Thanks for writing this piece. Like you, I believe Invincible’s worthy of a fair-minded reassessment. I have a couple points of constructive criticism for you. I trust you’ll know I’m coming from a pure place:

  1. Your article seemed too short for the story you wanted to tell.

Your initial quote is brilliant. “Good music transcends genres, survives the period in which it was created and is here to remind us of the artistic genius it created.” I would suggest expanding on those three ideas in their respective paragraphs.

2. Show don’t tell.

Over the years, I’ve learned to be more cinematic in my song descriptions. In my “Another Part of Me” piece, I could’ve easily said it’s a funky pop song from Bad. Instead, I said, “The first sounds you hear are the roaring THX Deep Note and sparkling chimes, making you feel like you’re floating in a galaxy far, far away. Without warning, those stars stretch into white-hot streaks as the song zips into lightspeed. You’re on a glistening vortex of synth-funk, jazz brass, and neon colors. It moves, it flows, it bops, it explodes!”

I hope this helps! 😃
