Ben Folds is back with more catchy melodies and sarcastic views of life. A collection of electropop to symphonic music. Try 4 (FCC), 7, 9.


1. FCC. Upbeat electropop. Funny, annoyed comebacks. 2. FCC. Sentimental piano playing, gentle and rushed. Violin harmony. 3. FCC. Simple cymbal and bass backbeat, verging on blues. *4. FCC. Mellow and mournful. Crooning with light strumming and rushed drums. 5. FCC. Electropop and upbeat bass backbone. Infectious melody. 6. FCC. Slow piano, soft and sad. Languid vocals. *7. Uptempo steady piano in line with vocals. Crescending melody. 8. FCC. Slow piano, steady singing, short electric beats. Crooned harmony. *9. Frantic piano, electro, drums mix. Upbeat and mellow vocals. 10. FCC (possibly). Suspenseful electropop, edgy bass. 11. Piano lounge music. Mellow, languid crooning.
