Trouble with Psychos

[John Run]

This song came out in March, but I just heard it for the first time two days ago.
I immediately heard Trouble in the intro and verses. Upon subsequent listens, I heard some Dreams like guitar swells and bends, some similar constructions in some of its rhythm parts, and maybe even some vocal references too.

Tell me what you all think.

I can definitely hear …Dreams.. There is a lot of Fleetwood Mac feeling to it.
I quite like the song, but it does sound like a mash up .

Psychos is really gaining traction now and will likely (hopefully) become one of the big hits of the summer of 2023.

Agree, a lot of Fleetwood Mac feel to the music. And she even says “cycles” in the early lyrics. She’d be right at home on stage with Lindsey talking about how the song “reinforces her belief in cycles.” :)

I played it and then it replayed before I could stop it. The repetition didn’t even bore me, but I can’t picture myself growing too attached to it. It’s just pastiche, isn’t it, like that French and Saunders imitation years ago?
