BnPac Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Little Love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted July 31, 2022 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2022 MY LITTLE LOVE Average score: 8.18 High score: 10 (@supaspaz, @Insanity, @MP2K, @Ewan Chaos, @Taemira, @Norte, @Reverie) Low score: 1 (@creativity.) Some said it couldn’t be done! But Adele scrapes into the top ten of this countdown with her final remaining track from 30, an experimental quiet storm ballad dedicated to her son. As she explains why she divorced his father and comes to terms with how much it has devastated both of them, Adele shares snippets of their sometimes turbulent conversations about her depression and his feelings of abandonment. Then, with “My Little Love” winding to its finish over grandiose orchestral strings, we get an extraordinary confessional in which Adele is brought to tears by her own loneliness. It is stunning, in every sense of the word – one of the most astonishingly intimate songs that a major pop star has ever put to record. Best bit: “When you lay on me, can you hear the way my heart breaks?” ATRL says...: “Gorgeous song, gorgeous sentiment, the backing vocals in the chorus, WHEW,” @Ewan Chaos raved. @BnPac, on the other hand, thought “this could have been better. The dialogues with her kid elevate the song, but I feel like the second verse could be improved. Some dialogues should have been given more time to breathe, especially the kid's before the song takes over again. But still, the emotional part is well conveyed.” And @creativity. hated it, complaining that “incorporating children’s voices is EASILY one of my least favorite things in music.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted July 31, 2022 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2022 And that's the final song to receive a 1. If @creativity. had given "My Little Love" even a 6, its next lowest score, it would have been competing for the top five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted July 31, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2022 Too high for her but it’s one of the few songs I don’t mind on the album so I’m happy with it being her highest. Good to see Olivia outlasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted July 31, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2022 BBN in the top ten is surprising to me so I assume it’s our next. Great song though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted July 31, 2022 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2022 OXYTOCIN Average score: 8.23 High score: 10 (@madonnas, @Lucas32, @Ewan Chaos, @Fitzswiftie, @Invisibility, @creativity., @Quicksand) Low score: 3 (@Saddy) Billie Eilish is ready to ravage a dude, in front of God and anyone else who may be listening through the wall, on this pulsing electro rave-up. Named for a hormone released into the bloodstream during sexual activity and childbirth that stimulates social bonding, “Oxytocin” is pure musical libido, a menacing warning that she’s about do bad things that will make him yell. The final song written for Happier Than Ever, it was intentionally crafted to provide a hype moment for live shows. Best bit: “‘Cause I like to do things God doesn't approve of if She saw us” ATRL says...: “Banger banger banger banger banger,” was all @Ewan Chaos could manage. @madonnas called it “her best song. It’s basically the best Billie qualities all mashed into one.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewan Chaos Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I just got here, let me get caught up as we go through the finale! Glad to see Oxytocin getting top 10 at least I love that the lyrics kinda read like she's gonna kill the dude in verse 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted July 31, 2022 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2022 BILLIE BOSSA NOVA Average score: 8.28 High score: 10 (@supaspaz, @ultraviolence.xx, @Lucas32, @Ace Reject, @creativity., @Norte) Low score: 5 (@Saddy) Voters were really feeling the new, sexual Billie Eilish on Happier Than Ever, also elevating this oozingly sultry take on the classic Brazilian samba beat. “Billie Bossa Nova” imagines a secret rendezvous at a hotel, with fake names, Billie catching feelings and perhaps an erotic home movie to be made.
