There are the cheeky love songs like "Girls, Girls, Girls" where he's lyrically running through women (because #romance) or, of course, anything he creates with Beyoncé—nobody would mistake "03' Bonnie and Clyde" for a sappy ballad, but that doesn't mean it's not a hell of a love song.

While The Fate of the Furious never quite reaches the heights of the last few installments, it still goes by at a breezy pace, and on the way delivers everything we've come to expect and love from this franchise: spectacularly silly action, convoluted but surprisingly detailed continuity, a big sappy heart, and more bald beefcakes than you can shake a stick at.
|

At the end of the day, a lot of what we see on television is unattainable, whether it's the impossibly spacious and amazing NYC apartments of Carrie Bradshaw and the cast of Friends, or the sappy-but-we-still-kind-of-want-them family moments on shows like Full House, or the outright fantasy of Khaleesi surviving fire and "birthing" dragons on Game of Thrones.

Lacking any means of actual in vitro fertilization, I thought I'd do the next best thing to actually creating a human life, so I found myself purchasing a couple of "MAGIC GROWING SNOWMEN" that had been left to melt into the post-Christmas bargain bins, and subjecting one of them to a serious dose of sappy-trance to see if it'd grow more successfully than it's mute brother.

"Slow Love" fashions a replicated musical period piece complete with piano bedrock, restrained drums not so much driving as following the melody, and sappy strings swathing the whole thing in a cozy, syrupy blanket, then adds a historically anachronistic saxophone that, without turning the song into swing, after the first chorus continues to solo in the background for pretty much the rest of the song, swelling up with liquid joy at each subsequent chorus and sometimes commenting on Prince's vocal line.

On Coloring Book especially — more than on 2013's Acid Rap, his breakthrough mixtape, or 2015's Surf, so much a group effort that Chance took his name off the project and instead credited it to Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment — the result is comically upbeat and, if not sappy per se, endlessly heartwarming and motivational, piling on the cushy hooks, the greeting-card slogans, the evocations of domestic bliss and cozy community, until the sweetness becomes overwhelming and you either enter kiddie heaven or feel nauseous.

During the past couple days, as I constantly refreshed Twitter searching for "Scott Hutchison," one sentiment kept appearing over and over from fellow fans: "His music got me through a dark period of my life, I hope he's OK." That doesn't fully apply to me—maybe my dark period is still ongoing—but his music has intertwined with my life in a real way over the past decade: people I've bonded with over a chance shuffle play at a house party, songs that made it on to sappy playlists, the album I put on when I want to sit in the dark alone instead of seeking therapy, the joyous live shows I've attended with people I care about.
