Lil Nas X- HOLIDAY

At this point you can’t really call Lil Nas X a one hit wonder. Panini and Rodeo have done fairly well on the charts and I have no doubt HOLIDAY will too.

I don’t know if it’s better than his previous singles, the beat and overall production here didn’t get nearly as much attention as on Panini for example but the hook on HOLIDAY is much stronger. It’s the catchiest he has sounded since Old Town Road. I like X’s vocal performance a lot, lyrics are fun too. He might not be breaking the mold  here exactly, bragging about your financial status is probably the most played out topic you can rap about but I think it works better in his case then when it comes to other rappers. Everyone was looking at him to prove that he has more than one good song in him and now that he’s kind of done that, he can take a moment to breath and be proud of what he has accomplished. All the bragging he does on HOLIDAY feels absolutely earned. Anyone who follows Lil Nas X on twitter knows how likeable he is. You can’t help but to root for him, when you hear him boasting about getting respect from other rappers it just makes you feel good.

I’m curious what a full-length Lil Nas X album would look like, his EP was a little bit of a mixed bag. He still has a lot of work to do when it comes to figuring his sound, the biggest link between all his singles are the insanely overproduced music videos, which I absolutely love. There might not a tone of interesting new ideas on HOLIDAY, it’s still a fun banger nonetheless.

RATING: 7.5/10
