"I'm In Love With You"
by The 1975


Even though I used a song from The 1975 from a previous year ("It's Not Living If It's Not With You way back in 2019), I had somehow completely forgotten about this band until this song popped up in my Spotify recommendations again this year. In reading through that earlier entry, apparently I made the exact same mistakes as back then, assuming they were an older band (their sound is very 80s). I also made a comment about how great their album titles are and that streak continues... since that blog post in 2019, they did release Notes on a Conditional Form and this song is from their 2022 album called Being Funny in a Foreign Language.

The lead singer Matty Healy has apparently found himself in hot water recently for an appearance on The Adam Friedland Show podcast where he apparently made several disparaging comments about multiple racial/ethnic groups, and implying that Harry Styles is queerbaiting his fans. This probably shouldn't come as a surprise from someone who has inciting strong responses to his antics in the past... he's also known for kissing audience members during his concerts, once sucked on a fan's thumb, and often makes weird statements and commentary between the songs of a set. So there might very well come a day where he's just too weird or controversial to keep seriously following... but in the meantime I really enjoy his band's unique throwback sound. Every time they put out a new album there's at least one or two songs on it that make me feel like I'm reliving my childhood in the 80s and early 90s.
