The production was so perfect for the thunderstorm aesthetic, wow. From a personal taste perspective... I would never listen to it willingly, but I can acknowledge that it was exciting and different. Carly Rae Jepsen - Western Wind (A slightly breezy, warm, sunny late Spring day) I mean.... this is just perfection for the theme. Sonically and lyrically, it encapsulates the feeling with ease. I can FEEL spring approaching (and I need it badly). When this first came out, I felt kind of bored by it and gave it like a 7/10. The track massively grew on me throughout the year and now I absolutely love it. Charli XCX - Stay Away (Rain) I've never heard this before! I do wish the chorus was a little more explosive, but it was still enjoyable. For the theme... I can see the angle you're taking, with relating this back to a gloomy, rainy day. However, it's not the strongest association compared to some other entries. Christina Aguilera - Fighter (Hurricane) Creative metaphor without a doubt. I do especially like the recognition of the buildup at the beginning. The song is quite intense and I think a hurricane's playlist would definitely have this playing! IDK if I am fully seeing it from a lyrical perspective since the song is a bit uplifting in its POV. This is def a strong Xtina song and classic for me though. Demi Lovato - Cool for the Summer (Sunny, hot, summer, etc.) One of Demi's absolute best!! I love this song. I think it makes a lot of sense as your choice for the round. Doja Cat - Vegas (Sunny - Humid Heat) Feels like a nighttime song to me but I don't disagree with the humid/heat association. I think that works pretty well. As for the song itself, I haven't been crazy about this despite hearing it on the radio all the time. It's like one of those songs that I'll listen to if nothing else is on. FKA twigs - fallen alien (A very rainy and windy thunderstorm... the rain is pouring and the thunder is loud.) I feel kind of mixed about this entry on both fronts. There are definitely parts of the song where the production/chaotic vocals feel right for a thunderstorm. Other times, they feel a bit too sparse. From a personal taste perspective, I like the parts with a lot of production and instrumentation... but the more stripped sections with just her voice, I am not a fan of. Kesha - Love Into the Light (Sunset - Stormy Night - Sunrise) I loved the image that you painted with your description! I definitely could see the sunset aspect in the early parts, but I am not sure I was sold on the element of storminess in the choruses. The return of the quieter verses also made didn't align with what I expected. From a personal taste perspective?? I loved this song back in 2012 and I am HAPPY to report that it aged well for me. What a lovely track truly! Miley Cyrus - Malibu (Hot sunny weather after a storm has passed) I've always really loved this song! It might not be her best, but it's high up there for me tbh. It's simple and beautiful. The weather association is clear and your write-up descriptive. No complaints there. P!nk - Family Portrait (Thunderstorm) Hmm... yeah this one is a bit of a stretch for the theme honestly. I think it definitely works lyrically, but I'm not sold on the sonics at all. I will say that I really enjoyed this song from the taste perspective... like why is she not making music like this anymore ugh?? I'm sick of generic mom music! The kids voices at the end + the length did start to dwindle my enjoyment towards the end. Shygirl - Firefly (Drizzling rain) I think you're definitely on a good track with your description and connection the drizzling rain! It works fairly well for me lyrically and sonically. This song is fine for me personally, but nothing that gets me too excited. Solange - I Decided, Part 1 (Sunny sky with a rainbow and puffy clouds, think of this image) Pretty good connection to the weather and I appreciated the imagery!! I enjoyed the song too. Very positive feeling that left me happy at the end of this playlist! @CBC @Staryu @Future Lover @Auburn @Noah @EscapismRoars @Touch It @Lucky#17 @wish @Rotunda @minho @Not Like The Movies thank you judge element
