01) Diona -
02) Charli XCX - the remix of this is amazing but i find this to be pretty weak especially for her. from the other snippets, i think i will appreciate this more within the context of the album. but on its own, im not gagging
03) kezia - Plain Jane, spaghetti, No sauce, no sauce… but it’s pleasant and would by no means be something id run to skip if it came on shuffle
04) Grace Power - the first few piano notes were giving me The Loneliest Time i was leaned forward. theres glimpses of this that i like but it feels corny as a final product. nice voice tho
05) BAMBY - annoying as hell but kinda funny
06) Jaydonclover - ooooh i love this, it doesnt particularly evolve but it’s a very pleasant listen. the simple production helps her voice shine for me
07) Naoma - cute and fun! not something id prob ever revisit but enjoy this for what it is
08) Drake Bell - not my foot tapping…. it goes on FOREVER though like my goodness. but i fully expected this to be dogshit and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the product. i hope whoever submitted this did so with genuine intentions since i know sometimes a troll entry pops up.
09) BENEE - forgot about this lady, she had a few songs i enjoyed and i see she seems to have made a slight shift in her sound? this is a lot of fun!
10) Gia Woods - had me hooked at the beginning, sounds a lot like turn off the light (non-derogatory) sonically, it’s a little silly but im bopping
11) Allison Ponthier - not this lady GET HER OFF MY SHOW. another 20something inspired by taylor but i find her to be like a more pleasant-sounding maisie peters. eating my first sentence a bit bc this has some very gorg parts, simple but i enjoyed this
12) Alexander Stewart - go to therapy stop screaming at me
13) Rodney Chrome - works more as a tiktok sound/snippet than a full song. some really terrible parts here haha
14) Diana Wang - she queened out a bit here, didn’t she? not something i’d typically be bopping to and its simple but its working for me. very smooth overall
15) Kalomira - LMAO i laugheddddd. this is the kind of camp im kinda fucking with though TBH like this is mother???? reminds me of hilary duff in breathe in/breathe out era like dated but im having fun!
16) Paula Cendejas - to go from such a mother to whatever this is… boring, then theres a bit of good, then just becomes way too noisy way too quickly. throwing every dart at the board but using her non-dominant hand
17) DPR IAN - surprisingly fine background noise. but this is pee pee poo bad
18) Fluhx - what is with this youtube title lol is this AI generated? i actually enjoy the sound quite a bit, reminds me of what would play on the OC. not entirely sold on his voice but exceeded expectations for sure
19) Empress Of - there were better sends from this album but this is still a win relatively speaking this week, love that production and feel itd hit on a dancefloor after a few drinks
20) yeule - cool risks taken but i find this to drag ultimately. fails to grab my attention
21) ATARASHII GAKKO! - ooooooooh im seated!! i hope this doesnt suck. ok it’s kind of a lot and never reaches the high bar i set for it but its fun enough. a wee annoying though
22) Vampire Weekend - no because i almost sent this in place of my entry but wanted to see if there’d be a better bop on the album…. love them and this, for sure my favorite single from the era thus far and evokes the old vampire weekend sound that i love so so much. lately, 30 seconds before i get to work ive been switching whatever im playing (usually something loud to wake me up) to this and lowering the volume lmao. first truly great entry of the week for me
23) HONEYMOAN - ok this is like very simple but i enjoyed it. nothing all too special but its cute
24) underscores - uhhhhh hahahahahah sorry…….. *closes laptop*
