Tom Vercetti Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Björk - Mutual Core (Touch): I didn't really grasp the "touch" vibes fully at first but upon further listening it makes more sense. Song wise I always liked how dynamic it was. It's what fossora wanted to do. Carly Rae Jepsen - Stay Away (Touch): I get the touch direction from this song. Is it the best of it though? hmm. Song wise, it has a decent hook. Charli XCX - Take My Hand (Touch): It's on the nose lyrically. It didn't age as well as some of the other TR songs but it's fine. Christina Aguilera - Candyman (Taste): From the title alone, you had the taste direction down pact. Great execution. Demi Lovato - The Way You Don't Look At Me (Sight): Yay a sight selection. You sold your deep explanation on the song well. Quality wise, this was chill. One of her better songs. FKA twigs - Video Girl (Sight): An inspired choice. I didn't get the full insight on what this song was about until the description so it def fits. A vibe it is, yeah. Miley Cyrus - Party In The U.S.A. (Hearing): Yes we reminisce hearing jay z and britney on the radio back in 09. I get the choice in a sense that hearing those songs/hollywood sounds makes her feel more comfortable around a setting she's not used to. It's not a timeless song but still good for the radio. Solange - Don't Touch My Hair (Touch): Another flaw free execution. I think this is the best of the touch selections. Song wise, one of my faves from her. @CBC @Staryu @Future Lover @Auburn @Noah @Touch It @wish @Not Like The Movies
ATRL Moderator Element Posted March 21, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted March 21, 2023 ELEMENT'S CRITIQUES Björk - Mutual Core (Touch) First of all, I love the lyrics of this song! They are really vivid and unique. I think that it fits the theme pretty well and in a creative way, so nice job! The song was pretty solid for me. Definitely in the middle range of enjoyability for me across this season. Carly Rae Jepsen - Stay Away (Touch) I think this is clear and effective with the theme. Multiple references to the sense in question. I'm looking back at my playlists around the time Dedicated Side B released, and this was one of the few songs I actually saved back then. It's a bop! Definitely a standout from that era. Charli XCX - Take My Hand (Touch) Another solid entry for the theme! It's a little murky with the touch aspect maybe not being as tactile/sensual as other entries, but I think it works well. Boppy enough, but nothing really excited me. Christina Aguilera - Candyman (Taste) Glad to see a taste entry!! Arguably the most fun sense for a campy song. I think it's a great representation of the theme. I enjoy this song to a point. It's fun but gets a bit annoying at times... it's like an 8/10 for me in a rate. Demi Lovato - The Way You Don't Look At Me (Sight) Thank you for the description, because it definitely helped me understand a bit more. At face value, the lyrics are not the strongest for the theme honestly but the greater context is helpful. As far as personal taste goes... this was kind of in one ear and out the other. Pleasant but mid. FKA twigs - Video Girl (Sight) I liked this within the range of how much I enjoy FKA Twigs. Interesting take on the challenge. I think it's a pretty good take on the theme overall! I like the dual meaning that you explained to us. Miley Cyrus - Party In The U.S.A. (Hearing) Mega bop and classic like.... your explanation was very cute and sold it to me for the most part tbh Solange - Don't Touch My Hair (Touch) Strongest entry of the round for both categories IMO! It was beautiful and another thoughtful/unique perspective from you and Solange. You're in your slay era! @CBC @Staryu @Future Lover @Auburn @Noah @Touch It @wish @Not Like The Movies
