Track Attack: Not Another One Direction Boy (Niall Horan, Shaboozey, Madonna)

Episode 31: Brain Freeze

The boys are back! Brandito, Bob, and Mel return this week to go track by track through two very different new releases: Look For Your Mind! by The Lemon Twigs and ICEMAN by Drake. From lush, winding songwriting to icy introspection and rap beefs that can't quit, the crew is unpacking the production, lyrics, standout moments, and the occasional crash-out that came with these albums. While the boys may have seen eye to eye in a few places… Mel’s perspective definitely shifted the temperature in the room more than once. One album had the crew searching inward, the other may have frozen them in time — press play, listen along, and let us know where you landed. 🎧 In this episode: 00:00 Introduction 02:10 Look For Your Mind! - The Lemon Twigs 01:01: 47 - ICEMAN - Drake
