Comment: The great thing about DOnnie’s song isn’t its politics or its video but how it shoulds as though the kitchen sink, McCartneyish, bits and pieces, track sounds, to me, uncommercial and, obviously, it isn’t. The truth is pop has morphed out of my comfort zone and, while I loved this one immediately (it owes so much to Kanye’s cut and paste song construction it makes Pedro as influential as 808s), sometimes it can take a week for me to catch on to a song I should click with immediately…
