It's just hard to really ingrain them in your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subomie Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Motomami re-release is kind of weak, I keep Despecha and Aislamiento. The main album is impeccable tho. Top 30 all round! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 11, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 11, 2023 CALLAÍTA with Tainy Average score: 6.52 High score: 10 (@Virgos Groove, @V3$$3L.) Low score: 3 (@jacklovesyou1, @cockatoo, @Achilles.) Affixed to the end of Un Verano Sin Ti for no apparent reason is this loosie single released fully three years and two albums prior. Produced by Tainy – who samples one of his earliest works, Zion’s “Alócate,” at the end – “Callaíta” is about a girl who is quiet in the streets and a freak in the sheets. It reached #52 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped Latin radio in 2019, an affirmation of Bad Bunny’s ascendance following his X 100pre breakthrough. Best bit: “Si hay sol, hay playa, si hay playa, hay alcohol/Si hay alcohol, hay sexo, si es contigo, mejor” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main album is impeccable tho. Top 30 all round! I mean, we basically only got a few new real songs amid a remix, a live rendition and some half-formed tracks, so it was definitely underwhelming. But I do think "La Kilié" is a keeper. And I agree with @madonnas that it would have been higher if it was on the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 11, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 11, 2023 AISLAMIENTO Average score: 6.55 High score: 10 (@305) Low score: 1 (@creativity.) Dodging paparazzi in a hoodie and sunglasses and struggling to keep up the façade of celebrity, Rosalía feels cut off from the world on this bonus track from the Motomami + rerelease, wondering whether she is truly happy anymore. With its machine-gun drum machine beat and the haunting chants of a choir, “Aislamiento” has a foreboding beauty that recalls Kate Bush. (“Cloudbusting,” anyone?)

That was a classic, that was a classic. But this is weirder! Because there are two previous albums "Callaíta" could have ended up on and didn't.

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 11, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 11, 2023 SNOW ON THE BEACH ft. Lana Del Rey Average score: 6.57 High score: 10 (@brokee, @State of Grace., @creativity., @Ace Reject) Low score: 1 (@madonnas) There is nothing Taylor loves like falling in love, that magical moment of two souls connecting, which she compares to the surreal quality of “Snow on the Beach” in this ethereal Midnights cut. Debuting at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 following the album’s release, it technically gave Lana Del Rey her biggest chart hit ever, though she is effectively relegated to a background vocalist providing harmonies. Perhaps in response to criticism of Taylor’s long history of doing this to other female artists, she subsequently included a “More Lana Del Rey” version with a whole solo LDR verse on Midnights (The Til Dawn Edition). Best bit: Taylor almost delving into hashtag rap with her “But your eyes are flying saucers from another planet/Now I'm all for you like Janet” couplet ATRL says…: “This song makes my skin crawl,” @madonnas moaned. @Rev8 found it “a bit underwhelming at first,” but it “grew on me,” he said. “Personally, it's always like that with Tay and Lana.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
