"Yeah" is awesome. A great fusion of alt rock and soul, especially in that last bridge
It's one of the few songs on MD that you can sing along to because the chorus is simple and not "wordy"

Minus the nightmare inducing video, Clap Your Hands is a great song with decent production by Greg Kurstin. Just cuz you may be unfamiliar with Sia's Discography doesn't mean someone who is across the Atlantic is just as ignorant as you. And again, I never said Sia was the best writer but she IS a better lyricist and Kelly IS the better performer as vonno has already pointed out. Except for a handful of songs that Kelly wrote throughout her career, everything else is just meh.
Sia is able to capture the essence of Pop in an abstract yet catchy way, something Kelly has yet to do all by herself. You may rip on "clap your hands" being repeated but that is Sia's mind already working at a higher capacity. We all know repeated lines and sound effects stay in a person's mind the longest, so why not capitalize on that and create an earworm? It's something Sia has mastered over the years and something Kelly started to do (BOY and SUBG being repeated over and over again aka the most memorable part to the GP) but failed to progress upon. Kelly's best lyrics are songs that aren't popular but just fan favorites. Unselling fan favorites don't feed the artist.
And yas von, praise Sia's 'Some People Have Real Problems.' Her second best album. |
+1
I always felt Kelly needs to up her game in more abstract and metaphorical writing and be less straight-forward. I think she lost it after MD, but at least the improved vocals more than make up for it now.
It's honestly one of my favorite songs by Kelly, I don't know why people are so against it.
