My next musical moment from a 2022 film comes from Matilda the Musical, Netflix’s adaptation of the hit Broadway show.
I’ve never seen the stage show and I’m only passingly familiar with the beloved Danny DeVito-directed original film (let alone the Roald Dahl book), so this was my first real exposure to this story. I ended up liking it quite a bit.
I’ve come to dread these Billboard countdown weeks because they tend to erode my faith in the musical taste of the masses.
But this week so far has been an exception. Rihanna’s new single isn’t one of her best, but it’s far from offensive. The two Justin Bieber tracks are surprisingly effective, and twenty one pilots’ ‘Stressed Out’ works well as a modern blend of hip hop and pop.
