Pitbull feat. GRL: Wild Wild Love
But guys, the hook on this is massive. How much do I love it? Let me count the ways.
1.) It's folk flavored, but it's got a hint of hymnal singalong.
2.) It's a modern pop tune, but it's immediately nostalgic.
3.) It's got the vacuum tight production of modernity, but with a few conscious loose ends around the edges.
4.) It's got a traditionally beautiful, and brilliantly innocent, melody. You can sing it with an out of tune mandolin or a 40 piece orchestra and it would still fit perfectly alongside either.
And I love that. When melody is king, pop is done right.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. And thank you GRL.
