Allan Kingdom surprised me with his last project, Lines. I didnโt have very high expectations but he came through with some incredible melodies and vibes that I still find myself coming back to to this day. I donโt know what it is, but his music just has that โhomemadeโ sort of quality to it that on Lines was more endearing than cheap feeling. However, on Peanut Butter Prince, the songs he put together feel far more generic and cookie cutter. Theyโre not particularly terrible songs, theyโre just uninspired ones. If I didnโt know better and I just heard these two projects together, I would assume that Peanut Butter Prince was the one that came earlier in his career; itโs that much of a step back. Not sure what exactly happened to the more experimental and trend-setting sounds of his past work, but this didnโt work at all for me.
Me and you equal all of the things that he knew
He could do but chose not to, so now he confused
Iโm so sure now, Iโm your cure now
Iโm your cure now, everybody shook โcause itโs yours nowโ โBreak It Offโ
