Hanami-Blossom Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 My indecisiveness is being extra flamboyant right now, omg
ATRL Moderator Legend E Posted May 22, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted May 22, 2022 Can we also change later btw? (If the artist has not been picked 3 times already?)
fountain Posted May 22, 2022 Author Posted May 22, 2022 By the way for future reference, if you want to look back on anything, the 2nd post in the thread is kept updated with all the relevant links to the challenges/reviews/live shows and rankings, so check back there if you're looking for anything!

Hanami-Blossom Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 I'm glad I locked in a good choice, I might change it later
Achilles. Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) Feel like picking Lord is such a double edged sword. What if everyone expects a champagne problems but my muse decides to serve an I Wish You Would? (IWYW is still a great song, but it’s a bit commercial…) Edited May 22, 2022 by Achilles.

fountain Posted May 22, 2022 Author Posted May 22, 2022 Very intrigued to see what all the artist picks are going to be

Hug Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 Well, as far as the album concept is concerned I can think of a couple artists that'd let me lean into that idea pretty well, and I 100% would not need to worry about them being picked three times. Still, the problem would be me pigeonholing myself into becoming...samey? I don't think the judges want a RAVAGED part 2 immediately and idk if I do either because low-key this is like the 4th sex pop bop I've written out of my 5 most recent songs.
Augmented Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 Augmented - Lizzo Yep a very left field choice for me but I can already envision a funky, speak singing bop in my head!
Hanami-Blossom Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 I feel like my other choices won't be picked so that's a relief I can switch to them freely.
mxtthewdelrey Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 Can we pick an artist who sings in a different language but write in English?

Interesting, as in for example picking a kpop group and writing something that is in the vein of their music / the English translation of their lyrics? I don’t see why not in that case!

Hanami-Blossom Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 How exactly will the judging criteria for this round work? How will you verify that each of us followed the challenge? For example, if someone picks an artist that the judges are unfamiliar with - what happens? I'm struggling to phrase my question but I hope this makes sense
Aurora Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 Friendly reminder that sign-ups are still open and will remain open all season. This means that if you missed the Element challenge or just didn't click with that prompt but like the sound of the Studio Session challenge, you can still submit! Similarly, if the Studio Session prompt isn't inspiring to you, you can take the week off if you want and come back for Round 3. In either case, a non-submission will count as a "0" when determining your season average, so we always recommend submitting something even if it's not your best work, but ultimately the choice is yours, and it's not all about winning. I will contact the Top 3 from Round 1 to see who or what they would like on their tokens, and present them later in the week (or day, depending on how soon they get back to me!)
Hug Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 Aw hell. Since we got that answer, I...think I know who I'm choosing for now? Hug - Xydo Subject to change maybe but I know the direction I'd like to take using this choice!
fountain Posted May 22, 2022 Author Posted May 22, 2022 1. Achilles - Taylor Swift 2. luckystrike - Troye Sivan 3. Astro - Nicki Minaj (?) 4. Legend E - Kelly Clarkson 5. Hanami-Blossom - Carly Rae Jepsen 6. GentleDance - Fiona Apple 7. Jessie - Prince 8. Augmented - Lizzo 9. JoeAg - Kate Bush 10. ughgabriel - Zola Jesus 11. Hug - Xydo I believe this is up to date! Correct me if not

Honestly it sounds like something I would've written in early 2017, when I was still practicing! Now that I'm reading the lyrics again, I definitely agree with you on the syllables! Not gonna lie though, I haven't written a song in close to 2 years, so this round was really a way to stimulate my creative juices again after being rusty af. Plus, it's something I haven't tried writing before too I'm sooo thankful for the stuff you mentioned though and I'll keep it in mind for the upcoming rounds! 11 hours ago, Prisoner said: That artwork is so good and the lyrics as well, i really love the storytelling. Also is her house burning down supposed to be a metaphor of her own life as well? Thank you so much! Honestly, I never really thought about it that far I was like "lemme create a song about literal fire" and her mental state. Hence, the line "Now every night will remain a scorching memory in her mind" 9 hours ago, Hanami-Blossom said: Thank you for this sweet like honey (I'm lowkey tired of honey now *cackle*) comment! That is part of the beauty of this game is that we can learn from ourselves and also from each other. It feels so rewarding that my song had a positive impact on you. Even though I've had prior songwriting experience, it is so enjoyable and humbling to be put into the position of a "beginner" again. I feel like I am tapping into a well of creative energy right now and it is overflowing through everyone in this game. I love your openness about learning new things from others. It can be a difficult thing to allow ourselves to do, let alone openly admit. Learning is an endless experience that enriches over time, the more that you learn. It is a worthwhile investment that yields acres and acres of crops for you to harvest for yourself and the seeds of learning can be transferred over to others too, for them to grow and nurture their craft as well. I think accepting that you don't know it all is an exciting realisation that can lead to tons of adventure and this is something that I am realising. Whew, don't mind me I am having a #lifequotes moment right now. I just feel like it can be easy to fall into the claws of darkness in this world, I would love to be someone who can remind people of the brightness that shines within us and our innate ability to connect with that and radiate it powerfully. I'm so excited for Round 2 I definitely agree with you there! I really enjoy how we're able to learn different things from each other's songs because it opens up new perspectives Honestly, if it weren't for this game, I wouldn't be sure if I would've written a song anytime soon because of how busy I've been lately. So, I'm glad this game pushed me to try writing again and sharing them with everyone ---- @Aurora @fountain @Element Thank you so much for the score! I was sleeping when the whole reveal was going on but I'll try to wake up a bit earlier next time. I honestly didn't expect a top 20 since this is the first time I've written something along these lines Also, HUGE congrats to @GentleDance @Prisoner @Legend E for ending up in the Top 3!
