01) Dua Lipa - fuck off with this phoned in shit from a pop star who thought she could get away with this
02) Dakh Daughters -
03) Miss Madeline - this pretty girl party sounds very superficial
04) Álvaro de Luna - lol every time I see his name I know I'm in for something satisfying (albeit not groundbreaking). I liked when he went the straight up catchy route rather than like trying his hand at something slower, which never got quite there
05) Fireboy DML & Asake - sounds good, in a way where I almost forgot it was on for a sec. GOOD VIBES ONLY
06) chlothegod - o so she's a special snowflake, yes your bad indeed
07) MØ - this girl has not made anything great in what it feels like years!!! She OWNED 2014 or whenever lean on was. With this, kinda like Dua's, it sounds phoned in to me, like if she wanted this bewitched, spiritual, werewolfish sound to the song she could've played it less safe
08) LIGHTSUM - chaotic, kinda what I expected from the genre last year, as now it's going into some smoother r&b vibe? I like this better
09) Jean Deaux - it has that portugal the man feel but there's just something about this that I don't like?? Maybe because it sounds like the same beat repeated over and over again and she never grabbed me
10) Scheana Marie - ages like wine every time
11) The Harmonious Piranha Plants of Super Mario Bros. Wonder - ngl one of the better compositions I've heard in this contest so far
12) Ana Mena - finally we have a mother who can show us REAL music, acting like she invented beat drops, women having champagne in limos, dance breaks, etc, never saw one until today
13) Ayumi Hamasaki - tired af of these long videos, but those butterfly glasses are c*nt! Ummm the song is very frantic, giving me teen titans energy
14) Kelly Clarkson - tired of these lazy entries but this song is that cute anti-men energy that works so well in music. Kelly does it better when she's angrier but at least she's singing
15) judith - for every 5 minute song there's a 2 minute one that resets me. This sounds cool but I also did sit here like what did I listen to? Something mid for 2 minutes I don't know you think it would do more with that time
16) Amaarae - obsessed with her barely moving her lips in the music video lmao her face is almost giving nothing! I suppose it's not the worst track from its genre but still leaves me with less to chew on
17) Saint Motel - I appreciate something with that big band feel behind it, with a breakdown. The video takes place in a room but the song still feels grand and full
18) Tinashe - not a still video from her LOL not gonna lie I just… got nothing from this despite that photo of her
19) SOOJIN - cute I did happen to hear this earlier. I do stan music with breakdowns but the chorus feels pretty short
20) Butcher Babies - lol sounds like if Britney tried screamo
21) Lucky Daye - I think all of the falsetto (and then the whining too) is giving me a headache like can he do some lower notes please
22) IZARO - cool beat, I totally forgot about her vocals (maybe a bad thing) but the whole thing made me in sort of a trance, or it was the benadryl
23) LaLa Hsu - is this featuring THEE brandy? None of those 3 women in the video are her but it does have that recognizable sound from her… and besides that it sounds very pristine and comes together really well
24) TAICHU, rusowsky - look at all these ant mans serving it! I don't know who she is anyways they are so distracting
