Welcome to yet another round! We're halfway through the rounds, and it's getting funnier, that's for sure. I kinda feel sorry eliminating albums now though.
Once again, one song per album and once again an album leaves the game, based on the average rankings of today's round and the previous round too! (so round 4 in this case)
_______________________________________________________________
Let's go revealing this round's competing songs!
(All of the chosen songs were randomized and won't be repeated again in the game unless an album has used all its songs)
💿 01) AMAARAE - Disguise / FOUNTAIN BABY
◼ The way she plays with her voice still having beautiful vocals is just incredible, I don't know if this is her first project or if she had previous records or EPs but I just know she has an insane talent and I better see her name on bigger stages, with more listeners and more fame because THE QUALITY IS INSANE. This was so fucking good I'm speechless. SHE KEEPS ON SERVING LIKE IT'S NOTHING HARD.
💿 02) SUDAN ARCHIVES - Copycat (Broken Notions) / NATURAL BROWN PROM QUEEN
◼ I love how more and more experimental this record is becoming even if I'm listening to it in this random order but it's so good. This wasn't my favorite of the ones I've heard and I fear this could get a low placement tonight I didn't really vibe with it but its sound is so particular and that makes me curious about what's next. I know for sure I could never guess it.
💿 03) KALI UCHIS - I Wish You Roses / RED MOON IN VENUS
◼ Alright this might've been my fave so far off the record. Lovely lyrics and idk the melody sounded better than usual for some reason. It was really cute and fun. R&B is clearly her thing and it's also clearly not my fave but I can make myself appreciate it more when it's done so well. So yassss. I wish you safety I guess.
💿 04) CHAPPELL ROAN - Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl / THE RISE AND FALL OF A MIDWEST PRINCESS
◼ She really loves long titles for stuff. I mean she's talented af. She's been able to slay with ballads and now with those bangers that take this album on a completely different direction. The chorus is instantaneously stuck in your brain after you listen to it. I've been vibing a lot with this record and this is yet another amazing piece.
💿 05) HILARY DUFF - Danger / DIGNITY
◼ The fact this song has the same main chord as the previous song I just heard (by Chappell Roan), and the fact this is also a huge banger makes this sound like the Side B of the song LMFAOOOOO this sounds so good!! A bit monotone but it's alright. Cute sound and that's what I've been vibing with for a while. I'll be surprised when she drops a random gorgeous ballad lolll
💿 06) MELANIE MARTINEZ - FAERIE SOIRÉE / PORTALS
◼ Eek, could this be Melanie's first miss in the album? I just didn't vibe with this groovy beat at all, the division of the song is not even as appealing as other examples I've heard before. I like her style and how she's trying to express herself but it was difficult to get through this track. A bit sad since I've been living for these songs until today. I'm still excited for what comes next.
💿 07) CARLY RAE JEPSEN - When I Needed You / EMOTION
◼ Ehhh I won't lie this sounded cute and had some great parts. Still I don't know how anyone could listen to this and say this is a majestic record. I still don't get the appeal and we're getting through more songs now and I'm feeling suspicious. This is some good pop but where is the "pop perfection" people have been talking about in posts and social media? I NEED MORE MISS JEPSEN. MORE!!!!!!!!!
💿 08) FLORENCE + THE MACHINE - Never Let Me Go / CEREMONIALS
◼ Really cute, Florence really said "let me show my vocal skills to the maximum in every single track at every single second" and I'm good with it. This song doesn't come nearly close to what "Shake It Out" was, but it's fine! Probably the most generic-sounding song of the record so far but also not the worst so it's a good thing. Not disappointed :)
💿 09) KESHA - Old Flames (Can't Hold A Candle To You) (with Dolly Parton) / RAINBOW
◼ LORD THESE VOCALS. What a gorgeous duo!!! This song sounds like it could've been used for proms or any party during a slow dance back in the 80s or smth. Wait let me check if this is a cover because it really sounds like one. IT IS A COVER LMFAOOOOOOO by Dolly HERSELF and it's from 1980 so I got the decade right too. Well this is a beautiful cover LMFAO I really loved it. This record has been going anywhere and I'm good with it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
9th | CARLY RAE JEPSEN Emotion 8.0
This means Carly Rae Jepsen's "Emotion" is our fourth eliminated album. I really tried, I really REALLY tried to give this album the chance to prove to me that it deserves all the praise it received. People have been massively confirming this is her best record by far, so I can't even imagine what the rest sounds like.
BUT. I know there's some gold in this pot and rejoin rounds will be the chance to discover it. I really don't wanna judge this record after listening to 29.4% of it, but it's hard, it is.
That's all for now see ya next round, maybe tomorrow, maybe in 100 years. Who knows?
So we lose to a song that when I submitted it to tsc you said:
21) Chappell Roan - honestly...kinda basic but idk i like her style she relies a lot on her looks and she kinda looks like a Melanie martinez that took a different direction. still this sounded nice
