Only Sixteen - Benedict Sinister (Pop) Oh boy we were not expecting the turn of the chorus of this one. With “Only Sixteen”, Benedict Sinister reminisces on a love from his teens, reconciling the heartbreak he experienced with the fact that he, and his lover, were so young at the time. However, there is still pain here as this track is pure barbed wire, psychoanalyzing the ex to understand her motivations, but not excuse her for them or the hurt she caused. What’s surprising about this track are the way the sing-songy, warbly keys lull you into a cozy space before Benedict Sinister hits you with the sneak attack. His Johnny Cash style vocals also give him a unique identity in the genre, and his delivery proves that this track is personal.
Best Lyric: “Didn’t know you could be such a bitch, thought you didn’t mean to.“
