Lil Nas X's first post-'Old Town Road' EP feels if not rushed, then fascinatingly flubbed, writes CraigSJ
He should’ve taken some pointers from Cardi B’s patience after “Bodak Yellow” hit No. 1. Photo: imageSPACE/Shutterstock As “Old Town Road” closes out its third month on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, it enters the company of the most successful hit singles of the last 20 years. In its 11th consecutive week at No. 1, it has already enjoyed a longer stay there than event records like Rihanna’s “We Found Love,” Pharrell’s “Happy,” and Adele’s “Hello.
Lil Nas X’s major-label debut, 7, also faces the unenviable task of creating a marketable sound for a new artist in short order. 7 is a 19-minute EP housing about 10 minutes of good ideas, four of which are “Old Town Road,” a two-minute smash whose simplicity looks all the more impressive after six more tries. The project feels if not rushed, then fascinatingly flubbed; like a pound cake that sunk, it loses a little form and taste the further in you manage to make it.
