Allie X - Happiness Is Going To Get You:

Is Anybody Out There?: Spooky. The production seems decent on this song. I like it. Not sure I'm fully feeling the vocals though. That repeating of "out there". Nope. 6/10

7th Floor: Okay, this seems kinda decent. Kinda boppy. I enjoyed this. Allie X please continue this. I know I've disliked your music before but you can do it. 7/10

Down Season: Piano time? Well, we'll see. Okay, this progressed to something a lot more interesting than the piano part. I enjoyed it after that. The production is great, I love the more electronic parts. The vocals work well too. 7/10

Reunite: Kinda gives that medieval music vibes in places, you know? Especially at the start here. Ohhh, I like that production again. Good stuff. That chorus is catchy. Great song actually! I liked the change at the end too. 8/10

A Glitch In Marie: Oh, it's a transition. That's fun. Kinda a bit eerie and dramatic. Seems like a good transition to me. [No rating]. 

Happiness Is Going To Get You: Nice vocals here, but not sure I'm feeling this song as much. It's a piano based song I'm not fully down with. Pleasant but not majorly feeling it. Title track did not deliver. 6/10

I Hope You Hear This Song: It's decent but I'm not quite feeling it fully again. I enjoyed the later parts of the song more but still. 6/10

Uncle Lenny: We're doing the slow piano song again. Not sure I feel them. Oh thank god it changed. I feel like I sorta like the vocals and sorta don't? Cool ending though. 6/10

It Gets Better (It's Worse Than Ever): Oh, another interlude. This was a cool interlude. It fits well again. I liked the old vibe and those vocals. Almost seems like a sample. Is it? Regardless, good interlude. [No rating].

Learn To Cry: Another quite piano based song that doesn't quite work for me. Vocals are nice but it doesn't fully land for me. Even when other parts come in. 6/10

Stay Green: It's kinda more boppy. It's alright. Not quite there. You've got to vote Green as long as you can though! 6/10

It's Just Light: I like this so far. Good song to finish on? Yeah, this was a good song to end on. One of my favourites on the album for so. More boppy, with good vocals, and it works well. 7/10

Overall Verdict: This album was definitely slower than I anticipated from Allie X. And honestly, it was an improvement. I never really quite got the hype around Allie X, especially her last album, which I did not enjoy a huge amount. I still don't quite get it, but hey, we'll take improvements. There was too much piano here in a way I don't like, but other parts, such as the vocals, were good. There were some boppy songs but also this was a decent, cohesive album overall. It was decent, no more, no less. Still not mega gagged though.

BENEE - Ur an Angel I'm Just Particles:

Demons: You can talk to me whenever. I don't know what I'm saying. This is giving me something. It is giving indie core. I can't tell what artist I'm thinking of unfortunately. Good song anyway. 7/10

Cinnamon: Oh, we're going kinda more boppy now? Alright. Not sure it's fully working for me but sure. It was alright. Cool cello. 6/10 

Vegas: Those are some cool synths in the background. I think I liked this. It worked better for me. It has a good energy to it, and the vocals work. Good indie pop. Cool drums towards the end too. 7/10

Sad Boiii: What are those sounds in the chorus? I like them. This is good indie pop again I think. Sounds good. Again, it has a good energy to it, the instruments come well together, and it has good vocals. Actually, this is really good. 8/10

Prey4U: Not quite as good but I still enjoyed this. The vocals and the instruments in the chorus worked well together again. Good stuff. I think there's some guitar stuff I quite enjoy on this honestly. Cool ending. 7/10

Chainmail: This is decent. The chorus is kinda catchy. It's subtle and not in your face but it's good. The way the chorus is structured is just catchyyyy. 7/10

Doomsday: Nice shake instrument (I'm a pro at this, can you tell?). Whatever it is, tambourine (imagine getting hit on the head by one), maracas, something like that. I'm such a pro. The chorus is something decent again. Not sure I fully felt the layered vocals though. Cool bird noises. That chill outro could have been a transition! Booo. 7/10

Underwater: Cool start. Bit of a D&B beat there. Not sure I fully feel the chorus on this sadly. I do like the beat but yeah. Didn't quite connect with me as much. Cool...synths or whatever at the end. Love some of these outros. 6/10

Off The Rails: That was a fun start! It's more boppy again. I like the guitars on this. They're good. Chorus is great too. This is good stuff! 8/10

Animal: Nice synths there. Fantastic guitar stuff again. Good song. I enjoyed this, especially the chorus again. 7/10

Princess: Okay miss beat. Where did you come from? This feels a bit out of place on the album to me. Boppy though. Welcome back PinkPantheress! Does fit them both. Out of place but good combination. Boppy. 7/10

Heaven: The mandatory slower, more introspective last song? It's alright, it's chill, it's nice. Doesn't really do anything much for me though. Nice ending. 6/10

Overall Verdict: This album was good indie pop. It can be a bit hit and miss for me, but this was definitely more of a hit. It was an enjoyable album, I liked the vocals, and I also liked the guitars on this especially. Decent album! 

BRONZE AVERY - THE REPUBLIC OF MOTION:

AUTOMATIC: This is fun. I like this. It's giving gay. We love gay music. It's boppy. I do like his vocals. Not the best ending but we'll ignore it. 7/10

JUST TELL ME: You know, feeling about it, this kinda reminds me of Tom Aspaul. It's very gay coded. Dance bopppp. 7/10

YOURS/MINE: Okay Mr Producer. I liked this! 7/10

ROUND TWO: Again, pretty similar, good stuff! 7/10

OWN ME: Bop bop bop bop. Good. Gay. All of that stuff. 7/10

THE REPUBLIC OF MOTION: Good final song again. Great stuff. It's very gay. In a good way. 7/10

Overall Verdict: This is the definition of gay man music. To its very core. It was boppy, Bronze has nice vocals, it was boppy, and I enjoyed it. All in all, good! Troye Sivan you're bones! 

Danny Brown - Stardust:

Book of Daniel (feat. Quadeca): Okay Mr Organ. Not feeling the vocals on this really. The guitar isn't working for me either. The production feels a bit all over the place in a way but not in a good way. The drum or whatever towards the end worked better, it improved towards the end. 5/10

Starburst: Cool production to start with. This has more of a good experimental edge that works for me. Vocals still not really my favourite but still. Cool switchup. I like it. I do like the production switchups and the changes between parts of the song. Cool talking part at the end. I think it's the vocals that mainly did not work for me here overall. 6/10

Copycats (feat. underscores): This could be good. It sounds like it's going to be a bop. I'm sorry I just don't like Danny's vocals. I think that's going to be an ongoing issue, because the production here is great. Exactly the stuff I like. underscores sounds a lot better. Like, I can tell it's Danny's fault (and it's not really Danny's fault!). Like the other parts are so catchyyyyy. If I can ignore the Danny parts, it's a fantastic song. But not sure I can. 6/10

1999 (feat. JOHNNASCUS): Okay yes production. Electronic hyperpop stuff. Love it. Maybe Danny's vocals are working better for me on this one? Love the production. The production is so good and it scratches my brain. Ew, not the screaming parts, you ruined it. Loved the production at the end. 6/10

Flowers (feat. 8485): Seems like a more traditional synth bop but we'll see. Oh, thank 8485, love the vocals. Danny NOOO. Love 8485's vocals. Fantastic. Very hyperpop stuff that I like. If nothing else, maybe this will make me listen to 8485 now! Loveee the vocals. Would love the song if it was just 8485 again, sorry! 6/10

Lift You Up: Ohhh, boppy and great production again. Love it. Danny will ruin it though (sorry!). Okay, his vocals worked better on this one. Not as grating for me. Still not enough though. Like those background vocals though. 6/10

Green Light (feat. Frost Children): Again, preferred Frost Children's vocals. I do like the production again though. Just don't like Danny's rapping. 6/10

What You See (feat. Quadeca): Prefer the slower rapping on this. I like that. Nice piano too. Decent, but as it's a slower song, not quite fully for me. I prefer the vocals but can't win because I like the production and the general sound of the song less! Hah! 6/10

Baby (feat. underscores): Let's go underscores. Love the production immediately. Danny stop it please. Again, underscores carrying this for me. Like, the "baby" is so catchy and so is the production. Danny not so bad in the background I suppose. I did enjoy it still. 6/10

Whatever the Case (feat. ISSBROKIE): Danny shushhh. Great production again. ISSBROKIE I like--sorry what DID YOU JUST SAY F**? Sure. 6/10

1l0v3myl1f3! (feat. femtanyl): Oh, that's a good beat. I like the combination with the more abrasive sounds in the background too. Don't mind Danny as much here too. Not the screaming! Lots of fun things going on in the background, I like that. Cool ending, I liked that. 6/10

Right from Wrong (feat. NNAMDI): Production is great again. Liked NNAMDI's feature too. Danny was alright too. The "right from wrong" bit is catchy. Great talking again. I liked that. 6/10

The End (feat. Cynthroni, ta Ukrainka & Zheani): Oh, different language too! That's awesome. I like the production again. Great feature again. Less on board with the Polish I think. It doesn't quite work with the flow of the song. But I like their inclusion. It's midway switchup time? I liked this part of the song. Danny's not too bad again. Wow this track is 8 minutes wow kinda cool actually. And now we're going for the end talking. Hmm. Cool production flourishes. Not sure it needed to be that long but I appreciated it (the talking part). The song could have been like 7ish minutes just fine still. 6/10

All4u (feat. Jane Remover): Danny no stop. Oh, that kinda just happened. Well, it was alright. Again, liked the production, disliked Danny's voice. Difficult! Jane kinda whelmed. 6/10

Overall Verdict: So, I have a very mixed feeling about this album. I enjoyed listening to it, mostly. The problem is that I just do not like Danny's vocals, and it was enough to temper my enjoyment a lot. Especially because it's uh...his album, and he's on all of that song. I LOVED the production, it was experimental, boppy, fantastic, like all that good stuff. I also really liked a lot of the features, who I really found outshone Danny for me. I won't listen to this again, because Danny's rapping does bring it down a lot for me...but I'm glad that he's introduced me to some cool new artists who I will check out more. If it wasn't for his rapping, this would be an album I LOVED.

Faouzia - FILM NOIR:

LOST MY MIND IN PARIS: Oh this is olden vibes. To be fair, it does it well. This really does feel like the introduction to some sort of old mystery film or something. Vocals fit well too. 7/10

PEACE & VIOLENCE: This has a boppy vibe to it that I like. It's still dark and mysterious, but I like it. Good song! 7/10

UNETHICAL: Let's go piano song. Nice vocals that work well with it. I liked it getting more dramatic towards the end too. 7/10

TOUS CES MOTS: Okay miss repetitive French. To be fair, it works well. I like the vocals as well, you can hear the passion and upset in them. Even though it's very repetitive it works well, and shifts throughout the song. It's kinda like an interlude too. 7/10

SWEET FEVER: Hello guitar. I like that chorus. It's got a good energy to it. Some of those vocals are a bit annoying but I can look past it. 7/10

DON'T EVER LEAVE ME: Damn, this is dramatic. I like it. I really did like it. Great vocals and great everything. 8/10

DESERT ROSE: It's a piano! Could be good though because it sounds like a good piano song. See, I don't always hate them. The vocals...not so hot here at the start. The vocals aren't working for me as well in this song sadly. Oh well. 6/10

WEIRDO: Piano time again! I do like the vocals here. Good stuff. Dramatic and good. 7/10

PORCELAIN: It's more piano. Alright. It's alright. Didn't majorly feel it. 6/10

ORNAMENT: Okay, I kinda like the beat on this one. Vocals are pretty too. Nice song. 7/10

PRETTY STRANGER: This is a cool, grand, final song. It really feels like that. Great vocals. No, don't go! 7/10

Overall Verdict: This very much gave me an old time drama movie type vibe, and I liked it. The vocals were mostly a highlight, although sometimes they flop. And considering piano based songs can be hit or miss for me, this was closer to hit. I enjoyed this album overall, though I don't see me returning to it regularly.

Hatchie - Liquorice:

Anemoia: Uh oh, it sounds like it's starting like a bit of a mess. I'm not sure about how everything sounds together. I'm not enjoying this, sorry. It sounds bad to me. The vocals don't work well with the production, and the production kinda sounds messy. 4/10

Only One Laughing: Some of the sounds again just sound bad and like, it just isn't working for me. That bridge was heavily boring too. 4/10

Liquorice: Blah blah blah. This is just boring and sounds bad to me. Vocals, production, everything really. 4/10

Carousel: Blehhhhh. 4/10

Sage: Offensive to my ears. Bad. 4/10

Someone Else's News: This one is just a bit bland honestly, but at least it's not bad like the other songs. Mostly. 5/10

Wonder: Not terrible but yeah...not feeling it. Not for me. I don't really know you at all...and I do not want to. 5/10

Lose It Again: This didn't make me want to chop my ears off, and it was way more standard indie type pop that I enjoyed at least somewhat, so hey, I'll take the win! 6/10

Anchor: Wait, that was it? Okay. Whatever. Next. 5/10

Part That Bleeds: Again, kinda boring. It just didn't inspire anything in me really. 5/10

Stuck: It did kinda seem like an ending track but I don't know...still bland. Whatever. 5/10

Overall Verdict: This verged between inoffensive, mediocre and just plain...bad. This was very much not for me, but I don't even know that it did the "not for me" part well. It was just...worse than that. I felt listening to some of the songs made me wince a bit, and they were messy. At best, it was bland and just didn't invoke any feelings in me at all. Bad! 

Leah Kate - Genius:

Meltdown: Considering Leah's track record so far, I will hate this, but you never know. Oh, we're going electro pop, are we? Can't argue with that. Honestly, sounds pretty decent at the start. I like the chorus. Not sure I'm a mega fan of the vocals, but I can look past it. Good start. 7/10

Not To Be Dramatic: Not the Airplane mode! Boo. Not the worst honestly. It's kinda boppy again. It does give a bit of typical alt pop, but hey, definitely not the worst example of it. Actually, I liked it. 7/10

Two Truths and a Lie: Okay miss kinda cunty. I do like dark leaning pop like this. Nice! Not sure the chorus really connected with me as much, I think it was the vocal effects. The effects did not work. 6/10

Salty: Uh oh, based on the start, this could be a bit more of a mess. I don't like the start of this. The chorus is...a bit better, but it isn't quite landing with me. It's annoying me a bit. Not really feeling the na-na-na bit either. 4/10

Alice in Fuck Boy Land: The concept of this song is...uh, something, but you know what, the chorus actually managed to convince me just a little bit. It had something to it. You win Leah Kate. You win this round. 6/10

Creepin: It's again sorta fine and not the worst, so yeah. A win I suppose! 6/10

ill: Hmm, sorta kinda. I feel like the vocals may be annoying me a bit, and the contrast between the vocals and production is not quite working for me. Maybe how loud they are in comparison to each other? Not terrible though. Decent but not quite there. 6/10

Wink Wink: The "wink wink" part is annoying. That much is for sure. The electronic production is not too bad. Electronic and kinda fun. But I think I didn't quite feel much from this sadly. 5/10

Sad About You: Mehhh. Not really feeling this. Doesn't inspire much, just feels a bit bland. 5/10

Two Years: Boring guitar. Then it switched it up a bit. Still boring. It just happened. 5/10

Not To Brag: Honestly, not the worst. Had that kinda boppy energy again. Maybe Tate McRae-ish? 6/10

Stupid: I did like the chorus of this. The first verse was a bit bland but the chorus gave decent energy. Vocals and production worked well. This was one of the best songs on the album honestly. Good! 7/10

Genius: Ew, that start is yucky. Does not work for me. Not the talking. The chorus production however, good. I do like it. 7/10

Overall Verdict: This was a big step up for Leah Kate for me. Previously, I have absolutely HATED her work. One of the worst projects I ever rated was Leah Kate's. So this is a fantastic step up compared to that. Is it a super great album? No, it's not. It still has a lot of bland songs, some mediocre lyrics, and parts that just do not work. However, there's also a fair bit of good on this album! It's officially not a bad album, and that's honestly a big win for me and Leah Kate. It felt like it dragged on a bit, but hey. 

Meg Smith - Disco Dystopia:

Introduction: Okay high vocals. This is a nice introductory song. I like the production on it. [No rating]. 

I've got a bad feeling...: Nice transition. Hmm, not sure I'm totally feeling the vocals here. They feel a bit too quiet and reserved for this song, if that makes sense? Not quite there. 6/10

Girls Just Wanna Be Famous: The start was a bit mediocre. It's kinda boppy. I do like the production again but it's not quite fully connecting for me again, it's like it's missing something. 6/10

Hedonistic: Kinda gives partially cunty energy. Electronic production that I like. But it's not quite fully there again. I did like the instrumental bit towards the end though. 6/10

Dive Bar Opera: Oh, no, not these layered vocals. That could annoy me. Oh, actually, the main vocals are not doing it for me majorly as well. Yeah, I think it's the vocals here holding the song back, because I like the production. 6/10

Dancing with the Devil: Lighter time. I think I like the vocals more here so far. The chorus here is good. This may be the best song for me so far. The vocals and production work well. 7/10

Disco Dystopia: Okay, this is a more boppy song that does work a bit better for me than the others, although I still think it's the vocals selling the song short. Like the vocals don't quite work and some of it is annoying (the high "disco!" parts). 6/10

God Damn Baby: This is decent. It's again the production that is the main win and the vocals that are letting it down a bit for me. Oh well. 6/10

Winner: Welcome back Olivia Rodrigo! This gave me "get him back" vibes, at least at the start. The vocals are failing again sadly, especially towards the chorus. 6/10

Carlos, Get in the Car!: No, I won't. Kinda a grand-ish outro song, it feels like one, it feels a bit out of place with some of the other songs somewhat too. Oh well. I feel like it was alright. Oh, actually, there's the cunty part. I get it now. Not enough though. 6/10

Overall Verdict: [I liked the production, vocals let it down, I feel like the vocals annoyed me/didn't fit the boppy song but felt the more slower/dreamy song] 

piri & tommy - magic!:

someone: This feels annoying. Oh dear. Those vocals are grating. And the production is almost goofy like. Oh no, is it growing on me? This is what Stockholm Syndrome gets you. It's still annoying though. 6/10

miss provocative: Honestly, this was kinda boppy. I liked it. Nothing special, but hey, not everything has to be. 7/10

venus: Welcome back PinkPantheress! Sorta kinda anyway. Good song regardless. 7/10

tom & zendaya: Well this is a fun song title. It's good in the same way. Nothing special but yeah. 7/10

locked up: Some nice synths here. Vocals are quite high and annoying in parts though. But I do like the synths so. 6/10

magic: Even though it had a beat it was also a bit boring in parts. But nice vocals So. Eh. 6/10

Overall Verdict: This was more mixed for me than I would have liked, considering I saw piri & tommy open for Charli XCX once, and I really enjoyed it (even though I was also trying not to faint at the time). Sometimes the vocals were grating, sometimes the production was boring, and sometimes the songs were good. Decent enough listen but I wanted it to be better! 

Remy Bond - Backstage at The Tropicana:

Star Shaped Baby: Lana Del Rey is that you? Cool trumpet. Anyway, this is not quite there for me, but it's decent. I do like the vocals, but it's not my favourite type of song, even if it is kinda 'boppy'. 6/10

Skin Tight Jeans: Okay diet Lana Del Rey. In this case I feel the production feels slightly off, if that makes sense? It sounds messy. Not quite there for this. It's too messy. The vocals are drowned too. 4/10

Hawaiian Dream: The vocals are drowned again for me and that just does not work. I'm not feeling it. Nor am I feeling those background vocals, though they do sound better than Remy. The combination is better though. So, ehhh. 5/10

Sunset Claws: I like the more tropical or sunny vibes of that. The vocals do feel better for me too. Less diet Lana. The production elements with those sounds/instruments are very interesting too, and just generally kinda boppy. This is the best song so far for sure. 7/10

Don't Go Back To Paris: I'll do what I want thanks. Uh oh, what are these vocals now? We're back to diet Lana? Okay the diet Lana does work better here, it's landing somewhat. 6/10

Orlanda: Lana Lana Lana. The vocals get lost in parts again. It may be intentional or for effect but it does not quite work for me. Anyway, like Lana songs, it's decent enough. 6/10

Summer Song: Again, pretty similar. I think it works well. 7/10

Moviestar: We're switching it up a bit again. Not quite working and the vocals get a bit drowned again. Kinda boppy though. You know what, it won me over. Good song. Mixing needs work in this project though in parts. 7/10

Overall Verdict: This is very much Diet (Pepsi!) Lana Del Rey, and I think those songs where that was leaned into were probably the best. There were a couple of flops, and the mixing for some of the songs...yikes. Do better in that regard. I think I see the potential of Remy but I'm not quite sold just yet, having listened to this. 

ROSALÍA - LUX

Sexo, Violencia y Llantas: It's a piano. Dramatic piano. I liked how dramatic this got. Very grand. Good vocals too. Nice stuff! 7/10

Reliquia: There was a transition! Nice. Is that a violin or something? If so, it's cool. That beat is very cool. I liked this. Good vocals. Nice piano again. Dramatic towards the end. 7/10

Divinize: Good vocals again. I liked this. The production is interesting. 7/10

Porcelana: Kinda dramatic again. Not sure I felt this one quite as much. Interesting production though. 6/10

Mio Cristo Piange Diamanti: Uh oh, not just the vocals. Yeah, I did not like this. Too olden days or something like that. Grand towards the end, hahah that was funny at the end. Not really for me though. 5/10

Berghain (feat. Bjork & Yves Tumor): This fits well as a followup. The album is definitely cohesive in that way. Dramatic. I liked it. Like I said before, not really what I expected a collab between these three to sound like, but hey. Fuck me until I love you? Okay. 7/10

La Perla (feat. Yahritza Y Su Esencia): Could be boring again. We'll see. I'm afraid it was a bit boring and samey. 5/10

Mundo Nuevo: Nice vocals but this is also a bit boring for me. Yeah, that just happened. 5/10

De Madruga: This seems like it could be better. It was definitely more interesting, the hook was catchy, but it still wasn't quite there for me. 6/10

Dios Es Un Stalker: Cool it kinda had a switchup, and I did like the vocals, but ehhh. I'm still a bit bored by it. 5/10

La Yugular: Oh dear, it's all failing a bit now. Start is also boring for me. Again, cool kinda switchups, but I'm not quite there for it. There were interesting parts for sure but eh. Nice talking at the end. 5/10

Sauvignon Blanc: Nice piano. Nice vocals. Also boring. Sorry! Not for me. 5/10

La Rumba Del Perdon (feat. Estrella Morente & Silvia Perez Cruz): This song had more to it. I was more entertained. Uh oh, what's about to happen? The beat is happening. Okay, wasn't quite there, but it was definitely better. 6/10

Memoria (feat. Carminho): Nice piano, but I feel the same yet again. Good vocals. It gives that grand almost opera like sound. Not for me. Bored. 5/10

Magnolias: I guess it's a nice final song but eh. This is not my genre of music. I don't think it's bad, but it just does nothing for me, for the most part. Some cool production choices again, but yeah. Okay, it did get more interesting as it went on. Not quite by enough. Angelic background vocals were nice. 5/10

Overall Verdict: I can see why this got a lot of hype, and why it would appeal to me, especially with the many languages and the type of music not normally seen by mainstream artists in the 'pop' area. Unfortunately, classical and orchestral is not really my jam, which is surprising to nobody. So I found it a fair bit boring. I don't think that makes it bad by any means, but yeah. There were some songs with interesting production, but that's not enough to save the album for me. 

Singles:

Au/Ra - SWAMP: Old Gameboy music vibe there. That's fun. This was good! Boppy. The production was electronic and fun, and the vocals worked well with it. 8/10

colby! - Rich Neighborhood: Kinda gives generic alt pop, if I'm honest. The way it's sung and everything, the production. Not that it's bad though -- it's good. 7/10

Dove Cameron - Hello My Old Lover: Ehhh. It sounds decent but it just doesn't do anything for me. Emotional song I guess but I just don't really care a huge amount about it. Like I said, sounds decent but vocal wise and production wise though. 6/10

Georgia - Be Free: Dance time? This was a fun song. 7/10

Hayley Williams - Showbiz: Sparkle start, alright. Okay, I was not expecting that. This was good! I liked this. Parachute you're bones (no you're not). Ended a certain other showbiz/girl thing lately. 7/10

Holly Humberstone - Die Happy: Pretty typical Holly song honestly. I did like it. It's not usually my thing but good vocals and production. Good! 7/10

Isabel LaRosa - Her Face: Another similar song? Very chill and slow. I liked it actually. Good! 7/10

Kehlani - Out The Window: Wind? Fun! This was a good song! Good vocals, fun production, I enjoyed it. Chill bop. 7/10

Kesha (feat. Sizzy Rocket) - ATTENTION!: Oh ATTENTION! the song that you are. I bet the features could ruin it. Sorry! Hi Sizzy Rocket. You know what, it wasn't the worst. It was decent. Not my favourite and doesn't beat the original. But good! Not sure I needed the production changes at the end though. 7/10

Kesha (feat. XAMIYA) - ATTENTION!: Well. The less said about the feature the better. You can't have my attention. 5/10

LØLØ - me with no shirt on: Typical alt pop stuff but hey, I enjoyed it. Good vocals. 7/10

Peach PRC - Miss Erotica: Okay miss bop! Let's go. I enjoyed this for sureeee. Good song! Very much a boppppp. 8/10

Romy - Love Who You Love: Oh, this is good. I like the beat on this and the production. And the vocals! This was a great song. Gay rights! 8/10 

Sebastian Croft - Tokyo: Heartstopper time. Did I expect an acoustic guitar? Yes. Did I get one? Yes. Not a huge fan of the vocals, they feel a bit...off in the song, if that makes sense? Anyway, it was alright. Some of it was a bit clunky but I enjoyed the song. 6/10

Victoria (feat. Pablo Vittar & Isabella Lovestory) - KILLA: Well this is hyperpop cunty esque. Not a major fan of the vocals at the start but we'll see where this goes. I enjoyed this. Good combo of artists. 7/10
