Ewan Chaos Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Oh some of the worst Olivia songs being snatched so early (alongside Boygenius) PERIOD. Β Girl not the Vacaville ad Β I don't live near there but one of my defining young adult moments was hotboxing a car for the first time and going to the Dennys there and trying not to cry of laughter while ordering food. Anyway on Zach, definitely glad the Lumineers song was the first collab song of his to be out. Β Kinda shocked Emily I'm Sorry left so early. Not mad though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator Ace Reject Posted April 29 ATRL Moderator Share Posted April 29 21 hours ago, supaspaz said: Β EMILY I'M SORRY Β Average: 6.06 High Score: 10 (@Born to Run) Low score: 2 (@creativity.) Β Β The first single to exit the rate is this melancholy ballad about the dissipation of a relationship as the narrator loses her sense of self. Released as the joint lead for The Record, with a music video featuring Phoebe Bridgers in her underwear singing at a monster truck rally, βEmily Iβm Sorryβ charted for one week at #25 on the alternative chart. It is likely dedicated to voice actor Emily Bannon, whom Phoebe reportedly dated in 2018 and 2019, first as part of a polycule and then exclusively. Β Best bit: βAnd I can feel myself becoming/Someone only you could wantβ Β ATRL saysβ¦: @Ewan ChaosΒ requested that βsomeone edit that Wendy Williams video where she's saying βDula Peep Iβm sorryβ with Emilyβs name.β @glitch called it βbananis avocadis-core.β I almost choked on my popcorn.

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted April 30 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted April 30 Β HEY DRIVER ft. The War and Treaty Β Average: 6.22 High Score: 10 (@Ewan Chaos) Low score: 1 (@Alldeezy) Β Β Another howl of dissatisfaction with the musicianβs lonely life on the road. Backed by husband-and-wife duo The War and Treaty, Zach Bryan imagines returning home before his whole life passes him by. Β Best bit: βAll the love I've had worth givin'/Was all spent on my songsβ Β ATRL saysβ¦: βI know the Kacey song gets the most praise, and it's great, but this is both the best song on the album and the best collab,β @Ewan Chaos praised. βI just love songs that feel like the group went into a room and had the most flawless one-take jam session. Quite possibly one of my favorite choruses of 2023.β @a_d_22, on the other hand, complained that βall my friends love this damn song but I honestly find it very annoying.β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted April 30 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted April 30 Β AQUAMARIE LUVS ECSTASY Β Average: 6.26 High Score: 9 (@4Real, @Ace Reject) Low score: 2 (@a_d_22) Β Β Amaarae is on her Janet Jackson tip on this hazy seduction from Fountain Baby. Feeling loved up on ecstasy, she spies someone across the club and promises to get them wet, though her soft moans of longing eventually grow monotonous over the Afrobeats-meets-smooth jazz instrumental. Β Best bit: the syntactic syncopation gives lines like βI'm tryna love you like aβ¦fiendβ an extra pop Β ATRL saysβ¦: @a_d_22Β called it the βsame as everything else on this damn album.β @Ewan Chaos compared it unfavorably to βSex, Violence, Suicideβ: βTwo songs prior, she proved she could do a 4+ minute song well.

Β Best bit: the closing line, βTonight Iβm dancinβ for two,β is a beautiful reminder to celebrate those weβve lost, not just mourn them Β ATRL saysβ¦: βNOPE too country,β @AlldeezyΒ cringed, βhate it.β @glitch wasnβt totally certain what he was hearing, but he was certain he didnβt like it: βI can't stand harmonicas (?) in country music.β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Β Β One of six Grammy nominations that Boygenius received this year was Best Alternative Music Performance for this Simon & Garfunkel-interpolating strummer where Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus and Phoebe Bridgers each take a verse recounting an excruciating reunion with an ex. Released as a single last fall, with a surreal music video about a woman and her dog, βCool About Itβ was a moderate hit, reaching #34 on alternative radio and #2 on the adult alternative format. Β Best bit: βTellin' you it's nice to see how good you're doing/Even though we know it isn't trueβ Β ATRL saysβ¦: βWhy am I getting emotional at a boygenius songβ¦β @glitch asked.
