ZARA LARSSON - CAN’T TAME HER REVIEW

Image
Existen dos tendencias en la música pop actualmente. Una es hacer una canción pop-punk , incluso si no se corresponde con la identidad artística del artista ( SZA, Bebe Rexha …) . La segunda es la canción de synth-pop ochentera . Desde que The Weeknd lo trajera de vuelta a finales de 2019 con Blinding Lights , muchos cantantes se han sumado a esta tendencia.

Night Call is made up of danceable, light songs to dance to
