In this Weekly Track Roundup (6/28/26), Anthony Fantano shares his thoughts and reviews on a variety of new music releases from the past week.
Worst Tracks of the Week
Fantano highlights several tracks he found disappointing, bland, or derivative:
- Yeat - Million Dollar Minion (2:01): Criticized for being a cringey Minions franchise tie-in.
- Stray Kids - RUN IT (2:25): Dismissed for its use of "terrible stomp-clap music."
- sombr - My Body Isn’t Ready (2:39): Described as a tacky, derivative, and uninteresting track.
- Loathe - Fangs (3:23): Labeled as feeling too much like a Sleep Token song.
- Katy Perry - Watch It Burn (3:51): Criticized as a "bad Kelly Clarkson mom rock song."
- Gracie Abrams - Look at My Life (4:23): Viewed as a watered-down Taylor Swift imitation.
- Corey Feldman - What Am I Here 4? (4:40): Noted as rocking but ultimately "goofy."
