The opening flute is very cool, but it is ruined by a mostly uninspired guilty pleasure that resembles your average pop song. Unlike the Eurovision winner Only Teardrops, it fails to utilize the flute to maintain a powerful theme, nor does it use the excellent unique dream beats (instead resorting to 1-and-2-and-1-and-2-and..., turning into an … Continue reading Cry Wolf – Bebe Rexha
Month: November 2018
REOL – No title
Listening to this song too much gets a bit repetitive, but overall this song is quite enjoyable. 84/100.
Owl City – Lucid Dream
It uses a little more autotune than I like, but in the end it's decent. 80/100.
Lady Gaga – MANiCURE
It's catchy and the only con is her uncreative yelling out of "man-cure!" 83/100.
Željko Joksimović – Nije Ljubav Stva
Almost mystical, the song may be about love, it is actually quite bittersweet, and its prowess solidifies its 3rd place positioning. If I didn't know better, I'd have thought this was one of the winners. 90/100.
Waterflame – Electroman Adventures
Though it relies heavily on the four chord progression that I preach often about, this song is nevertheless exciting, and presents a strong electronic song and adventure. 80/100.
Gavin James – Nervous
Calm and well sung, despite its four chord progression nature, Nervous contradicts its title as Gavin confidently delivers decently. However, I'm keeping it below 81 because it sounds too similar to other love songs. 80/100.
Black Violin – “A Flat”
First rating (2018): Uber cool, this instrumental displays what Hip Hop *should* be, contrasting against its current state in reality. 100. 3/28/2021: Two years after posting, I had considered gutting the song due to the rareness with how I listen to it. However, it still stands relatively strong with its attractive beat and melody ideas … Continue reading Black Violin – “A Flat”
Breathe (produced by CircusP)
A solid cover overall. 85/100.
Feeder – Eskimo
Calm and well done, this is among the best songs I've heard under 250,000 views. 88/100.
