New Music of the Day, December 10:


Scott Helman, "PDA"
This one's currently sitting at #21 on the Canadian pop charts, and I hope that this means Scott Helman will eventually gain the international exposure that his young countryman Shawn Mendes has, especially since his music is far catchier as less drippy than Mendes'. "PDA" is a burst of mango-flavored, candy-coated pop, with a sing-along chorus punctuated by high-pitched yelps. But it's got a ramshackle charm of its own, including an odd little spoken word interlude at 2:20 that reminds me of Shawn Mullins' "Lullaby."
