Artist: Snow Tha Product

Track: "Nuestra Canción"

 

 

We never thought that we would have a foreign language entry this soon, let alone in Spanish. It's something new as we haven't really had an accessible urban/hip-hop song that was this accessible and had this much flow. It's safe to say that July is our Latina month. Snow Tha Product is a Mexican-American rapper, she's L.A based, and if you look up her name, the first thing you'll see is her song "Nights" which samples W. Darling's "Nights Like This" from last August's contest. We think people will definitely take notice of this urban "Compton meets Cabo" somewhat slutjam that we've wanted to share for a while.

I've heard both remix EP's already (they were released through Dim Mak already)

And once again we can't keep a qualification streak to save our lives.

 

I feel so out of touch with this contest. A lot of the songs I thought would make it in ended up DNQ'ing and the last two contests I felt as though my inspiration has dried up, and maybe the rest of BuzzJack has resonated with me but idk. I'm struggling to find another "Bring Back The Summer" type entry that I would love anyway even if I hadn't entered it to the contest and I just feel like I've lost faith.

Backstage Access Episode 12.5: Spread The Love

Artist: Sofia Carson

Track: "Love Is The Name"

 

 

With all this sadness and evil going on in the world, including coming off a third DNQ (the racism!), we need to spread a little love and kindness to the world. And what better way to do that than with the one thing that unites us all: music. And fellow Latina entrant Sofia Carson is doing just that for the Reinvention spin-off. In a sea of covers, mashups and remixes, she takes the 1982 Opus smash "Live Is Life" and transforms it into her own take, and while it's not much of a straight use of the lyrics (well other than that "na na na na na" part), it's a pretty inspired look on the contest.

 

Let's forget the last contest. This life is a game, and love is the name.

 

#Reinvention #SpreadTheLove

 

Also this is my favorite song that I've sent to BJSC EVER so please don't let me down. Though you probably would. Let's get rid of #CorLupusRacism

I wanted you to Q so badly :cry:

I wanted you to Q so badly :cry:

I'm probably just gonna get vetoed and send faceless cheap dance as a replacement from now on because apparently that's what gets me to qualify

 

Or just keep recycling

 

*that's a hint on two potentials, I've cleared my list once again*

This was my favourite entry of yours since joining! Extremely catchy & one I'll remember, really disappointed it didn't qualify :/

 

Also I've never heard of Sofia Carson before but wow she is attractive!

SOS

 

Should I send dance next month or nah

Yes please sir.

(Oh god I promised myself I would never do this...)

 

So someone decided to tweet the hashtag #RedefiningComebackTheSequel and it's trending all of Cor Lupus. Well... we don't know how this time. So, similar to the Lupine public Twitter poll that helped us find a presenter for 84, we're giving the rest of the BuzzJack world the chance to help us #RedefineComeback.

 

(little voice in my head: Mainly because Cody loves way too many songs for his own good.

 

Me: SHUT UP TIMOTHY)

 

Potentials coming soon.

All right. Here goes. The potentials are...

 

The Naked And Famous - "Higher"

 

DYSON - "Up All Night"

 

Symon - "Say"

 

JAHKOY - "Still In Love (Digital Farm Animals Remix)"

Dyson >>>>

('Higher' >>) 'Still In Love' > 'Say' > 'Up All Night'

 

Well 'Higher' is easily the best song here but I'd be very surprised if it wasn't vetoed, it's a new single by a very well-known band... I thought they'd be vetoed easily the last time they were entered, but even moreso this time!

 

The other three songs are all alright, and I imagine they'd all at least qualify :P 'Say' and 'Up All Night' have a chance of appealing quite well to the pop hoes I guess ~

Higher >> Still In Love >> Say >> Up All Night

 

I love Higher but I could easily see it be vetoed, its by a very well known band so I think It could easily pick up a lot of points.

 

Still In love is a close second, very chilled out

 

I think Still In Love and Say could do well the most

Say > Higher > Still In Love > Up All Night.

 

As the others stated above, good luck passing the veto with Higher...Say FTW!!!

'Still In Love' >> ('Higher') > 'Say' > 'Up All Night'

 

 

'Higher' is pretty good but just from what I've seen on blogs / remember from the veto framework off the top of my head it'll clear 25 points easy.

'Up All Night' feels rather basic, sounds like something Hendinia would send and get mid-table in the final with :kink: I like it but it's not really a standout to me.

'Say' has a good breakdown but the rhymed feels very forced. Like the rap bit though!

I'm biased towards 'Still In Love' because I saw Jahkoy open for Tinashe but I absolutely LOVE it. Stunning remix, maybe a bit bland but that's the only real downside to me.

 

I'm slightly feeling doubtful on "Higher" being vetoed because sure it's hyped but they had two major NZ hits six years ago and then POOF. Then again I did think Atlas Genius had a pretty decent following and they didn't get vetoed so *shrugs*

 

Why you gotta do me like this Bray

I believe in yoooouuu!!
