Politician - Sheena-Rae (R&B) Sheena-Rae isn’t falling for your BS in her latest track, “Politician”, a super-fresh and incredibly catchy R&B/pop hybrid about a love that finds deception so easy and natural they might as well have a political career. The conceit of the track is clever and makes for great Top 40 material, with the overall feel of the record giving us a little bit of early Ariana Grande (“The Way”) with that Fifth Harmony UK pop feel. The mood is set immediately with the plucky synth strings, eventually accompanied by a knocking hiphop kick with some tuned percussion earcandy. The instrumental remains minimal, however, to let Sheena-Rae’s strong and sassy leads carry the song. It’s one you’ll definitely want to sing along to. Total bop.

Best Lyric: “You played with my heart, you thought you were being real damn smart.”
