Graves Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Sakura is kind of lame. The rest of the album devours.

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 17, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Posted June 17, 2023 CHURCH GIRL Average score: 7.09 High score: 10 (@Taemira, @Ace Reject) Low score: 1 (@305) It makes sense that this raunchy praise song for the ladies who can drop it like a thottie in the club and then show up to services the next morning would be the lowest-rated track from Renaissance in this rate. After all, ATRL is a noted den of heathens and homosexuals. “Church Girl,” however, is for everyone – a cry of liberation and self-love (“Nobody can judge me but me/I was born free”) that can comfortably combine samples of The Clarks Sisters’ “Center of Thy Will” and The Showboys’ “Drag Rap.” Best bit: “Let it go, girl/Let it out, girl/Twirl that ass like you came up out the South, girl” ATRL says…: Opinions were sharply divided. “When the album came out and people were saying this absolute bop was the worst song on the album, I COULD NOT BELIEVE,” @Ewan Chaos wrote. But @cockatoo called it “the only skip on the album. I rated every other song from memory but had to back and listen to this again to remind me what it sounded like…” @Katamari simply screamed, “NO!” @Rev8 surmised that “you have to have a niche taste to like it..something like Xtina's ‘Accelerate’!” Not sure if I see that vision.
cockatoo Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Not the Accelerate comparison, it's not *that* bad 1
Graves Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Church Girl is so fun tho. The sample, the breakdown, "must be the money cus it ain't ya face"... whew!

BlackoutZone Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 it just feels like the track and her singing are two different melodies

Graves Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 I wanna be center... I wanna be center... I wanna be center...
State of Grace. Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 It's definitely one of the "weakest" songs but didn't deserve to go first.
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 17, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Posted June 17, 2023 LA FAMA ft. The Weeknd Average score: 7.09 High score: 10 (@CBC) Low score: 1 (@jacklovesyou1, @creativity.) After Rosalía stepped in for a bilingual remix of “Blinding Lights” in 2020, The Weeknd returned the favor a year later on this lead single from Motomami – though Abel had to sing in Spanish. (He acquits himself rather well.) “La Fama,” a groovy bachata, was the first of many songs on the album to grapple with the emptiness and instability of fame, comparing it to a lover that you can never marry. With The Weeknd at the height of his popularity and a Director X-helmed video starring Rosalía as a murderous nightclub performer, the song became a #94 smash on the Billboard Hot 100, topping Latin radio and earning a Latin Grammy nomination for Record of the Year. Best bit: “Es mala amante la fama, no va a quererte de verdad” ATRL says…: “I hated this song when it came out but it suddenly hits differently,” @Katamari admitted. “The instrumental is the best part of the song tbh. The Weeknd was unneeded.” @Rev8 was also “kind of disappointed when this came out” but it “grew on me, of course.” @Ewan Chaos was “obsessed with her tacking The Weeknd, at his peak, to a single and then making him sing in Spanish.” @cockatoo thought “The Weeknd's squeaky falsetto drags this down. Shame because I really like the song other than him.”
Virgos Groove Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Church Girl being the worst song on Rennie speaks to just how good of an album it is.
