If you flip a Ne-Yo classic into an Autotune-splattered 2-step track, I’m probably going to like it. And you know what? I like “XO SiCK,” a collaboration between the Shanghai artists Shushu and CHARITY SsB. Though the track combines elements of UK garage and the always-morphing sonics of ultra-online music, it really hinges on an interpolation of “So Sick,” a song that soundtracked the heartbreak of many millennials. And it lives on here. Is “So Sick” a new folk standard, nestled deep in the collective consciousness? Why can’t I turn off the radio?
