I seem to be having a good run with these blogs :) Now it's time for a little controversial opinion. If you asked the general public who the hottest rising artist for this year was, I can bet you TONS of people would say Lizzo. But besides Good as Hell, her music didn't really connect with me. However, someone came outta nowhere this year and basically blew me away with all her discography. So, coming in at #8.....

Freaking Me Out by Ava Max
Man I love Ava. SO. MUCH. Sweet but Psycho, So Am I, Torn, just honestly all her singles are dope. But this topped it. It has such a mysterious and spooky vibe to it which perfectly fits the meaning of the song, which is about falling in love with someone so much that it scares you, and that you can't handle how much it's rising at all. It's unknown territory. People have been calling her the new Lady Gaga, yeah nah not me. She's the first damn Ava Max. Her voice is so distinguished especially in this song, as she goes from being more silent to being more vocal and audibly frightened, and plus her harmonies in the chorus gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it. Heck, this whole song gave me goosebumps man! So Ava, glad you could make it, hope to see more of your work <3
