5) YOU
A memorable and clever song, well known but not always credited enough. An echoey but uplifting tune, with a catchy guitar riff and a complementing drum sequence all held together by soothing vocals. Finishing on a dramatic and intense yet moderately subtle note, You is an overall relaxing song, perfect to listen to when you need to relax but need an inspiriting song.
4) GIRLS
Another one of their signature upbeat pieces, Girls, a song that really shows that the band was influenced by Prince because of its exceptional guitar riff, is an exciting and empowering song. With Matt Healy’s voice exceptionally different in this song, Girls sounds very original and unique. Mixed with a powerful underlying drum beat, Girls makes a brilliant and refreshing tune.
3) CHOCOLATE
Chocolate is a one of a kind and a spectacular song, much like the band themselves.The song, although very entertaining is actually about the dark and troubled youth of today. song became a radio favourite and an understandably addictive song with its unshakeably catchy guitar hooks and a clap along beat that’ll have you clapping and dancing the whole way through. Combined with Healy’s incredibly clear tone, Chocolate will have you hitting repeat all day.
2) ROBBERS
Robbers is an emotional ensemble, beginning with a particularly beautiful introduction. This song is much calmer but consists of a heavy harmony which complements Matt’s emotional vocals, reinforcing the deep and dark lyrics.
1)SEX
