It´s kind of funny to think of all of Fano´s references to be all about the music...and then produce this? Is this grammy material? I don´t think so. Still, could be well received among those fans of LMFAO for instance, or whatever current music it´s on top 40 now.
I had the same reaction about Stefano creating a very formulaic piece. It surprised at first, but now I can see that the song
is Stefano. He has made remarks on various occasions about things like making contacts, going to the right events, and "using" AI as a platform to advance his career. These are things that an aspiring singer needs to do to make it in the business, but I've been struck by the degree of focus on this kind of stuff in his public comments rather than the artistic side of his profession. Long ago his style rubbed me the wrong way. It made me suspicious of his motives with Haley -- the ubiquity of photos with him by her side during the tour, for example. I've concluded that the music is formulaic because Stefano is formulaic. He has been consistent. And the lyrics are perfect -- straight up Fano.
This is the music you get if you hand the song writing and recording process over to modern producers. Stefano wants to be a star. If a song like "You're a Jerk" can get 58 million views I suppose anything's possible. I have no ear for this crap.
