Sky Ferreira, “Everything Is Embarrassing”
With all apologies to the chest-bursting shout-along of Icona Pop’s “I Love It,” to the metaphysics of aloneness in Grimes’s “Oblivion,” to the terrible driving on Schoolboy Q’s “Hands on the Wheel,” and to that chewy second melody at the end of “Call Me Maybe,” it’s this effortlessly simple tune, from an L.A. pop chancer, that really sticks: It has feathery grace and weary melodies, magic and sparkle, and feels as warm as curling up next to the radiator on a cold day.
