Why is his song 'Human' so popular? It sounds like utter dogshit to me. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Ironically his song includes lyrics of being "only human after all", whereas his picture instead shows a fat piece of shit.

Because the vast majority of people are tasteless, vulgar, ill-informed, stupid, hopeless, ignorant, bland, insufferable dolts, highly-susceptible to the cuntish fads of like-"minded" scum.

How did you not know this?

I suspect he does; he just wants to demonstrate a bit of elitism and snobbery.

I had not heard of the song before and only just listened to it. It seemed like decent pop music. A nice gospel sound and a message profoundly bland but sounds deep that people probably get the Barnum effect from.

Without knowing any other context I think your real problem isn't the song but people who think it is deeper than it is.

Welcome to britfa.gs m8

I'd be inclined to agree with you but this gets more playtime than it deserves and it's even won an award. The lyrics are what especially piss me off, just droning on and on repeating the same phrase. I listen to the radio daily and whilst there's a lot of contemporary music I don't like, I wouldn't say it's the same level as this song.

Repetition and simplicity are two major features of successful modern pop music. I'm not saying that means you have to suddenly like the song, but you shouldn't be so surprised it's a popular song.

The production on it is really good, it's about as gritty, sampled, and hip-hop as you can get away with making a chart hit sound, and as the lad was originally a rapper and cut his teeth in the High Focus stable, that shouldn't come as much of a shock. His unique (in mainstream music at least) voice probably caught some people's attention too.

The song gets on my tits now because, as you say, it's ridiculously overplayed. But I think I thought it was pretty catchy the first two or three times I heard it. Now after the 800th time, it can fuck right off.

Sage for not supporting your hatred entirely.

Reminds me of the Gnarls Barkley song. Fine in it's own right, nods to a genre beyond just "pop", subsequently played to death.

Isn't this thread about a year late?

But yeah he's bollocks, it's just one of those pop songs that comes out occasionally that's just fresh enough to properly blow every chart-listening cunt's head off. You know how normal wankers think a trip to Nandos is a bit of an adventurous treat? That's exactly what a fat tattooed bloke is to the pop market.

You can tell it's an intentional marketing construct by the fact his album had adverts on the telly. Telly adverts for an album. Just let your mind roll over that for a moment.

Very, very well put.
