Sanguine Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 ROUND EIGHT CRITIQUES Björk - Hyper-ballad: Love this song! In some ways, it feels like the precursor to Joga with the flow and delivery in the chorus Carly Rae Jepsen - Run Away With Me: Already praised this song and ranked it #1 in the audition so I think you know what score you're getting from me Charli XCX - Nuclear Seasons: Well this is her best song and also a top ten best song of all time so there's that... probably my favorite entry of the whole game so far. Wish I could give you bonus points! Christina Aguilera - Can't Hold Us Down: A nice bop! Strangely this was a hit for her but I never really knew it or had any attachment until recently, but the general sound is familiar because it's very 2000's and reminds me of that Blu Cantrell song Demi Lovato - Lonely: I'm not a fan of the way this sits halfway between a sultry R&B song and a DJ Mustard bop, wish it just went one way or the other. Also not big on Wayne's more Drake-ish verses FKA twigs - mirrored heart: The chorus is so heartbreaking and easily the highlight of the song, overall really good too Kesha - Supernatural: I used to STAN Warrior, parts of it aged weirdly to me including this song (mostly due to the drops and harder EDM sound than her previous stuff), but it's definitely a bop. The outro is great! Miley Cyrus - Violet Chemistry: A highlight from ESV, I'm not sure it stands as a highlight against these entries or in her discog though. Production in the chorus with the touches of Atlanta Bass slaps at least! Shygirl - Asher Wolfe: I was hoping you would send from here eventually, Cruel Practice is just pure NOCTURNAL energy that really transports you to a different place. Although it's not one of her best songs the dark and ominous vibe is so cool Solange - Sandcastle Disco: Another audition entry that I already praised! Amazing song @CBC @Staryu @Future Lover @Auburn @Noah @Touch It @Lucky#17 @wish @minho @Not Like The Movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttoki Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 『h』『i』『k』『a』『r』『i』 『h』『a』『s』 『s』『h』『*』『t』 『t』『o』 『s』『a』『y』 Björk - Hyper-ballad Yep, bring out the big guns! (Robyn just coudln't do it!) I mean this (long/lengthy songs) is where she excels the most. Definitely one of my faves by her, enjoyed every bit of the song. Carly Rae Jepsen - Run Away With Me Who doesn't love this song? Well... maybe a few people here. All I'm gonna say is it deserves to be one of her classics. Charli XCX - Nuclear Seasons The girls are not playing! Another major classic from her most underrated album, loves it! Christina Aguilera - Can't Hold Us Down Feminism! Kim ate with her verses here! Probably my seocond fave single of this era after Fighter x Demi Lovato - Lonely Well, she sounded really good here without having going over the top. I wish we could hear less of Lil Wayne her but the song was still solid overall. FKA twigs - mirrored heart "It's all for the gain..." My favorite in Magdalene. Just such a beautiful song, you can really feel her emotions in this. She mothered really hard. Kesha - Supernatural Hmmm not bad, I wouldn't say I loved it as much as the other entries here, but it had some nice moments here and there. Miley Cyrus - Violet Chemistry I see... we're going for recency bias here x Definitely one of the better songs in the album, she should've gone for more of this direction for the album tbh. Shygirl - Asher Wolfe You chose the better option, so I'll give you that. I love the EP where this came from but i'd rank this in the middle out of the songs there. Solange - Sandcastle Disco You did play it safe this time x but i don't care, I still love this song and I think this is one of her best <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euterpe Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Everyone fit criteria! Woohoo! @CBC @Staryu @Future Lover @Auburn @Noah @Touch It @Lucky#17 @wish @minho @Not Like The Movies Björk - Hyper-ballad Do I like it? I’m not the biggest fan of the beats in the song; it’s very distracting and doesn’t sound right with the vocals. Carly Rae Jepsen - Run Away With Me Do I like it? I like this better than I did the first time. I think it’s growing on me! Charli XCX - Nuclear Seasons Do I like it? This was pretty enjoyable! Christina Aguilera - Can't Hold Us Down Do I like it? I like it. It sounds like a classic. Demi Lovato - Lonely Do I like it? I like it, but it’s not amazing, I think the song would’ve been better with some tweaks. Her vocals sounded good! FKA twigs - mirrored heart Do I like it? Very much so! And the bridge was >>>> Kesha - Supernatural Do I like it? I loved the choruses and the bridge, but I think they could’ve took out some of the heavy beats in the verses, because it really took away how good those parts are. Miley Cyrus - Violet Chemistry Do I like it? Oh wow oh wow, this is a song I will now listen to on repeat. Shygirl - Asher Wolfe Do I like it? Not a fan of some of the beats, but otherwise, this is a whole vibe. Solange - Sandcastle Disco Do I like it? I have no memory of how I felt about it last time, so this feels new. I think it’s a really cute song, I just wish the beats were a little lower throughout, but I did enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator Element Posted March 12, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted March 12, 2023 ELEMENT'S CRITIQUES Björk - Hyper-ballad Interesting production! Not my favorite of hers nor is it my least favorite. Carly Rae Jepsen - Run Away With Me Pop perfection and hasn't gotten old for me at all. Charli XCX - Nuclear Seasons Nice enough. I wasn't really hooked by any element of this, but it's not a bad song by any means. Christina Aguilera - Can't Hold Us Down This is cool and fun and boppy. I wish the chorus had a little more variation in the melody, but I like it overall. Demi Lovato - Lonely This was just kind of "there" for me on this playlist. It's pretty enough but not too memorable. Also... I absolutely love Kingdom Come and Two Pieces... those songs were #robbed FKA twigs - mirrored heart This is one of her most entrancing tracks tbh. I feel like I'm drowning in her pain and reflection. Love the atmosphere and the emotion. Kesha - Supernatural Oop wow another banger throwback from Miss Sebert! I definitely had this one purchased on iTunes back in the day. Love the chorus and that beat goes so hard! Feels like a 2012 time capsule for sure. Miley Cyrus - Violet Chemistry I fear this is the best song on Endless Summer Vacation! Really loving the production. I do feel a little strangely about this being here, since if baby z didn't have his trip, you would not have been able to send this a week ago when the round was supposed to go up. Liberty Walk would have been a smash for me if so!! Shygirl - Asher Wolfe OOH this was very interesting actually. I loved the unsettling nocturnal energy. She definitely excels with that vibe!! Solange - Sandcastle Disco I love the joyful spirit of this song!! It's really such a bop. Great choice to bring us some sunny rhythm and a smile at the end of the playlist! @CBC @Staryu @Future Lover @Auburn @Noah @Touch It @Lucky#17 @wish @minho @Not Like The Movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Vercetti Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Björk - Hyper-ballad: Great early era song. Carly Rae Jepsen - Run Away With Me: It's alright. Feel the same as the audition moment in that I never really hardcore fan'd over this. Charli XCX - Nuclear Seasons: One of her best openers. Christina Aguilera - Can't Hold Us Down: Didn't do much for me personally. Demi Lovato - Lonely: Not a fan tbh. FKA twigs - mirrored heart: Wasn't too sold on this until the last minute. Overall it's just fine. Kesha - Supernatural: A bit disjointed to me. Miley Cyrus - Violet Chemistry: Recency bias helps this out. Like the production. Shygirl - Asher Wolfe: Good enough. Solange - Sandcastle Disco: Still like this. Judge entry: In a hurry here so these crits are a bit rushed,.
