Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Restless Modern is a 25-year-old producer, singer, and songwriter currently based in Wisconsin. Born in Denver, but raised as a Midwesterner outside of Chicago, he studied economics at Harvard before realizing that his internal calling to become an artist was perennial and impossible to tune out. The intelligence of the writing shines here, but that is not to say that the production nd vocal talent isn't as equally engaging. part of the genius here is talking a song about the modern algorithms and marketing and placing it over a old school 50's sound and arrangement. The juxtaposition brings out the irony of the situation as well as the talent brings out the artistry. I did find myself wishing the song was longer and offered even more takes on this modern world we live in.
