Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley, Chapter 1: Snake Oil

A side project Diplo is gonna do probably a couple chapters on, and my god I am baffled by how safe, unfinished, and bland the first chapter is.  Even though it's been years since he made Florida, his greatest album for me nowadays, and has produced some good songs that made him mainstream, this man still shows that he has loads of taste in styles and still in the know of obscure artists on his Siriusxm station so I don't get why this project and last year's LSD is just music that feels so basic and throwaway that it doesn't feel like Diplo made it.

It's pretty much country pop with guest features and 2 minute songs to probably gain streaming revenue. Tolerable, but bad. Discuss if you've heard this like I have today. One of my worst albums of 2020 so far.
