Review
"The Click" by AJR landed in 2017, sprinkling a jazzy-pop atmosphere tinged with hints of hip-hop and electronic dance music. Imagine pulling a bit of jazz, a scoop of EDM, and a sprinkle of pop into a blender—voilà, you've got this album! Kicking this mix into higher gear, the album ropes in Rivers Cuomo for a dazzling touch. Originally teased with an EP called "What Everyone's Thinking," AJR gave us a taste of what was to come with catchy singles like "I'm Not Famous" and "Weak."
The album didn't just tiptoe onto the music scene; it marched onto the Billboard 200 chart and marked AJR's first top 100 appearance. Not just a fleeting success, "The Click" grabbed attention well after its release, especially when "Weak" became a TikTok sensation. Imagine, years later, it's still got everyone bobbing their heads! The album has tracks that continue to resonate, leading AJR to release "The Good Part" as a fresh single in 2021, breathing new life into the album. Isn't it magical when music finds a second wind? "The Click" certainly proves that AJR can fuse genres and create lasting, ear-catching tunes that keep fans grooving for years. - Iris
