She’s a world class sinner, she’s a freak… she’s a viable recording artist?
Hey angel! Have you heard? Jocelyn is a freak, she wants it bad! And she doesn’t even need to know your name. Who is Jocelyn, you ask? A sad girl cooked up by the Spotify algorithm? A nepo baby who’s hooked up with an in-demand producer? No, she’s the fictional pop star and face of, HBO’s troubled but actually-alright television show from Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye and Sam “Euphoria” Levinson.
That song, a perfect three minutes and 19 seconds, was co-written by Tesfaye and Electric Guest’s Asa Taccone. The full track was released on Friday, along with the spiky, atmospheric theme song “The Lure” . Depp whisper-sings coherent, albeit uninspiring, lyrics about sex and light kink. “’Cause you’re dumb, but you’re cute, that’s a good enough ratio,” Jocelyn intones. “And I’m wild as a stallion, so come enjoy the rodeo.
No matter what the genre’s detractors say, it is not easy to craft a pop song, and Hollywood does not have a strong record in producing fictional pop artists or the accompanying music. Mariah Carey tried in 2001’s ill-fated. Lady Gaga did her best in 2018’sremake, but her character, Ally, is not remembered for her pop efforts but rousing rock ballads. Those are actual pop stars; the challenge for actors is even harder.
But perhaps that is the point. In the show the song is supposed to provide conflict. Jocelyn’s team think it’s an iron-clad hit , but she is conflicted by the sound. When she plays it to Tedros at the end of the first episode, she’s a little embarrassed. Their remix, which layers in what I can best describe as breathy, sex whispers, adds a certain but isn’t enough to make it more interesting.
