Soundalikes: Lil Nas X and Ariana Grande
b'We live in an age of musical nostalgia where artists wear influences on their sleaves. Case in point, two established artists who are drawing from established pop music history: Lil Nas X\'s "J. Christ" sounds like a Kendrick Lamar "Humble" type beat, and Ariana Grande\'s "Yes, And?" unabashedly interpolates Madonna\'s "Vogue."
