NDA

 

Average score: 7.23

High score: 10 (@madonnas, @Invisibility)

Low score: 5 (@Insanity, @BnPac, @Reverie)

 

 

Superstardom has robbed Billie Eilish of a typical adolescence. She has a restraining order against a stalker who identifies himself as Lucifer, she can’t throw a party at her sick new pad and even a casual hook-up requires that the guy sign a non-disclosure agreement. Her frustrations over the dark side of fame, which have her contemplating quitting music, are channeled into this brooding industrial wail, the fifth single from Happier Than Ever. (At least she retains some sense of humor about everything, as on the cheeky second verse, stacked with references to other tracks from the album.) Backed by a self-directed music video in which Billie wanders a desert highway at night, narrowly avoiding getting run over by racing cars, “NDA” was rushed out as she strained to find a hit for the era. But it found even less success than its predecessors, scraping to #39 on the Billboard Hot 100 while missing the top twenty on pop radio and the top thirty for rock airplay.

 

Best bit: the pounding outro, in which Billie wonders, “Did I take it too far?”

 

ATRL says...: “One of the best ‘I’m a celebrity and it’s so hard’ songs,” @madonnas stated.

ON IT

ft. Ari Lennox

 

Average score: 7.25

High score: 10 (@MP2K, @Eric., @Reverie)

Low score: 3 (@Taemira)

 

 

An anthem to horniness that mixes smooth sensuality with a twist of humor. Jazmine Sullivan and Ari Lennox are ready to sit on a nine-incher, but first they need the man to earn the ride with some cunnilingus. Though not an official single from Heaux Tales, “On It” nevertheless became a minor hit on the R&B charts upon its release.

 

Best bit: “Take this water and hydrate, bitch”

 

ATRL says...: @madonnas found it “a little boring, but I like the lyrics.” @BnPac praised Jazmine for being a “heaux with standards!”

[supaspaz]

I love the way Jazmine Sullivan says bitch. Simply one of the best to do it.

ALL NIGHT PARKING

with Erroll Garner

 

Average score: 7.30

High score: 10 (@supaspaz, @Quicksand, @Reverie)

Low score: 4 (@Saddy, @MP2K)

 

 

What makes an interlude? Is it simply a shorter run time? Does it represent a musical sketch rather than a complete artistic concept? Must it abandon traditional song structure? Adele, not known for her concision, has never played with the format before, and on 30, her inaugural experiment is still longer than several tracks from Sour and Jubilee. But, oh, is it glorious! At nearly three minutes, this Amy Winehouse-esque, neo-soul mood piece envelops the listener like a warm bath, as Adele moons over her first relationship since leaving her husband. “All Night Parking” is built on Joey Pecoraro’s 2017 instrumental “Finding Parking,” which itself samples jazz pianist Erroll Garner’s “No More Shadows,” leading Garner to posthumously receive the first-ever feature on an Adele album. Its steady rock never wavers or climaxes and the track ultimately conclude without shifting out of first gear, much like the doomed long-distance relationship it commemorates, a perfect meeting of theme and form.

 

Best bit: “I get lost in our hours 'cause you possess powers I can't fight”

 

ATRL says...: “The interlude being one of the best songs… kii,” @Ewan Chaos laughed. @BnPac was proud of Adele. “When I clicked play on 25 a few years, I really didn't think that she had it in her to do a song like this. She can actually be good.”
