1999 - Carson Ferris (Pop) Carson Ferris is back on the blog , this time with a track sure to appeal not only to the modern audience, but also old heads like us. In “1999” Carson wishes he were born to experience this author’s generation of music—the TRL era of boy bands, Britney and more. The instrumental certainly takes its cues from the era, with an instrumental that certainly feels like one of Britney’s early tracks. And just in case you weren’t getting the point, the lyrics are laden with references like “Baby One More Time”, “Oops” and “Bye Bye Bye”. But more than nostalgia bait, the song is fire, and certainly could’ve stood alongside its references on the Top 40 charts of the time. Listening to Carson, we recall how Justin Bieber launched onto the scene oh so many years ago, and we can’t help but wonder if Carson will be next.

Best Lyric: “Old souls find each other, we just can’t explain it.”
