Summer’s Music Taste Round 2 RESULTS

Jan 1, 2021 by CruelSummer
Hey yall! Thank you so much for 14 AMAZING submissions, I was actually so impressed with most of these songs. It is time for the first elimination of the season, so here are the results..

1. tbrown_47 / Pure Love / Hayley Williams / I haven’t ever heard this song before you posted it. Paramore used to be my favorite artist when I was like 14, but I haven’t been SUPER into Hayley’s solo career. This song was such an amazing surprise because I LOVE IT! It feels so groovy and I was hooked right away. I don’t know why but it’s even giving me a little Janelle Monáe, who is another artist I love. I am definitely going to need to listen to the rest of Petals for Armor now, thank you Tim! Fave Lyric: “I give a little, you give a little, we a get a little sentimental”

2. Becksta20 / Invisible String / Taylor Swift / Becks you have done it again with your amazing taste for Taylor Swift songs but that is not a surprise to me at all. For a long time this was my favorite song on folklore so this was a REALLY close fight for first between you and Tim. I love this song because I really imagine it to be about Taylor’s relationship with Joe and I love the idea of their lives/love always being connected by this “invisible string” because I’m a sucker for love stories! There is beautiful imagery in the song and of course Taylor sounds phenomenal, I have no critiques at all for this song! Fave lyric: “bold was the waitress on our three year trip getting lunch down by the lakes, she said I looked like an American singer”

3. David2560 / Physical / Dua Lipa / Dua is actually probably my favorite artist next to Taylor, so this was a great choice David! I have been a huge fan of Dua Lipa since her debut album and I LOVE Future Nostalgia as an Album. Physical is a really simple song but it is so fun. The entire album always gets me dancing and Physical is no different. I love the 80’s vibe that it gives and the homage to Olivia Newton John as well, so great choice!! Fave lyric: “Adrenaline keeps on rushing in, love the simulation we’re dreaming in”

4. franzella / Heather / Conan Gray / Kid Krow is one of my favorite albums of the year, so I was really excited to see one of these songs submitted. I love the sound of Conan’s voice and this song is so relatable! I think we have all experienced a “Heather” and it brings me back to high school lol <3 This is a great song by an amazing artist but not as good as some of the other submissions this week.

5. Lynn12 / Save Your Tears / The Weeknd / I have never heard this song before, but it was another REALLY pleasant surprise! My first thought was that it reminded me of a Post Malone song. Maybe Circles? I am not the biggest fan of The Weeknd especially in the last few years but this song convinced me to give After Hours a listen. The lyrics in this song didn’t stick out to me very much but overall I just really liked how it sounded!

6. joshgillespie / Champagne Problems / Taylor Swift / Exciting to see another Taylor song! It is good but at times I find it can be forgettable compared to the rest of evermore. If you submit this a few weeks ago you may have been a lot lower today, but it’s growing on me with every listen. I love the writing though and of course, the bridge <3

7. Blahblahblahblah / Savage Remix (feat Beyoncé) / Meg Thee Stallion / Savage is a really interesting choice for me... I am not the biggest fan of it but I think because of all the TikToks and viral videos it actually grew on me? And I think Beyoncé is a great choice for a feature as well and I can sometimes be picky about features. Not my favorite choice but not bad at all!

8. crazybone5000 / Levitating (feat. DaBaby) / Dua Lipa / Alfie!!! Levitating had huuuuge potential to win this week. It is one of my favorite songs of the year and maybe my favorite song on Future Nostalgia. However... I HATE when my favorite songs get unnecessary features! Specifically when it is a pop song that gets a rap feature just for radio plays. I think it’s a bit of a cash grab and an appeal to mainstream even more and it just bugs me, and to me this is the inferior version of Levitating. Sorry :(

9. kingjames13 / Fake Love / Merkules & Evil Ebenezer / These are two artists I’ve actually never even heard of before. However, I actually really like this song! I don’t dislike rap but I am not a huge fan of it either I guess. However, this was so chill and I honestly was feeling myself when I was listening. It got a little repetitive and if not for that I would’ve probably put this a little higher but I did like it.

10. Chels052_ / Hurts Sometimes / SLANDER & Fairlane / These are also all new artists to me! I was pretty into this song too. The chorus is definitely my favorite part. It was a little EDM-ish I guess especially toward the end and that’s a genre I am usually not into very much but this is not a bad song by any means.

11. kingjames13 / Really Counts / Snow Tha Product / This is your second submission of the day, and it is not as good as your first one but I do like it! So first off, congratulations on being saved Cody because you have come back from your bottom placement round 1! Like I said I am not the biggest rap fan but this one was good, and I’m planning on listening to more of her because she’s seems really talented from this song at least.

12. kmartt / Save Myself / Ashe / I still don’t know if I like this song or not lol. My first impression, I thought this song would be higher up. However, idk.. something about it just wasn’t hitting. I think the chorus let me down a bit. And every time I listen I change my mind a little lol, but sadly it isn’t my favorite!

13. Ciurrra / Be Kind / Marshmello & Halsey / Halsey is actually an artist I really like, but this song is just not it for me at all :/ I don’t hate it but I don’t likeit if I’m honest. I do think it’s repetitive and I don’t think she sounds as good as she usually does either unfortunately.

14. Heavenlee / Overwhelmed / Royal and the Serpent / Noelle, I hate to say this to you but because you are my friend I’m being honest. I really didn’t like this song much at all :( The first 10 seconds had me interested, but then the chorus just was not my type of thing. I found it annoying actually and I listened a few times but it was not improving. I do love the lyrics actually and appreciate the song for that as I am someone who deals with a lot of anxiety as well but sadly Noelle... and I hate to say this... you are the first person eliminated (robbed) from Summer’s Music Taste 😭 We hope to see you at the reunion where there will be a live concert performed for all of our fallen contestants <3

I decided that I wanted to start including my own favorite song for the themes, so that you guys could see some of my music taste as well. This also may be useful in later themes ;D For my favorite song of 2020, it was sooo difficult to choose just one, but since this song came out I have NOT been able to stop listening. I think they sound amazing together and this is a rare case where I think a feature made an amazing song even more amazing!

So now it is to say goodbye to Noelle, and I will see you all in the morning for the next round. Good luck!! Here is a hint for round three..
