There’s something refreshing about a song that doesn’t try to turn every passing thought into a grand statement. On “anyways,” Nashville musician and producer Richard Wynne, recording as poor rich, finds plenty of charm in simply moving forward. The single brings together indie pop and pop rock with a bright, easygoing spirit that suits its message.
What appeals to me most is the attitude behind it. Rather than dwelling on uncertainty, “anyways” makes room for the idea that life can be messy and still worth enjoying. That outlook gives the track a welcome sense of freedom. It feels less like advice being handed down and more like a friend reminding you not to overthink everything.
Wynne’s approach to poor rich is rooted in making music on his own terms, and that independence comes through in the song’s character. There’s no need for a dramatic message when the central thought is this relatable. For me, “anyways” succeeds because it keeps things light without feeling empty. It’s a cheerful, approachable release with a perspective that stays with you after the music ends.
