smholiv Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 mess i was going to send a Zayn song (a different one) Overall this looks like a fun round skimming the entries
Touch It Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 DEAN - D (Half Moon): I like it and anyone who hates it is racist against koreans J. Cole - Crooked Smile: classic Jay-Z - 99 Problems: I thought about sending it and then I listened to it and was like nevermind it sucks Kanye West - Gold Digger: out of the 2 kanye songs this is obviously the superior song and it's also a great bop Kanye West - Runaway: too long for a song that isn't even good KWAYE - Cool Kids: cute song Post Malone - Better Now: a bop but the inferior post song here Post Malone - Circles: winner ZAYN - TiO: loser
smholiv Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 DEAN - D (Half Moon) - Love this album and this song, the perfect blend of R&B with great vocals
clue Posted May 26, 2020 Author Posted May 26, 2020 Spoiler D (Half Moon) It's cute. I like that it's different from the other songs. Crooked Smile I've never liked this at all. Power Trip >. It's not bad, but it's super corny. 99 Problems Classic. I love the heavy-handed production. Gold Digger One of my favorite songs of ALL TIME. That production is killer . Runaway Where do I begin? The way that NONE of those 9 minutes are wasted. The way that the vocoder becomes an instrument at some parts. Whew lord. Cool Kids Very smooth and vibey. Not really my favorite sound, but it's a well put together song. Better Now Very very tired of this song, but it's still a great song on paper. Circles This grew on me a lot. Kevin did THA TiO One of the songs on Mind of Mine that wasn't horrible. I ain't mad. Spoiler @minho @mokitsu @Not Like The Movies @touya kinomoto @Element @Fruity @Psycho @thecptz @Touch It
smholiv Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 J. Cole - Crooked Smile - I honestly rarely listen to J.Cole at all, but this is a fun song regardless.
smholiv Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 D (Half Moon) See my last post - Love this song, great vocals Crooked Smile Not a huge fan but also not mad at it, unfamiliar with J.Cole but enjoyed listening 99 Problems It is a classic I guess, but I feel like I'd have preferred a different Jay Z song? Gold Digger Fun fact the first album I ever owned. Great song Runaway Great song, not my total favourite but its good. Cool Kids This was a new one for me and i'm glad a different artist was sent. It's very vibey but I'm not sure how I would place it just yet. Better Now This is only okay. I like Post but think there was better. Circles Now THIS is a classic. TiO Not familiar with this song actually, but I do enjoy it. I think he's a bit hit-or-miss but sometimes he gets it right.
Not Like The Movies Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 D (Half Moon) Yeah I really like this, really great to hear this type of K POP. Crooked Smile I like it 99 Problems Jay Z king but I would have preferred another song by him, I still like the song tho. Gold Digger Yup, a classic! Runaway good song, I would have preferred a different song from the same album tho. **cough cough** Power but I still like the song. Cool Kids This was very refreshing to listen to, will definitely save it to my music. Good song! Better Now I am not a fan of Post Malone AT all, not a fan of his voice. But this song is okay. Circles Just like the other song, it's okay. a bit better tho. TiO I like it but just like other songs, I would have preferred a different song from him.
Psycho Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 DEAN - D (Half Moon): Boring male version of Good In Bed by Dua Lipa J. Cole - Crooked Smile: Tanking women yup yup it sucks also Jay-Z - 99 Problems: Iggy's Problem > Kanye West - Gold Digger: Glee bop Kanye West - Runaway: He snapped KWAYE - Cool Kids: This sounds like a Dua first album song Post Malone - Better Now: Bop but it was overplayed to hell on the radio and it aged a bit bc of the trap beat and also Circles > Post Malone - Circles: Yup yup ZAYN - TiO: He's no The Weeknd but this is cute
Tom Vercetti Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 DEAN - D (Half Moon) Probably the poster child of K-R&B. I can vibe with this and he has a good voice. J. Cole - Crooked Smile Do I hear a female feature? This isn't what I wanted. Jay-Z - 99 Problems Hmm I didn't expect this tbhThe hook is kinda iconic yeah but that's all the song really has going for it. Kanye West - Gold Digger Used to love this back in my youth. Very quotable. Kanye West - Runaway Welp, here's the top spot for you. Congratulations. KWAYE - Cool Kids He sounds a little bit like Blood Orange. The song is not very memorable though and not good enough for me to place it high. Post Malone - Better Now It's amusing how this man has a lot of stans on this forum now. I guess that comes with a lot of success. As for this song, it's slightly grating and monotonous like most of his music. So therefore, not my thing. Post Malone - Circles Better than Better Now to say the least. I'm glad I wasn't overexposed to this as well. ZAYN - TiO I wanted to like Zayn's music back when he actually cared but his vocals always holds him back I think. His debut was lacklustre and didn't have much identity either. This song is w/e but it could've been worse. @minho @mokitsu @Not Like The Movies @touya kinomoto @Element @Fruity @Psycho @thecptz @Touch It
miguel Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 D (Half Moon) it's cute Crooked Smile it's cute 99 Problems this is so bad Golddigger it's cute Runaway it's cute but it doesn't warrant being 9 ****ing minutes long pls Cool Kids boring Better Now classic Circles classic [2] TiO finally a good ****ing song pls this round:
