A song that sounds like it came straight from a movie, “Anti-Hero” delivers a constant switch of tunes that leaves listeners in an emotional state. With a lyrically catchy chorus, the song gives us a look inside the mind of someone who sees themselves as not a villain, but an “Anti-Hero”.
“Snow on the Beach” – 10/10
