What Happened To The Weekend - Joel Sammut (Indie Pop) On ode to post-pandemic emergence, Joel Sammut’s “What Happened To The Weekend” is as intoxicating as it is ethereal—creating a sense of uncertainty and wonder which perfectly matches the subject matter. Bowie-esque in style and performance—it’s equal part groove and avant-garde—the vocals employ that tightly delayed/doubled vocal reminiscent of that “Pumped Up Kicks” telling the tale of the strange and dizzying passage of time we all experienced over the last few years. There’s an 80s style to the track, particularly in the bongos/toms introduced in the second verse, and overall the track is incredibly engaging. This one simmers.

Best Lyric: “I’m still escaping death.”
