The titular track of the album, it's an interesting idea with very small instrumental idea... an indie hit with unique use of harp. Not too shabby... though more listens needed to hear the five star factor rated by others. (B)

Tech N9ne – Face Off (Lyrics) ft. The Rock
Tech N9ne's rapping ability is mediocre at best, especially compare to the powerful hook "gonna take your face off", not to mention The Rock's well made verse. It's unfortunate; the song definitely had potential. (C+)
Beyonce – I was Here
Well yes, you were here. I guess I don't really listen to this song that often. An alright pop ballad. (B-)
Charlie Puth – Light Switch
The official release isn't a let down, and though the production is a bit on the nose, the song is still fine overall. The titular gimmick isn't too shabby. Neat idea. (B)
Dark was the Night – Blind Willie Johnson
The top rated Blues song on RateYourMusic, it's just a bit too slow for me overall. Doesn't seem to have anything too special. (C-)
Radiohead – Paranoid Android
A critically acclaimed song, but really messy and strange to me overall. Very challenging! (C)
Sweet Dreams – Eurythmics
The instant the hand slammed down I felt there was no way anything else could win in the Shuffle Game, however I was curious what second place would be so I kept this shuffled song in the list. Solid hit with almost no weaknesses other than being a bit old. (A) This has won a … Continue reading Sweet Dreams – Eurythmics
Jhené Aiko – stranger
the underrated obscure counterpart to Dimash's same named song Jhene presents a curious indie type song. The melody is too down-low to be truly interesting (especially compared to the Arabic influenced Dimash), but it has some interesting ideas. (C+)
Celeste – Strange
With views rivaling Dimash's same named song, Celeste's song is the polar opposite. It is a lone woman telling of a strange love story indeed. Intriguing and has great potential. (A-)
Dimash – Stranger
`With a very strong Arabic influence, Dimash shows he is no stranger to low nor high registers, showing off his powerful and talented voice. An excellent song overall, with a unique and addicting melody. (A) I must have counted at least a good 7 different "lives" that Dimash accounts: The soft spoken beginning, the old … Continue reading Dimash – Stranger
