Rather than a loose collection of decent tracks, “Montero” is a cohesive album that thoroughly showcases Lil Nas X’s potential to become this decade’s king of pop. On “Montero,” Lil Nas X demonstrates that he has grown greatly as an artist since the release of the “7 EP” in 2019. It’s that exact type of cognitive dissonance that forces people to re-evaluate their regressive beliefs. Then, after patiently biding his time during the pandemic, Lil Nas X came back stronger than ever with the culture-shifting “Montero” and the anthemic “Industry Baby.” I find it incredibly dope that Lil Nas X is making music so catchy, genre-bending and fun to listen to that even people within the country music industry, which largely lends itself to a conservative audience, cannot help but admit that his music slaps. However, the commercial success of “Panini” and “Rodeo,” along with Lil Nas X’s masterful marketing skills and social media presence showed that there was still plenty in store for Montero, Lil Nas X’s real name. Following the historic success of “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X dropped a pretty mediocre EP, the “7 EP,” which largely rode off of the success of his genre-defying mega-hit.
