Lately, i got into this dreamy pop artist from Sweden: jj. The three songs i heard were incredibly engaging and addictive - the kind of stuff i'd expect to hear at high class beaches. One of them went with this ridiculous "my swag, my life" hook and ran through my head for a week or so. The music was pretty much written for me, and i fell in love with the lead singer guy's voice.
BUT THEN...
I was looking up jj on the internet to see if i could find some info on the band, and i was having a tough time. I finally found an article posted on pitchfork about the band, and my heart sunk. Apparently, the "lead singer guy" was actually a girl. For some strange reason, jj all of the sudden didn't click with me.
I guess i just have a natural prejudice against female singers. The only girl artist's voice i genuinely like is Portishead's singer, but i can name about fifty guys i go crazy for. When i thought jj was a feminine sounding guy, i loved it! Now, not so much. I don't know what i was thinking before - i guess i'm just sexist, because now i see that jj isn't even good. Because she's a girl.
