Ethel Cain - American Teenager

 

There are some points that you have made 

[Dessy]

Shygirl - Cleo

 

This is amazing?????????????????????

[Dessy]

Mitski - Love Me More

 

Only the chorus is good. I'm sorry 

[Dessy]

Wonder Girls - John Doe

 

They ate this 

[Dessy]

Soccer Mommy - Cool

 

An effort was made. 

[Dessy]

Azealia Banks - Liquorice

 

It's cute [3]

[Lucky#17]

UMI — Love Affair

This is cute; round’s off to a nice start.

 

Nelly Furtado f/ Attitude — Afraid

The chorus doesn’t elevate the song for me/lets it down & the outro was ehhh. The beat’s good & I do love Attitude’s verse - that 2000s pre-autotune Rap-on-Pop/Rhythmic-track thing was a TIME. Ahh, I struggle with what I think of this as a whole.

 

Lindsay Lohan — Magnet

Usually a sucker for nostalgic submissions but neither this or Afraid really hit the spot.

 

Bad Bunny — El Apagón

Loved the production all over this. Bad Bunny & the female singer both were split well in time. Would love to hear this hard-tipsy in a club.

 

Teyana Taylor — Gonna Love Me

It ends right when it needs to. Enjoyed it.

 

Tim Atlas — Wallflower

In love with the production but the lyrics/vocals don’t excite me as much. I wanna pop out a point for you taking a risk with a male artist but I think there’ll be too many entries I prefer to do so :/ Really hope you don’t get elim’d though.

 

V V Brown — The Apple

Crrrrraaaaazzzyy, my sister & I have been watching Degrassi over the last year (re-watch for me) & I constantly tell her how legendary the Shark in the Water/Boiling Point teaser was like the BEST TV teaser of all-time (we’re about to get to that season too, just in time for summer!!!). This is such a shift from SITW but I actually REALLY-REALLY like it. One of those rare ASC moments where I wanna write it down & actually listen after the competition.

 

Ella Mai — Power of a Woman

Liked her first album lots but I haven’t heard the new1 as I heard it’s not as strong. This track made for fine background music, but didn’t grip-grip me.

 

India Shawn f/ Anderson .Paak — MOVIN’ ON

Hmm... this woulda fared better for me in that “male Rapper”-themed round, if it was released then.

 

Ethel Cain — American Teenager

This kind of music usually isn’t my style but there’s something about this song (can’t put my finger on it) that I quite like. Feels effortless.

 

Shygirl — Cleo

The strings... the beat that’s constantly sampled… the vocal delivery & engineering… everything just WORKED. Again, writing this down to listen to after the competition’s over.

 

Mitski — Love Me More

Well this is lovely! If it doesn’t make my Top10, it came close.

 

Wonder Girls — John Doe

Screamin’, not me expecting some somber/melancholic song from the title. This is cute, very Springtime, but I’m not sure if it’s strong enough for this round.

 

Soccer Mommy — Cool

Not bad, just not my thing.

 

Azealia Banks — Liquorice

Funnily enough, this was the first AB song I’d ever listened to & on first listen I wasn’t feeling it/didn’t get it (I then checked 212 which changed my outlook on music ‘cause I was so in love). Back to Liquorice, overtime I’ve grown to love it. Cheers to a high placement.

 

Hatchie — Til We Run Out of Air

ykw I actually didn’t mind the length ‘cause the vocals & lyrics were strong. If it doesn’t make my Top10, it came close.

 

VanJess — Come Over

ff; this is fits in a “Chronicles of a Uni Student” playlist so well. Had I known about this earlier, I’m sure my friends & I woulda overplayed it throughout the semester.

 

ROSALÍA — DIABLO

Heard lots about the album - still haven’t checked it out aside from some pre-release tracks. This was nice!

 

Janelle Monáe — Cold War

Now you did your research just right & dug deep in that memory. Job well done.

 

Red Velvet — BAMBOLEO

Eh, didn’t do much for me.

 

MØ — New Moon

Aside from the post-chorus, I wasn’t invested with this1.

 

Kali Uchis f/ PARTYNEXTDOOR — fue mejor

Wish you took a risk with other ‘Sin Miedo’ tracks but I still like this1 enough to pop out some points.

 

Kilo Kish — AMERICAN GURL

Not bad by any means, just couldn’t get into it.

 

Mylène Farmer — Méfie-toi

Screamin’, not the last song being the only “hard-hard pass” of the playlist for me. Lemme say that the album artwork is gorgeous though.

[Dessy]

Hatchie - Til We Run Out Of Air

 

It's solid. But seeing what's left, it'll probably not make my list

[Auburn]

UMI - Love Affair

I really like this

[Auburn]

Nelly Furtado - Afraid

I’ve always LOVED this as the opener to the album, it’s got dark vibes

[Auburn]

Lindsay Lohan - Magnet

like… a pop-rock bop period

[Auburn]

Bad Bunny - El Apagón

the beginning is kinda annoying, the rest is fine

[Auburn]

Teyana Taylor - Gonna Love Me

this is a nice vibe, I liked it

[Auburn]

Tim Atlas - Wallflower

this is pretty good, but is that enough for points this round?

[Auburn]

V V Brown - The Apple

I appreciate the art here, I only listened to this album once or twice a long time ago but I need to revisit it cuz I enjoyed this

[Auburn]

Ella Mai - Power Of A Woman

never been a fan of her voice much, but at least this is more tolerable than Poo’d Up x

[Auburn]

India Shawn - MOVIN’ ON (feat. Anderson .Paak)

another strong entry

[Auburn]

Ethel Cain - American Teenager

poor Nick, love this

[Auburn]

Shygirl - Cleo

took a while to ramp up but a bop

[Dessy]

VanJess - Come Over

 

You know that fresh breeze of wind that just cut through everything. This that song 

[Auburn]

Mitski - Love Me More

I just don’t think this is enough to get points from me this round

[Dessy]

oh sudden auburn
