So before I begin with comments, I just want to say that you all actually slayed this round so hard… like too hard. So I decided that no one will be getting the boot this round yasssssssss!
Now onto comments, but also you’re all getting comments!
…. I’m in love with this. I really am. It’s so gorgeous…. And honestly? It’s perfect. I’m obsessed. This is like the 3rd Kelela song I have ever heard and I think it might be my favorite? Yeah. I need to get into her discography asap yasss! But yeah! Great job this round!
I think you’re brave for sending a song by a male for the first round… especially a rapper since male rap doesn’t really bode well here? You also didn’t think I would like this… So yass risk tasker! But I actually like this! I love the production a lot… it’s so gorg. Like give this beat to an alt r&b girl and you’ll get magic methinks! But yeah! I like this! I don’t think I’ll listen to this outside of this though.
So at first I assumed this would be too big brained for me to get… and it is but I still get it! This is actually so good?? And very ahead of its time! I love the angelic vocals against the club beat.. I also love the chorus?? Like the little piano is so gorg… yeah. The only negative thing about this is that it builds but doesn’t necessarily deliver in the end, if that makes sense. But overall, I didn’t really mind it that much but yasss!
#JonMcGillis - “Peppers And Onions” by Tierra Whack
I…. love this. I absolutely love how unique this sounds… It's homemade in the best way possible. It’s so fun. It reminds me of playing jump rope with my friends in elementary school.. And like you necessarily remember what they look like anymore but you;ll forget them in a way, if you get what I mean? Anyways, I love the message of the song! And “I try to reach to the sun but gum’s stuck to my shoes” is an incredibly genius. I really can’t believe this is the first Tierra Whack song I’ve heard? I mean, I knew she existed but I never really listened to her… it’s time to change that!
Ugh. I’m obsessed with this… I’ve only heard a couple of their songs but I’ve liked them all! “U Wanna Dance?” is probably my fave by them? But this might beat it… I love the 2000s futuristic pop punk muted pink pantheress sound…. I know I just said words there but you get it… And when the song picks up??? I ascend everytime. Yeah. YEAH. It’s a bop! It’s a hit!
#Absol - “Look @ That (Remix)” - Kari Faux, Yung Baby Tate
YASSSSSSSSS this is so good! I’ve only heard Kari through her various features but she eats and this is no different! This slays and Tate just elevates it! I love her so much… yeah. I really like this!
Now this is a timeless classic! No like this is a genuine hit and like we deserved to see Tyra Banks dominate the charts ! And Shandi eating the music video up is so good.. Yeah, very iconic. Bop!
Remember when you said you were trolling? Yeah… What happened to that??? I wasn’t prepared for this 2004 serve like…. I’ve also literally never heard of her before now??? But I’m glad you’ve introduced me to her yasss! This slaps. Yeah.
Oh?? This is very 2019 but I can tell it aged gracefully because it still hits today yasss! I didn’t really know what to expect going into this but this is gorg! It feels like something you’d hear on, like, The CW or something but in a good way! Bop methinks!
Okay… I desperately need to get into Aaliyah’s discography because this is such a serve… I can’t… and I’m pretty sure this is my first time hearing this?? I know… I’m awful. But it’s literally amazing. I don’t know a better song….
Now onto the placements….
MrBird…. purplebb4… PennyTrationStan…. and Mrkk… you are all…
