Does it ever seem like Pandora’s sourcing is a little… off? You’ll hear a golden oldie, only to look and see it’s been pulled from some random soundtrack to a forgotten, shitty movie. “That’s weird,” you’ll think, before diving back into your workday.

Ms. Wendell added, “I will say this, I find the performance of this piece sloppy and melodramatic. Perhaps that is fitting.” Perhaps!
