Lucky#17 Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Ravyn Lenae — M.I.A. I love-love her usage of background vocals. Venom + this has me interested to check the album out soon. Eyedi — & New Mid-way through I felt the song was dragging a bit but I ended up liking the instrumental/production break in the bridge. The chorus isn’t hitting as much as I’d like though. Janelle Monáe — Oh, Maker Didn’t know this Janelle song prior to this round. The progression is great & I enjoyed that outro. Sky Ferreira — Nobody Asked Me (If I Was Okay) I remember someone submitting this for a game maybe… seven-ish years ago? - something like that. I enjoyed it then & I still do on this listen. 2NE1 — I Don’t Care FFFFFF; The intro had me crackinuppppp!!!! I love a good I Am the Best throwback as much as the next guy, but this song felt flat. I might just have to give it a point off the intro alone though hahaaa, we can use the laughter as a way to say it’s “impressionable”. Jean Deaux — Recipe! Yup. She makes the most of each second. YUKIKA — pit-a-pet Her production from the 2songs I’ve heard is just fantastic. I might have to check this proj. out at some point - it would be my first K-Pop proj. in-full. Wolf Alice — Don’t Delete The Kisses The spoken-ish verses were definitely my favorite portions of the song. Shura — What’s It Gonna Be? Not bad, it’s cute! Might *just* miss my Top10 since people’ve had said the round’s pretty strong. Kiana Ledé f/ Ari Lennox — Chocolate. Very smooth & lovely. Ari really took this to a new level. I’m not familiar with her music much but from the stuff I’ve heard her feature on, she really makes sure to give good harmonies, adlibs, etc. Allie X — GLAM! Eh I only like juvenile-ish songs if I had a connection with them from a younger age/it’s nostalgic, but this is my first time hearing this. I do like it more than a few other songs in here so we’ll see. K. Michelle — V.S.O.P. Oh?! I didn’t know K. Michelle was a *singer* like that. This is really strong. SOPHIE — Is It Cold In The Water? Hmmmmm. This is the song of the round I’ll need to do another pass of before submitting rankings. Chloe x Halle — Don’t Make It Harder On Me You certainly made it easier on me filling up a Top10 slot. Bree Runway — What Do I Tell My Friends? How have I not listened to this1 before?!?! This hits. Kilo Kish — DISTRACTION III: SPOILED ROTTEN What a strong way to end this round! - that outro was a nice punch! ••• Definitely a strong round like those who were more familiar with the songs said it would be. Got 4songs I wanna put as my 10th... these results should be interesting!!! Edited June 14, 2022 by Lucky#17
Julia Fox Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Doing my listen and lashings soon… it will be an interesting round because I just know 7 songs so there will be a lot to discover and based off the reviews already I’m very excited!
Julia Fox Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Ravyn Lenae — M.I.A. i have heard this song once and it was good but forget about it… I really find interesting how she plays with afro beat sounds and also mix it with synths and her voice which is a very interesting instrument… not sure if it’s gonna get many points but I fear it’s gonna get at least 2 points from me… it will all depend on the other songs but it’s really good! also her higher register gives me Doja vibes which is good tho
Julia Fox Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Eyedi — & New ok I wasn’t expecting that summery intro tbh lol it’s a really interesting k pop track if I do say so myself… it start to get tiring after the first chorus to be honest but well at least may get a point or two idk
Julia Fox Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Janelle Monáe — Oh, Maker ok I wasn’t expecting this kind of track from Miss Janelle! It has a very twangy rocky thing at the start but then you see it it’s pure soul/R&B. It’s good just like anything she does tbh
Julia Fox Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Sky Ferreira — Nobody Asked Me (If I Was Okay) The way always I heard this song I felt a raw angst against everyone but also at me… lately I have been doing pretty well tbh so I miss feeling like that so great pick! It will definitely get a lot of points!
Julia Fox Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 2NE1 — I Don’t Care What the **** is this? it’s horrible, terribly dated and the lyrics, verses and chorus are such a bore
Julia Fox Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Jean Deaux — Recipe! ok it gives me a lot of late 2000's R&B sexy bops.. its very good and enjoyable tbh loved it
Julia Fox Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 YUKIKA — pit-a-pet Ok this is so fresh, bubbly and the production is just stellar! Incredible!
Julia Fox Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Wolf Alice — Don’t Delete The Kisses Always loved this song. The other day I listened to it drunk after a night out with my friends at 5AM and I felt every emotion inside of my body. So euphoric Shura — What’s It Gonna Be? It’s not bad but the production/mixing on the chorus is a mess just a bunch of noise which is sad because I like a lot of songs by Shura but this is not one of them tbh Kiana Ledé f/ Ari Lennox — Chocolate. Don’t like this that much tbh I mean it’s good, very groovy, playful and the both of them compliment very well but in this rounds it’s very middle of the road for me. Maybe it will get a point
Staryu Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Janelle Monáe - Oh, Maker This song just feels like a classic tbh, what a great choice, hate I didn't think of it
Julia Fox Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Allie X — GLAM! It sounds like a Kim Petras song which is a bad thing tbh I can see Cher Lloyd singing this back on 2015 trying to get a hit after the flop of her sophomore album. K. Michelle — V.S.O.P. Hmmm… not a fan tbh I mean her vocals are good and the song itself it’s very interesting but it lacks something… also sounds a bit dated tbh it sounds like the early Ariana songs where she wanted to portray Mariah Carey but even worse lol SOPHIE — Is It Cold In The Water? I remember being obsessed with this back in the day when the album came out… then it was just there but after her death I connected with it again in a very spiritual way… but I don’t think it’s enough for this round tbh maybe I will give it a point or two just because it’s Sophie, a legend. R.I.P. Chloe x Halle — Don’t Make It Harder On Me This is probably my favorite song on the album, and that’s enough to receive some points. Love the old school vibe this has and their voices sounds better than ever on this Bree Runway — What Do I Tell My Friends? Very generic… not sure if I like it tbh Kilo Kish — DISTRACTION III: SPOILED ROTTEN Absolutely love this. It has a very interesting production like all of her music and she also shines so much on that. It shows that she knows what’s she’s gonna prove. A bop! Edited June 14, 2022 by Julia Fox
Staryu Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Sky Ferreira - Nobody Asked Me (If I Was Okay) angsty rock bop, I can relate to the lyrics
Staryu Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 2NE1 - I Don’t Care This was fine, not very memorable to me, didn't do much to stand out
Staryu Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Jean Deaux - Recipe! Interesting choice, never heard of her but I was bopping I like how short the song was too, more short and sweet songs please
Staryu Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 YUKIKA - pit-a-pet Let me just listen to her full album after this, she keeps slaying ATRL games
Staryu Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Wolf Alice - Don’t Delete The Kisses A lovely song, has a kind of ethereal feel, very pleasant listen
Staryu Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Shura - What’s It Gonna Be? This was pretty cute, it got a little repetitive after 2 minutes
Staryu Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Kiana Ledé - Chocolate. (feat. Ari Lennox) They compliment each other well I guess, it's a chill song, nice vibe
Staryu Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Allie X - GLAM! She doesn't have the best voice but I still like this, it's cute and fun, 80s inspired, right on my alley as Kandy Ho would say.
Staryu Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 K. Michelle - V.S.O.P. I actually thought about sending this or Can't Raise a Man for this round, but I feel like K. Michelle just isn't well liked enough in this group, so I did not. I like this song though.
