We probably get a lot of deja vu with other pop ballads, but In My Arms is a decent song even if it sounds similar. 78/100.

Coldplay – Viva la Vida
It stands under the shadow of The Scientist, but I believe it is superior, due to quick pace, orchestral background, and overall greatness, even when pitted against the best of modern pop. 100 2021 review: Okay, I get it, it gets a bit old as well, especially with Scientist's lingering theme getting more and more … Continue reading Coldplay – Viva la Vida
Elements – Lindsey Stirling
Water. Earth. Air. Fire. The music industry was a mostly safe place, until Lindsey attacked. I will admit, Elements doesn't show the four "themes" that you would expect, nevertheless, the violin works fantastic with the dubstep, to prove that Lindsey is a fantastic musician. Original Rating: 99. 9/2021 re-review: Unfortunately, the electronic element is more … Continue reading Elements – Lindsey Stirling
Fleurie – Hurts Like Hell
Touching and bitter, Fluerie delivers a decent ballad that stands out from the pop crowd. 88/100. Oh, tough crowd, you're still here from Arena? Are you expecting me to comment on how the composer of this song might have a perfectly fitting message for "losing" against Lindsey? That doesn't make sense. The two songs' … Continue reading Fleurie – Hurts Like Hell
Lindsey Stirling – The Arena
It takes a few listen to get into, but The Arena is fast, powerful, and extraordinarily well composed. It bounces around in my top 10, but I am confident that it will stay there for quite some time. 100/100. This song's mash-up with Heathens is also excellent, but the "message" delivered is contradictory, which hurts … Continue reading Lindsey Stirling – The Arena
Lord Of The Lost – See You Soon
Though the background is simple, the use of raw voice is admirable, along with the decent melody. 90/100.
Christina Aguilera – Beautiful
It's a bit repetitive, but it's not a bad pop hit. 78/100.
The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey – Closer
Extremely well known, yet still unique in its own way, Closer cleverly uses production techniques and chord theory in order to craft a decent pop song. 86/100.
Dimrain47 – At the Speed of Light
Original review (2018): Though it starts off a bit strange, soon enough the sci-fi sounds come in, no doubt impressing even the most anti-EDM people. Indeed, the title is very fitting with the quickness of the song. Truly well made, 90. 11/2021 re-review: Alright, A- was probably a bit high. The only unique part I'm … Continue reading Dimrain47 – At the Speed of Light
Dear Happy || dodie feat. Thomas Sanders
very calm and nice, Dodie sings another relaxing hit. Though, I will note it sounds (lazily?) similar to The things We Used to Share also by Thomas. 90/100.
