Staryu Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 I don't really dislike any of these songs so it's much better than last round Dua Lipa - IDGAF - A fun bop HAIM - FUBT - Heavenly Kelela - LMK - Heavenly [2] Kendrick Lamar - DNA - BOP Nicki Minaj - LLC - BAWP Olivia O'Brien - UDK - Really cute Solange - FUBU - I like the vibe of the song I guess Tegan and Sara - BWU - Cute I guess Tove Lo - WTF Love Is - Cute bop
smholiv Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 dua lipa : idgaf yeah this is a good song. her debut was kind of mixed for me, but the songs i liked are some of my favourites of hers overall haim : fubt haim are strange to me in that i never have a desire to listen to them. i do think this is one of their better songs, maybe overall? definitely a key moment on the album kelela : lmk hey winner! you win a lot! kendrick lamar : dna this is good, its solid. i like it a good amount but i'll have to see because this is actually a strong batch nicki minaj : llc okay bop. this is a strong round however... olivia obrien : udk this is not bad at all, would be in the middle for me solange : fubu :riri: this is a great song tegan and sara : bwu they're not really my taste... this song doesn't do much for me tove lo : wtf love is the production is pretty cool, but overall this isn't a standout necessarily
ughgabriel Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Dua Lipa - IDGAF It’s not bad, but I honestly didn’t enjoy Dua in her debut era. Her songs sounded basic and lacked personality. It's enjoyable! But it's not at the same level of her newer stuff HAIM - FUBT Wow, the melody and the vocals sound very pretty here! I’m honestly impressed cause i have never been a fan of them but this song is quite good! I wish the guitars weren’t as in your face as they are but it was still good! Kelela - LMK This is soooo good! Very catchy! Kendrick Lamar - DNA. Papi, why would you do this to yourself? Nicki Minaj - LLC BOP BOP BOP! One of my favorites from the album. The whole attitude, the instrumental, her flow. So infectious! Olivia O’Brien - UDK This lacks a lot of substance if I’m honest. It’s cute but I’m having the same problem that I had with the Dua song. But at least Dua has an interesting voice and her song is more dynamic Solange - F.U.B.U. This is chill, her voice is nice. It’s a little boring ngl. I like the trumpets and the piano keys a lot. There was no reason for this to be that long :/ Tegan and Sara - BWU I generally like their productions a lot, and this is not an exception. The verses are really good, I don’t like the chorus that much because it gets too noisy. But it was an enjoyable listen overall! Tove Lo - WTF Love Is This is not my favorite song from Lady Wood but it’s still good. I find this song enjoyable so it should place in the upper half, however, I thought a couple of songs were better Edited September 19, 2020 by ughgabriel
Psycho Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 Dua Lipa - IDGAF: Cute for 2017 pop HAIM - FUBT: Not my fave on the album but its cute Kelela - LMK: Kendrick Lamar - DNA: It's not bad but not my fave this round <3 Nicki Minaj - LLC: The pop girl references are cute but its not great Olivia O'Brien - UDK: I don't love her voice but the production is nice I guess Solange - FUBU: Long + boring sorry Tegan and Sara - BWU: Pop excellence I think Tove Lo - WTF Love Is: A sing... This alberm had no fillers @clue @Fruity @Staryu @Legend E @Alena @ughgabriel @thecptz @Navyofbadgals @Rence
miguel Posted September 19, 2020 Author Posted September 19, 2020 Dua Lipa - IDGAF Honestly, this is just generic and unremarkable and easily one of Dua's worst songs. It's a cute bop at times, but yeah. Time hasn't done it any favors either. HAIM - FUBT i love their vocals on this but not huge on how loud the guitar is ... up until the bridge kicked in that is Kelela - LMK i think half the cast tried sending this, so you're in luck for snatching this right away i definitely understand why though, the production absolutely KNOCKS whew Kendrick Lamar - DNA. YUP, i'm usually not the biggest rap fan, but there's a few songs/artists that just do IT for me and Kendrick almost always delivers Nicki Minaj - LLC This is a cute little bop, it got boring quite fast though. Olivia O'Brien - UDK Ehhhh, this is a no. So lifeless and basic. Solange - FUBU this is definitely... not Solange's best song. It's actually really nice at parts but if you're gonna do a 5 minute song might as well change it up to keep the song more interesting/captivating. That outro was absolutely not needed either. Tegan and Sara - BWU Ok this is a bop, I dig it. The production is great! Tove Lo - WTF Love Is YUP, Lady Wood is Tove's best album and songs like this is the reason why @clue @Fruity @Staryu @Legend E @Alena @ughgabriel @thecptz @Navyofbadgals @Rence

shelven Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 Dua Lipa - IDGAF A fun, catchy and well-produced bop. This isn’t as amazing as some of her other singles, but you definitely can’t go wrong with this choice. A really solid song all around. HAIM - FUBT This was nice to listen to - as always, they have great vocals that blend together super well. This could have been better with a bit more of a dynamic instrumental (it took way too long to switch up from just that one guitar riff over and over again), but other than that, good song. Kelela - LMK A really cool song. It has a good balance of interesting and memorable moments in the production while also still being catchy and a chill bop. I liked it! Kendrick Lamar - DNA Props for taking a risk by submitting a solo song by a male rapper. I wish I could reward the risk more and say that I really enjoyed this, but it was alright. I guess I like it more than the average male rap song? But not sure how that will measure against other songs in this round that I more actively like. Nicki Minaj - LLC I was really enjoying this for the first minute or so, but it just doesn’t go anywhere. It feels like it should be an interlude - it’s a great beat and flow in a small dose, but it’s boring as a full 4 minute song. Olivia O'Brien - UDK A solid, enjoyable bop. The chorus was a bit lacklustre and I feel like I would have LOVED this with a punchier chorus. But the verses and pre-chorus were nice and the production was good, so I liked the song overall. Solange - FUBU I’ve tried to get into Solange and understand what all the acclaim she gets, but I just really can’t get into her music. This feels very disjointed and all over the place. I guess the people who love her will say this song is unique and interesting, but it honestly just felt like a messy listening experience to me. And it’s also WAY too long. Tegan and Sara - BWU I enjoyed the chorus of this quite a bit, but the rest of the song was kinda bland and just alright. It’s a cute little pop bop, but probably my least favourite of the traditional pop songs this round. Tove Lo - WTF Love Is YUUUUPPPPP!!!! One of my favourite songs on Lady Wood and in Tove’s entire discography. Excellent song from start to finish. That pre-chorus and chorus are just soooo good. @clue @Fruity @Staryu @Legend E @Alena @ughgabriel @thecptz @Navyofbadgals

Rence Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 Dua Lipa - IDGAF one of my favorites from her debut yup HAIM - FUBT this is really nice Kelela - LMK repetitive but it's a bop Kendrick Lamar - DNA yes kendrick yes excellence Nicki Minaj - LLC I moved a bit Olivia O'Brien - UDK I don't vibe with this Solange - FUBU for a long song I expected something interesting but I got a bore instead Tegan and Sara - BWU a cute bop Tove Lo - WTF Love Is oh period!
ATRL Moderator Legend E Posted September 19, 2020 ATRL Moderator Posted September 19, 2020 Dua Lipa - IDGAF it's a cute sis, but not really my fave on her amazing debut HAIM - FUBT quite enjoyable, love the rest of their new album too Kelela - LMK bitch it's the serve Kendrick Lamar - DNA it's okay Nicki Minaj - LLC no Olivia O'Brien - UDK this is actually cute, will be somewhere in the middle for me Solange - FUBU decent, not my fave this round though Tegan and Sara - BWU oh I haven't heard this one in a while Tove Lo - WTF Love Is she has better
Fruity Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 IDGAF: she has better but it's a solid entry which bops!!! yes dua yes talent FUBU: this song is kind of one note, to be honest, but the vocals are lovely LMK: cute song DNA: the lyrics are great, but i've never enjoyed listening to Kendrick, sorree LLC: it's alright UDK: enjoyable enough to listen to i suppose, but yeh slightly unremarkable F.U.B.U.: i kinda like it, very relaxing and it's def pretty, but there really is not too much there for me to love it BWU: very nice WTF Love is: she has better but it's a solid entry which bops!!! yes ebba yes talent
Navyofbadgals Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 IDGAF - this 1 billion+ streams classique YUPPP!! FUBT - very nice, f you for banning haim and taking them before me LMK - truly excellent WHEWW DNA. - it’s the SERVE oh WOW LLC - absolutely not UDK - basic FUBU - very nice and chill x BWU - this does nothing for me but it’s not the worst WTF Love Is - worst song on lady wood x don’t like this at all
clue Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 IDGAF - This is lowkey better since I've switched from hate to love on Ms. Lipa. FUBT - One of my favorite album tracks of the year. The raw guitars add amazing texture. LMK - A solid song. I'm beyond tired of this album, so it doesn't punch like it used to. But still one of the best songs this round. DNA. - Absolute classic. LLC - This was cute when the album came out, not now. UDK - Cheap sounding. F.U.B.U. - I'm not really sure if you can pluck songs from Solange albums for games like this, like her stuff sounds better within the context of her albums. Nonetheless, this is a refreshing entry for this batch of songs. BWU - I liked this album back in the day, but this was never one of my favorites. WTF Love Is - Very cute chorus.
