Mo Troper is the cream of the crop in modern pop songwriting. I so much admire his ability to cut to the chase while not skimping on the lyrical content. I struggled to narrow down a song from him. "Big School," "Jas From Australia" were also dabbled with, but for some reason, I thought cranking up "Wicked" could also be fun. I never intended to tack on a solo or third chorus, but actually happened impulsively while recording my first take. I feel comfortable saying this version is much worse than his, but wanted to give it a stab!
