The Merits of Zayn Malik's Dorky New Single 'Sour Diesel,' Debated
EntertainmentJulianne Escobedo Shepherd: New Zayn. About weed (eyeroll emoji). Wow why does this sound like Bauhaus?
Rich Juzwiak: lol. What the fuck. I’m not against this because the chorus has that yacht rock funk to it.
Clover Hope: This is Miguel-y
Rich: Oh yeah it’s very Wildheart.
Julianne: That slap bass, lmao.
Rich: It’s very dad-gets-into-weed.
Claire Shaffer: Extremely Wildheart.
Julianne: Man, I do NOT like this song.
Claire: There’s a lot going on here.
Hazel Cills: Bauhaus??? CLICK.
Rich: I turned it off, JES.
Julianne: I liked the beginning when it sounded like he was gonna do a “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” cover.
Julianne: Oh my god this ‘80s guitar riff. HELP!!!!Claire: It’s…..not that much like Bauhaus after the intro.
Julianne: NO!!!!
Claire: It tries to be FUNKY and it’s not.
Julianne: Oh my god Rich click ahead to 2:49. This riff is insane.
Claire: Eugghhhhh.
Julianne: Oh my god. It’s SO EIGHTIES GUITAR RIFF
Ashley: Yo.
Julianne: I feel like I’m riding in an ‘87 Fiat and watching a Rodney Dangerfield movie.
Rich: Now I’m back on board. This is too stupid for me not to enjoy it.
Julianne: I think I love it too hahah. Just that part tho.
Hazel: Not good. It sounds like 1975.
Claire: Is this a thing that the Pop Men are doing now? The corny ’80s throwback? I’m just thinking of John Mayer.
Hazel: Zayn just has zero personality.
Clover: Ah to Be Old.
Julianne: You know who did it first and best? Ty Dolla $ign, and saxophones.
Rich: It’s very Bugle Boy Jeans commercial.
Julianne: omg YES BUGLE BOY.Ashley: This Zayn audio is fascinating me. His music is always more interesting than he is, which sometimes isn’t saying much. But this time it might be.
Clover: I need one of these kids to cover “Kokomo.”
