01) Mabel - 'Let Them Know'
Oh wow, I saw this was released but I hadn't listened until now... and damn, I'm ENJOYING this. That chorus is so cool, that "LET THEM KNOW!" is kinda unpredictable but so good. And then these lyrics?? We love a good sass.
02) Reiyo - 'November'
I really like this sound. It's smooth, minimal, she has a nice deep voice... But I do feel like it's lacking a LITTLE bit of umph, maybe a switch/change in the song itself.
03) Emilie Adams - 'Monogamy'
Damn, we have a strong start this TSC! The song was interesting from the beginning but the chorus is DEFINITELY the punch that I enjoyed and needed. I have a feeling I'll love this one more with each listen.
04) Tinashe - 'Pasadena (ft. Buddy)'
I was actually thinking of submitting this, but I ultimately went for my current pick. Tinashe really surprised me with this one! I wasn't sure with her 2019 album but this one impressed me on first listen, I loved the sound and I loved the visuals. She's so amazing and underrated it HURTS.
05) Yves Tumor - 'Gospel For A New Century'
I really hate these visuals LOL, but the song itself is actually interesting, I didn't mind it at all, it gave me old-school Kanye vibes (in a good way!). I'll need to listen to this without the video though.
06) RALPH - 'Love Potion'
This is cute! I actually liked its funky start, but then the chorus I feel like was a bit too mellow... I'll need to relisten but I do like this overall.
07) Brave Girls - 'Chi Mat Ba Ram'
Alright, we're getting into k-pop zone... Yeah, not impressed with this one. VERY very generic, doesn't grab me.
08) Stray Kids - 'God Menu (神메뉴)'
I hate it when the k-pop men do better than the girls LMFAO... I like the beat here, but honestly the pre-chorus AND chorus don't do it for me... The verses are fire though.
09) Omar Apollo - 'So Good'
I'm afraid this borders on the type of disco I'm not really into... His enunciation is also so BAD, did Ariana influence you boy?! But honestly overall, this may grow on me, I like the postchorus.
10) Jessie J - 'I Want Love'
QUEEN! That hook is everything, I love this as much as I did on first listen. Like Tinashe, her previous album was REALLY underwhelming, but she's coming back with a bang. And she deserves it, mom.
11) Abigail Barlow - 'Heartbreak Hotel'
This sounds very... American white pop girl LOL, like a girl who just came out of disney maybe. I feel like the production is a bit lacking, like it has so much potential but overall the song's a bit juvenile?
12) Peking Duk - 'Chemicals'
Why does this remind me a bit of MØ LMAO. I actually don't mind this though, I like the overall production.
13) Bree Runway - 'All Night'
An artist I've heard about but hadn't gotten to yet! For some reason the hook sounds familiar? But yeah, this is cute. It might have to grow on me though.
14) Bappi Lahiri & Shreya Ghoshal - 'Ooh La La Tu Hai Meri Fantasy Full Song'
NOT the bollywood entry... but yeah uh.. This is definitely not my style. I hate this vocal style sksk
15) Bebe Rexha - 'Sacrifice'
Oh B O P. I can't believe this kinda flopped... This deserves to become a massive summer hit. Perfect house/club bop.
#MAKEITHAPPEN
16) Lamp - '1998'
Didn't expect a japanese entry! This song though... Definitely not my style. It's long and kinda bordering on the indie/jazz-ish style.
17) Est-Her - 'Feel You There'
I actually did not expect to like this at all... but I enjoyed it! I really loved that chorus, it's beautiful and cinematic... I DEFINITELY don't understand what he's singing 90% of the time though.
18) seeyousoon - 'Faster Please'
Enjoyed this one quite a bit honestly. I did not expect this kind of music/style today but they kinda did their thing. I didn't expect so many people to be singing/rapping in this though LOL, props to that!
19) AWA - '24/7'
Interesting! This was really cute, I LOOOOOVED that chorus. Very infectious. I think it's absolutely what makes the song! I like her voice and visuals a lot too...
20) Shortparis - 'Moscow Speaking (Говорит Москва)'
Huh, I'm torn on this. Vocally I definitely wasn't into it, I wasn't impressed on that aspect, but the production itself is intriguing and had some cool parts. As a whole, I'm not sure about this though. I don't like its... chauvinist vibe either?
21) The Happy Fits - 'Hold Me Down'
Now THIS is the type of rock I wish I heard more of last week. It's more lively and fun, not monotonous and typical. I don't care about these boys' vibe but the song itself is GOOD.
22) Kevin Abstract - 'Miserable America'
Oh wow, a more social/conscious hip hop song! Nice, I really enjoyed this, this is DEFINITELY my style. Maybe I should check BROCKHAMPTON out finally.. I loved the message here btw.
23) Pink Fantasy - 'Poison'
Hmm I didn't expect a more rock-edge k-pop song, even metal LOL. This one is not bad, the chorus gives me 2000s vibes which I like.
24) 2far2jump - 'The Fall'
This one isn't bad at all. I liked the chorus for sure, but overall it'll need another listen.
25) Lydmor - 'If You Want Capacity'
Oh I can already see how some of y'all will agree with her on "do I bore you?" just to be edgy... But this one is definitely a vibe! I enjoyed the production and the vocal effects in the bridge too!!
26) Pinguini Tattici Nucleari - 'Ridere'
There always has to be a token italian song huh. Anyway, this song was quite generic and actually cringy to me, and also penguins are overrated.
27) Patrisha - 'Patrisha bija šeit (ft. Su$hi Takeøut, rolands če)'
LMAOOOOO I can't, I'm enjoying this one too much. This is so playful but the song itself is also enjoyable?! Patrisha bija seit seit seit seit indeed. The first rapper was kinda whack tho.
28) Mysie - 'Seven Nights'
This one grew on me as it was playing!! This is actually really groovy and sweet, there's something about it that really made me enjoy it. I even thought it was kinda short, although it was a normal length!
29) Sickotoy x MARUV - 'Call 911'
It does incorporate those typical 2020's european house/club elements, but this one has something extra to it. I REALLY did enjoy her vocal delivery too, she definitely upped the song. The chorus is infectious. I didn't expect that bridge though LMAO
