SIMON AND SAM TALK HARRY
by Simon Glickman and Samantha Hissong (HITS Daily Double)
Simon Glickman: After early listens, We both love the Harry Styles record, and I thought it would be interesting to frame this as a conversation between the two of us since we’re from different generations.
Samantha Hissong: I’m obsessed.
SG: It seems to me that this should be part of the conversation about contenders for an Album of the Year Grammy nomination. In addition to the high quality of the writing and playing on the individual songs, it really feels cohesive as an album.
SH: And a modern take on an old-school rock album. I honestly love it from start to finish. Maybe my millennial peers will cast me overboard for this belief, but I miss album listening. I truly believe that an album should be listened to from start to finish with the songs acting like chapters in a book, as they do on Harry Styles. That’s how it used to be. The singles-driven mentality belongs to the attention-deficit goldfish, in my opinion, and it’s the mark of a listener who doesn’t appreciate art. Diving into a new album was once generally viewed as an event. There was a ritualistic nature to it, but hey, that’s why I still collect vinyl. Speaking of which, this thing would sound overwhelmingly lovely on vinyl.
SG: You’re an old soul.
