85. Girlyboi - “Good Looks”

This love song or ode is drenched in cool, soaked in it, so much so that it effuses a disaffected air while somehow simultaneously sounding earnest and sincere. It’s like looking at the painstakingly hip photos of an Instagram famous couple. It’s so beautiful that you can’t help but be drawn into it, and yet at the same time you can’t help but ask yourself whether any of it is true. It seems too good to be true, and so you’re left somewhere in between reality and fiction, caught within that blurry border of scripted beauty and genuine sincerity.
