Tommy Burr, “How You Let Me Down”

First of all: Take in the fact that as of this posting, this video has 774 views on YouTube. And it’s been up for a month. Mind, it’s not much to look at — the clip is a little DIY, so you can focus on the music — but the song is dazzlingly commercial, a big American-sounding midtempo pop track that sounds like the second coming of Erik Hassle, or what we all privately want Maroon 5 to sound like right now. (He’s Swedish, of course — there’s just something in the water.) Paging the music supervisors for every CW drama ever: Set your next montage to “How You Let Me Down.”
