In her latest single, released February 7th, British pop-country artist Twinnie combines the thrilling rush of developing a crush, but also being crushed by it. Twinnie states that “Worst Kind of Crush” is about “missing the potential of what could have been—when someone does a 180 on you and their feelings completely switch.” Her lyrics absolutely nail this feeling of apprehension, but the soundscape is full of synth pop sounds and upbeat vocals. This combination doesn’t feel like it should work as well as it does, but Twinnie blends them seamlessly and takes listeners on a journey of dealing with heartbreak, self-awareness, and the fact that, even though she knows they will not work, she still wants him.
This track opens right off the bat with a repeated “the worst kind of crush” overlaying electric synths and a steady beat. The first verse describes how their love was like a speeding car that suddenly hit the brakes, and yet Twinnie still wants to get right back in. The chorus hits just as fast as the brakes, with Twinnie’s voice building up into “The worst kinda crush” yet again in the same breathy but strong vocal tonality as the first line. She goes on to sing about what the crush feels like, that it “Is us making out at midnight on New Year's Eve / The worst kinda rush / Is us giving it up and you disappearing on me”.
