I avoid modern pop music in general… But I’m sorry, I will always have a soft spot for “Baby one more time” by Britney.
I would add “I want it that way” but let’s be real, every dude secretly likes that song.
Toxic by Britney Spears. Absolute fucking banger. Musically interesting for an American pop song. Each chorus has the chords walk down, which is pretty cool, but then on the next bar something really interesting happens. Instead of walking down from the second of the four chords, there are back to back tritone substitutions! So fucking cool!
I have an entire playlist that’s just covers of Toxic. It’s too good of a song.
Try the versions by Solence and Calvin Arsenia.
If you want to hear a surf rock instrumental cover that is actually phenomenal check out The Surfrajettes. Also amazing name.
(I actually like White Houses more)
Call Me Maybe, such a banger
I’m the same way, but mine is “Toxic” also by Brittany.
“Kiss Me” by Sixpence None The Richer
love to know how people interpret a “girl” song. my mind is all over the place atm trying to classify songs and artists. like, is Taylor Swift the bakery of girl songs? does boss bitch / bad bitch energy count within the realm of girl songs? etc.
