JonMcGillis - I had a feeling this might be a theme up your alley, and you knocked it out the park. It does kind of change into shouty towards the end but enough of the song is quiet for me to not really mind. And I may be a little biased with D’Angelo.
Currents - My issue was kind of that I didn’t really respond to this song. It felt kind of like a thrown together idea of a song that she went ahead and recorded and so it ended up coming across flat to me.
CoolblueP123 - I think Lana was a smart choice to go for this kind of category, but I think “American” or something would have worked better for her ballads ( I’m also partial to Diet Mtn Dew myself). And it started to drag a bit to me in the back half of the song.
FromAWindow - Another really smart choice in Amaarae! I think it automatically stood out in the crowd because it was a bit faster paced, and of course it’s a great song. Gorgeous chorus and the breathy part she does is *chef's kiss*
MISSImogen - What an interesting song. It really locked in for me after the first chorus, and just kept building and building. I enjoy a song that can take you on a journey, and by the end of the song it was like being swept up in a tornado of emotion.
camell22 - I think you had the right idea with Billie, another really smart person for a category like this. I just was kind of bored unfortunately. She can do a devastating ballad (What Was I Made For?, when the party's over, etc) and I think that would’ve worked better for you.
So with all that said, the winner of this round is…
