like a compassionate a hand on a shoulder from someone who knows that the journey to loving yourself and finding your place sometimes takes an achingly long time.

Frankly, it's the type of joke that defies an origin story, a meme that blows up because of a long-con social media pyramid scheme: one person, years ago, makes a joke that resonates with a handful of buddies, and then those people make a variation of the same joke, and then a few more decide to take it further and make "Smooth" remixes, that leads to a video involving Katie Ledecky's world record and the croons of Rob Thomas, and now everyone wants to be part of the club.
