I debated with myself a little over whether I should log this as BoyWithUke or as Chandol. I settled on BoyWithUke because that’s the name all his stuff up to this point is under, but I could see myself changing it later. Probably if I did that I’d just put it all as Charley Yang, but I dunno. Doesn’t really matter.
I listened to this because I really like the song “Migraine,” and after a week of listening that’s still my favorite song of the bunch. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I don’t think it’s a great sign. That happening does tend, to me, to be indicative of me not liking the artist themself all that much. Which isn’t to say I don’t like the artist, I just don’t love them. They’re fine. The first album was super meh, I felt, and the next three were just… fine. Decent. The fifth album, Burnout, had very different production and direction, and I think it worked well. I liked it. Surprisingly, at least to me, I think my favorite album might’ve been the B-Sides collection. It was full of songs that were pretty catchy and fun and easy to like, which is all I was really hoping for from this anyway.
The B feels pretty accurate to me. It’s possible I’m being harsh; I’m not feeling super great today and I know that can end up reflected in how I feel about an artist, especially when it lines up to the day I actually write about an artist. Even so, I think the B is reasonable, it feels about right.
BoyWithUke complete, now listening to: Dev Lemons
