With second studio album On to Better Things, Iann Dior's anguished view of pop expands, reaching into more stylistically diverse territory as he navigates perpetual heartbreak, disappointment, and the travails of fame. Always more of a melodic singer with tendencies towards rap production than a rapper himself, Dior continues to deliver flowing hooks over booming 808 bass hits and nervous trap hi-hats on tracks like "V12," leaving space for Lil Uzi Vert to drop an autotuned verse. Several tracks ("heavy," "heartbreak3r," "regret") follow a similar emo-rap style, but On to Better Things gets more interesting when Dior commits fully to exploring different approaches. For instance, "obvious" is a full-on rocker with distorted vocals and a zippy verse that quickly breaks down into a swaggering dance-punk groove, complete with live drums from Travis Barker. Barker returns along with Machine Gun Kelly for album standout "thought it was," an uptempo track exploring the dark side of fame. Near the end of the album, Dior gets into even more adventurous styles, with the '80s synth pop bounce of "let you" and something close to power balladry with the anguished falsetto crooning and swaying acoustic guitars of "fallin'."
