“As It Was”, the first single from the new Harry Styles album Harry’s House, has finally arrived. It’s a melancholic bop, a sad banger if you will…quite possibly Abby’s favorite kind of song. Upbeat melodies + angsty lyrics are simply the best. She’s got some immediate reactions and vaguely coherent notes on this piece of brilliance that feels at once extremely new *and* very familiar with its ‘80s synth-pop Depeche Mode and A-ha vibes. The video is stunning and the song keeps getting better with every listen. Come along for the emotional ride.
