"Heartbeat Song" sounds freakishly like Jimmy Eat World
Quote:
Kelly Clarkson dropped the first single from her upcoming seventh studio album this morning. The song, titled "Heartbeat Song," gave me a bit of deja vu when I first listened. Something about the chorus sounded familiar.
It sounded like Jimmy Eat World.
Now, to be fair, most pop songs build off the many, many pop songs that have come before. But this is a little too close to seem like a coincidence, and because of the call-back effect, Clarkson's new song sounds 15 years old. That's likely not what the pop singer was trying for.
