leave me where you found me

leave me where you found me

At the intersection of 2000s emo and pop-punk (a nasal performance inspired by blink-182’s Tom DeLonge, and massive hooks via Paramore’s Hayley Williams) and internet-born trap (Juice WRLD, Lil Peep) is Puerto Rico’s iann dior. At least, that was the narrative on his first two LPs, 2019’s Industry Plant and 2022’s on to better things, with their co-signs by Machine Gun Kelly and Travis Barker. On leave me where you found me, dior’s third studio album, the young MC continues his reign as a master of heartbreak anthems (“liar”), but he dives deeper into his hip-hop impulses (“10x3”). Don’t let that dissuade the fans of his Warped Tour-indebted sounds. Those pleasures endure, like in the plucky, depressed ballad “sweetest demon.”
