ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 27, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 27, 2023 SHIRT Average score: 7.69 High score: 10 (@a_d_22, @Soda Pop Queen, @brokee, @creativity., @Sanguine) Low score: 2 (@CBC) Two years before its release as the third single from SOS, this Darkchild-produced trap&B jam about a new fling who’s doing too much was already viral. The realm was, of course, TikTok, where a snippet originally posted to Instagram became fodder for a dance challenge that SZA herself eventually participated in. Fans uncertain how to refer to the song began calling it “Shirt,” which SZA later adopted as the actual title. Powered by a Dave Meyers-directed music video, co-starring LaKeith Stanfield as the Clyde to her Bonnie, it would debut last fall at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and climb to #2 on rhythmic radio. Publications including Billboard, NPR, Dazed and The Fader ranked it highly on their year-end lists. Best bit: “Feel the tastе of resentment/Simmеr in my skin” ATRL says…: “That scene in the music video of her firing the gun repeatedly takes me out every time ” @cockatoo laughed.

With an assist from Lizzo on writing and background vocals, it’s the 2004 revival that we didn’t know we needed, putting Machine Gun Kelly and Willow to shame. While “F2F” may not have finished in the top ten of this countdown as it deserved, it gave SZA her first alternative hit, debuting at #3 on the chart from its streaming strength, and earned a mention from NPR as one of the songs of the year. Best bit: that trilling post-chorus synth is a magnificent hook that you’ll be trying to whistle for days ATRL says…: “Yeeeess Avril Lavigne!” @Rev8 cheered. @a_d_22 agreed it’s the “best song on the album.” @madonnas marveled that “it shouldn’t work BUT IT DOES.” How did this Avril reject make it so far?

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 27, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 27, 2023 The president switched it up for his year-end list. "Shirt" is there, "Break My Soul" and "Saoko" stuck around, but "Ojitos Lindos" got swapped out for "Tití Me Preguntó" and "Music For a Sushi Restaurant" is gone.

Soda Pop Queen Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 hmm, Shirt is the only song from this set that I absolutely love. I feel like it should have been as successful as the other SOS singles. Also, F2F is a cute attempt at something rock-y but I don't know if it's putting anyone in the sub-genre to shame, esp. someone like Willow who is more Alternative and Hard Rock than Pop-Punk but anyway... Overall, I don't think this set of songs should've outlasted some of the songs that have been eliminated previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverie Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 2 hours ago, supaspaz said: OJITOS LINDOS ft. Bomba Estéreo Average score: 7.66 High score: 10 (@supaspaz, @305, @brokee, @Reverie, @4Real, @State of Grace., @Norte) Low score: 3 (@Soda Pop Queen) This gorgeous genre mash – put some cumbia horns on a reggaeton beat and swaddle it all in a hazy indie-pop melody! – is the loveliest moment on Un Verano Sin Ti. A duet with the Colombian band Bomba Estéreo, whose singer Liliana Saumet offers a female counterpoint, “Ojitos Lindos” finds Bad Bunny enamored of a woman with eyes so beautiful that he feels reborn gazing into them. Released as the album’s ninth single earlier this year, the music video adapts the pre-chorus (“Ante' de que salga el sol, hunde el acelerador/Aunque vaya sin freno' y pierda el control”), with Benito getting into a car crash after a series of dates and connecting with a puppy in recovery. Best bit: “Bye-bye a los culos, ni me despedí” (yes, Bad Bunny manages to fit an ass reference into even a sweet love song) Tuh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I’m definitely not listening to a Willow album! Maybe I should change the reference to Demi Lovato. Regardless, SZA put them all to shame!

CBC Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 3 hours ago, supaspaz said: DELIRIO DE GRANDEZA Average score: 7.69 High score: 10 (@CBC, @4Real, @kandicha, @Ewan Chaos, @madonnas, @Quicksand, @V3$$3L.) Low score: 4 (@BlackoutZone, @Taemira) This is Rosalía’s “It’s Oh So Quiet” moment. On the otherwise remarkably forward-looking Motomami, she momentarily goes retro with a fairly faithful cover of Justo Betancourt’s 1968 bolero “Delirio de Grandeza,” albeit with a few modernizing twists, including a Soulja Boy sample. A promotional music video follows Rosalía on a camping trip in the woods. Best bit: “Tú sabiendo que mi alma se moría/Con amigos entre copas te reías” ATRL says…: “Enjoying the old timey vibes of this. It feels like it should be accompanied by a black and white video,” @cockatoo figured. @Ewan Chaos marveled that the “sampling is so good ughhhhhhhhhh.” Man, it’s ridiculous I got you so delirious Kiss me through the phonе While I lick you just like licorice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
