Absol and Minie you were the bottom two of last round and had to submit a song of personal choice to Sing For Your Lives. After listening to both of your songs, we knew this would be an incredibly hard elimination round to judge. You had both submitted songs we really enjoyed so it was rather difficult to pick which we’d liked more. Both of your choices were unique and really showed us what you had! Now onto the results…
Absol - Good Days (SZA)
M: Ohhhh this was such good vibes. I really like SZA and this is one of her best IMO. I was wondering why I hadn’t heard it and I’m seeing now that it was released just a few weeks ago so that makes sense! This is absolutely going on my chill playlist, it’s such a good song to just vibe to and think about life while listening. She has such a smooth and lovely voice as well, this song just feels RIGHT. Great pick!
K: I don’t listen to SZA much and only really ever hear her featured on songs but this was really good!! You definitely have to be in the mood to listen to a song like this because it did feel slightly repetitive and generic pop-ish after a while to me. It is a really good lo-fi summery song I’d blast while driving to the beach. SZA has a great voice and overall I thought it was a good pick!
Minie - No Diggity (Blackstreet ft. Dr. Dre, Queen Pen)
M: This is a great throwback to a mid/late 90s rap era that was so good. All of their styles mesh so well in this song and they all really brought their best. I love the classic production of course, and that hook is definitely iconic. The lyrics are also super fun. The only real downside to this song (and it’s small) is that I’ve heard it so many times that sometimes the hook bores me a bit. BUT it’s still iconic and I do love the rest of the song. Nice pick!
K: Unlike Matt I’ve never listened to this song before but I really loved the vibes. Rap from the 90’s is so fun bop to and this definitely wasn’t just a song that blended in with all the others from this decade. This was a super fun pick and I could see me putting it on my hype playlist. I really like the second verse I’m not sure which one of them that was but I kind of loved everything about this song. It was definitely a great pick and I slightly preferred it more.
The contestant safe with an overall score of 9/10 is...

. Absol! Congratulations you’re moving on to the next round, meaning unfortunately for you Minie, this ends your time here (for now). This was a hard elimination to judge because you both stepped up to the plate tonight, but you just fell slightly short Minie. We really love what you had to offer and are grateful you’ve introduced us to some new music!
