tournament 🩸 ATRL's Song Contest 🩸 Winner revealed (pg.769)

[Staryu]

Björk - Atopos - Another song with very interesting production, not a very pleasant listen, but not many Bjork songs are, it was almost like listening to someone bash something with a hammer

[Staryu]

Alice Glass - BABY TEETH - My demon winner

[Staryu]

aespa - Illusion - A bop  I'm sure this will do well here

 

[Staryu]

Corinne Bailey Rae - New York Transit Queen - What an interesting side of Corinne I've never heard before  it was definitely a banger, very noisy, not sure I loved it compared to her usual sound but yeah, I like how short it is

Rooting for the Kelsea and Kristinia senders. The latter one especially takes me back

About to start

[smholiv]

 danny l harle - blue angel (feat. clairo)

this is sort of a random droplet to me honestly. and also this reminded me that I think my days of being a mega fan are kind of over as she gets boygenius-ified in front of my eyes (they are the REAL demons)

 

this song has the usual dynamic Danny production I know and love, he is a genius, but admittedly it needed a different vocalist because she kind of fades into the background. I do think this has a very pretty, wintery, vibe though which is nice

[smholiv]

 yukika - lovemonth

there's so many layers to her music and everything I've heard has been so beautiful. this has a very catchy, feel-good chorus, and the synths have an added level of sparkle to them. really good!!

[smholiv]

 hannah diamond - every night

truly wild how much she improved  this is simple and fun, kind of in a stupid way. the production is the obvious highlight, her parts are umm... whole thing is kinda kindergarten-core I guess, but semi cute

[smholiv]

 weyes blood - god turn me into a flower

(this angel emoji is maybe less annoying idk)

 

haven't heard from her in so long... this is stunning to me honestly. easy highlight, truly cinematic, one of those songs where you get so wrapped up in it that it feels like its a part of you

[smholiv]

 muna - silk chiffon (feat. voldemort)

muna's parts are fun, I like the chorus, its very breezy rollerblading in LA. I've grown out of liking this, and its due in large part to that unbearable feature, but I won't pan or anything... just not as into this as I want to be

[smholiv]

 kelsea ballerini - heartfirst

when I heard this album last year it was a complete surprise to me, I wasn't expecting it to be so fun~ fruity nailed it, this captures fearless-era perfectly. such an unexpected little song, I feel so nostalgic for it even though its recent, I like it a lot!

[smholiv]

 kiss of life - sugarcoat

EASIEST TWELVE EVER! one of my top 5 kpop songs of the year, she nailed this sound, more R&B/pop crossover in mainstream kpop please!!!

[smholiv]

 snoh aelegra - I want you around

not bad! this is pretty smooth and nice, slightly jazzy in her delivery which makes it stand out. I liked it, should be in the middle - fun discovery for me ty

[smholiv]

 mxmtoon - haze

this is nice, chorus was pretty

[smholiv]

 tripleS - cherry talk

loona what are you doing on the floor

 

production is so cool and has so many layers and little elements to get into. I love the way the chorus feels super glittery yet cluttered, its an interesting contrast. another classic from them, loved it~

[smholiv]

switching over

[smholiv]

 chrissy chlapecka - alpha

I love how metallic this sounds. it also reminds me of the late 2000s era of dark pop in a good way. I think this is the best song of hers I've heard, bopping!

[smholiv]

 kimbra - madhouse

interesting I guess. lots going on, hope she had fun

[smholiv]

 hyra - rem (no sleep)

this is cool, reminds me of the early '10s, feels a bit like a darker ava song I guess? I am definitely bopping

[smholiv]

 kristina debarge - powerless

if this production was updated or remastered I'd be very interested tbh...otherwise i'm thinking i'm not the audience for this

[smholiv]

 indigo de souza - kill me

alskjdf this is definitely a huge risk, very cool of you to send it. this was my 2021 aoty so naturally I love everything from it. the subject matter and style just speaks to me idk. the screaming bits are an acquired taste but I think it makes sense, this will naturally be high from me
