Tic Tac Toe - Through The Trees (Pop) The first few notes of the track gives us “My Love” by Justin Timberlake—with those synthesized strings heavily utilized by Timbaland in the mid 00s. In fact, the entire production harkens back to that R&B/pop hybrid era. With a relatively sparse instrumentation, it leaves all the room it needs for the true focus of the song—the lyrics. The cleverness of the lines made it very hard to choose a favorite lyric. Despite three vocalists sharing the track, the song feels very personal, which always leads to the best lines. The chorus is extremely catchy—a real earworm—and there’s a husk to each of the vocalists that is very pleasing to the ear, adding a smoothness to the harshness of the actual words. Been through a breakup recently or still working through one? This is the track for you.
Best Lyric: “Come on down to Texas, I could use some F*cking Os cuz my inbox full of Xs.”
