Finneas is legitimately the most kind-hearted and selfless musician out there! Also love how he’s so mature but also funny and talented at the same time, which I feel you don’t always see that in people these days.

Having never really looked up a Pitchfork album review, his advice made me look up some of my favorite albums and one of them got a 1.5 🤣
@bulelanibotman
April 18, 2026 at 4:17 pm
his take on AI is something you pictured finneas would say because its so interesting. what a great take
@redhaegar
April 18, 2026 at 4:20 pm
To the first question ( Why not a Duo) The bitter truth is : Solo artists sell better than a duo or a standard group ( singer, guitar, base, drum). The performance on the stage, interviews, appearances are tailored. Emotions are focused to one person. And its much easier to deal with just one person. No group conflicts, no money issues, no a member has issues. None of that. Compare last years top 10 artists in US charts – group vs solo. You will be amazed.

he’s so weird. supporting justin bieber who openly supports israel and then going on to call taylor swift spiritually israeli when she goes to Gaza fundraising events. i will never support this weird man
@tammyhicks1450
April 18, 2026 at 11:24 pm
Finneas saying Dolly Partons name was not on my bingo card this year but awesome! Also I am always fascinated with his completely immense talent.
@abcababcb
April 19, 2026 at 12:14 am
Finneas’s answer on AI seems kind of privileged. AI won’t affect him in any major way, but it actively harms many smaller producers who can’t fight back. If he’s working in a creative industry, he should at least take the time to do his research smh.
@lovelyanimeangel
April 19, 2026 at 1:06 am
He is the greenest flag ever! When i saw him in LA last year for his FCOL tour, he was amazing live. I cried when he sang family feud because he changed the lyrics slightly to reflect Billie’s age at the time
@Leahofficialls
April 19, 2026 at 4:05 am
Alright now this is unfair to Ferb
@Leahofficialls
April 19, 2026 at 4:05 am
Finneas should name his fandom Ferb

Yeahhhh this is the realest comment ive seen today
@Experimentaccount1
April 19, 2026 at 6:28 am
13:25 absolutely correct take lmao—and I could not care less what the pitchfork score is. Generally speaking, when a pitchfork reader readily admits of their mall goth sympathies, it’s a pretty reliable indicator that they’re chill lmao.

That dolly fact about frank ocean doesn’t surprise me because I think he approaches music in a way that reminds me of folk music writing.
