clue Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 CRANES IN THE SKY - Incredible GRAMMY-winning smash. Beautiful production, beautiful lyrics, beautiful Solange. TWO WEEKS - Mega classic. Still her best song probably. PAPER PLANES - Nice for a throwback. Another classic. CELLOPHANE - I don't listen to it much anymore, but it's hauntingly beautiful. I LIKE IT - Beyond tired of this at this point, no shade. I loved it back in the day, though.
ughgabriel Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 Solange - Cranes in the Sky This is chill. It’s nice! I think she is talented and a good artist. But the songs that I’ve heard from her are not something that I would listen to, by choice. Not because the songs aren’t good, but I think her music is just not for me :( But it is pleasant overall and her voice is actually very pretty! FKA twigs - cellophane I don’t know if it’s because I’m such a fan of hers but this song is so gooooood! I always try to sing along to this song when it comes on because it’s just so good! I even try to mimic that beatbox rhythm in the background. It’s one of those songs that really channel the emotion behind the lyrics! M.I.A. - Paper Planes Classic! Honestly this is a high quality, very distinctive song. It has such a good vibe. This is the first time where I’m paying attention to the lyrics since when it came out I wasn’t familiar with the language and it’s very political. Woke queen! Love it FKA twigs - Two Weeks I CAN F*** YOU BETTER THAN HER is such a moment! This is such a good song! To me it was definitely a grower but when it finally hit, whew! Love the instrumental in this song and yeah, really nice! Very good song <3 Cardi B - I Like It This is such a bop and I really like it but I’m a little bit over it since it was so overplayed recently. I’ve always thought J Balvin was kind of unnecessary in this track
Psycho Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 Solange - Cranes In The Sky: It's nice. FKA Twigs - Two Weeks: The only song of her I would go out of my way to listen to M.I.A. - Paper Planes: Bitch it's the classic FKA Twigs - cellophane: I don't like her but this is gawjus Cardi B - I Like It: I was obsessed in 2018. Cute banger @clue @Fruity @Alena @ughgabriel @thecptz
Alena Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 alena's thots CRANES IN THE SKY - she has a very beautiful voice. TWO WEEKS - very good PAPER PLANES - i've always loved this song, super fun. CELLOPHANE - gorgeous. I LIKE IT - Cardi a queen! Super fun summery sing. ♥
miguel Posted September 26, 2020 Author Posted September 26, 2020 Solange - Cranes In The Sky very gorgeous song, her voice here is very beautiful and soothing FKA Twigs - Two Weeks very very pretty song, love it M.I.A. - Paper Planes not a huge fan of this tbh, it's not bad, but just not for me. Too much going on for me to fully enjoy it. FKA Twigs - cellophane love this as well, the production is quite mesmerizing tbh Cardi B - I Like It huge bop me thinks @clue @Fruity @Alena @ughgabriel @thecptz
thecptz Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 the way fka twigs slaying the acclaimed round
ATRL Moderator Element Posted September 27, 2020 ATRL Moderator Posted September 27, 2020 Solange - Cranes In The Sky This is well produced and the melody is beautiful. I don't know how often I would revisit it personally but I enjoyed it. FKA Twigs - Two Weeks Love this! I've never really gotten into FKA Twigs but this is really excellent. M.I.A. - Paper Planes FKA Twigs - cellophane Compared to Two Weeks, this song is underwhelming. I can see how people would like it atmospherically, but it was the only song that really dragged on for me this round honestly. Cardi B - I Like It This song feels a bit out of place in this round tbh. We have all of these avant-garde, original songs and then here's a massive hit that samples another track... do I like this song? Absolutely yes. Major bop! Does it live to up the quality of the top songs here? I don't think so. @clue @Fruity @Alena @ughgabriel @thecptz
shelven Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 Solange - Cranes In The Sky I mentioned the last time that Solange was submitted that I’ve never been able to get into her, and that continues to apply. This is at least MUCH better than the other song by her that was used earlier this season, but this doesn’t do anything for me beyond just being a chill listen that got kind of boring by the end. FKA Twigs - Two Weeks I really like basically everything about this. Super captivating production and tons of cool moments throughout the melody and vocal delivery. I would definitely listen to this again. M.I.A. - Paper Planes A truly excellent classic. This song has such a unique personality to it that makes it enjoyable to listen to every single time. I will say it feels more repetitive than I remember, but overall I still really like this song. FKA Twigs - cellophane I really like the instrumental, the minimalist piano worked well for me. The melody and vocals are also quite captivating. This kept my attention in a positive way, I liked it. Cardi B - I Like It Such a strong definition of a massive summer bop. Her flow on this is just SO catchy and the chorus incorporates the sample so well. Bad Bunny’s verse is also excellent. J Balvin’s verse is weaker and I feel like the song could have ended before it got to him tbh, but overall this is a super enjoyable bop. @clue @Fruity @Alena @ughgabriel @thecptz
Touch It Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 cranes in the sky: masterpiece, beautiful, amazing two weeks: masterpiece, beautiful, amazing paper planes: cute classic bop but not masterpiece, beautiful, amazing cellophane: beautiful song but two weeks is much better i like it: fun bop but its not masterpiece, beautiful, amazing
Fruity Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Fruity critiques ~ Cranes in the Sky - outstandingly, unreasonably, illustriously and hauntingly beautiful cellophane - it’s nice. A bit grating. Makes me feel a bit anxious honestly Paper Planes - it’s a classic, which has nostalgia value, but doesn’t do too much for me other than that really. The lyrics are definitely interesting. The incorporation of real world sounds in the chorus is very cool too. The beat is kind of cool but definitely gets annoying. The verses have a very monotonous sound Two Weeks - I always thought I despised this album and vocalised my hatred for it regularly considering its cult status but I should probably try it again now that my music taste has developed. Anyway this was good, way better than I remember, I prefer this to cellophane actually I Like It - this is definitely a mega bop and the combination of production elements and fusion of genre is quite extraordinary in this track. The sample incorporation is perfect. There’s kind of so many twists and developments packed into 4 minutes. It’s definitely more intricate than people give it credit for... Music doesn’t have to be pretentious to be good. Although I agree J Balvin doesn’t live up to Cardi and Bunny ~ end Edited September 27, 2020 by Fruity
