Walk the Moon, "Surrender"
I was a little disappointed by Walk the Moon's latest album. Most of the songs seem to have been produced with the thought, "How can we get played on the radio? Sound as much like Maroon 5 as possible." (And sadly, they seem to be correct).
But I think "Surrender" is terrific. With its When in Rome-meets-U2 vibes, I've been thinking that it would have been the perfect song to soundtrack a late '80s teen romance. And sure enough, just a couple of days ago, I heard it on the trailer for an upcoming teen romance, "Love, Simon." It turns out it's the perfect soundtrack to scenes of a gay teenager flirting with the cute Waffle House waiter.
