Track Review: Girls - Love Like a River

Girls' frontman Christopher Owens is a odd character and I will not try to understand him.  But he has done a few things that I find interesting.

Owens finds "strength" in Miley Cyrus.

He tweeted Justin Bieber saying he should sing for their band.  Owen would still write the songs.

And then in an interview with Pitchfork he said he could hear Beyonce singing Love Like a River, and if she did it would be a number one hit.


Usually I do not seek background information for songs but it helps me enjoy this song way more.

    I'm going to have to get this album and listen to it. I wasn't a huge fan of their first LP "Album" but I would give them another try after hearing this song.

    Owens isn't the first (nor the most accomplished) artist to suggest Beyonce sing one of his songs: Elvis Costello wrote "Spooky Girlfriend," which appears on 'When I Was Cruel' (2002), hoping that Destiny's Child would eventually cover it.
