Honestly, if you know anything about my music taste you&#8217;ll know why I like this song &#8211; it has a great funky, disco sound to it. What a Surprise has a great beat, bass sound, and the guitar in the song is wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing I like is that the song sounds mature &#8211; not in a particularly sexy way but in that it sounds more like a song sung by adults. One thing that continually frustrates me with idol music is how youth-focused it is. There are very few songs and groups that feel genuinely mature, at least in comparison to how many youth-centric songs there are. What a Surprise (and others I&#8217;ll feature no doubt!) feels more mature, which I find endearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yep, two Rev songs in a row.
