     I love how she reminds us that imperfect rhymes bring energy and more variety to a song.

     I used to be in a songwriting group with a guy who wrote “show tune” style songs, and he was always getting on to me for not having perfect rhymes.

     He ALWAYS had perfect rhymes, and tbh I thought it made his songs stale and predictable. He insisted that was imperative to the genre. I guess he never studied more modern musicals like #Hamilton.
