I don't usually leave comments but I thought I would for the top few (+18 through +10) this time. +18 // Harmonica / Tall Heights - Spirit Cold What a beautiful song, this is the first BJSC entry I've listened to on repeat for days on end for quite a while. Everything from the beautifully mixed acoustic guitar, the smooth ethereal vocals with the slow build from falsetto into a more powerful chest voice, the wonderful strings that slowly creep in, the steady drum beat that just continues to get stronger, the way the harmonies come in towards the end and that's just a brief analysis of what I love about this song, a fantastic find and I hope Harmonica goes far in this contest. +15 // Yehesi / IAMX - I Come With Knives What's not going on in this song? I use this word a bit too often but absolute banger, great synths, a proper dirty industrial sound with lots of distortion, that kind of stuff really appeals to the heavier side of my taste (even tho this isn't that heavy but I digress). Got to be honest I never really expected something like this from Yehesi but I'm so glad they went with it, this is such a quality entry and really gets you going. Also I definitely appreciate the random German. +13 // St. Burbia / Alice Merton - No Roots Tune. This song starts with the epic bass line and just builds and builds with it's roots ( :magic: ) firmly planted in said bass line that just won't stop (aside from strategic delays in the prechorus) and powers it's way through this beauty of a song with slowly increasing urgency. The vocals here are fantastic with just enough backing vox in there to not be overwhelming but to add meaningfully to the song. By the time you get to the second chorus it's already at the point at which it'll be stuck in your head for the rest of the day and let's not even talk about that luscious breakdown at the end or else I won't be able to control the gushing. +12 // Cor Lupus / LIONE - Leave This Place Addictive, catchy and impossible not to like on first listen. This is the kind of music I would have been actively searching out a few years ago and it makes me want to go back to it, catchy, uplifting, soaring synthpop with fantastic leads in the instrumental section after the chorus and impeccably timed stops/ starts (see 2:20), beautiful production on this and again with the ethereal vocals. I was so close to putting this up a couple places higher and if this was an 'ordinary' contest I expect this would get at least a 15 if not an 18. This one's a grower as well, it just gets better every time I listen to it so who knows where it'll be if I do an end of year... +11 // Pupok / Bishop Briggs - River Some great crunchay guitar in this one, I know I'm going to keep saying this now but it's so hard not putting this higher. A great infusion of digital production and audio recordings in this, possibly one of my favourite ever Pupok entries. Great starts and stops, a touch of distortion on the instrumental throughout and in the chorus it's just so deliberate and powerful with those dubstep esque punches and a melody hook that you just can't help get stuck in your head for all the right reasons. +10 // Azure / Marianas Trench - Celebrity Status First of all welcome to the contest Azure- the final on your debut no less! I've got to admit I did know this song before the contest but only by a month or two. This sound fills me with nostalgia, good old pop punk with a pleasing chord progressions and a clean vocalist pushing the limits of his range in order to convey maximum emotion. :lol: It's a really fun song and I honestly couldn't imagine giving it any less that this, it's only at 10 because of the strength of the above songs, great first entry Azure, keep them coming. +09 // Taahino / Greywind - Circle +08 // Medhelnia / Elsa & Emilie - Run +07 // Persephonia / xi - Happy End Of The World +06 // Altyr Muunilinst / Ramin Djawadi - Light Of The Seven +05 // Fljótavík / Agoria - Up All Night [Fljótavík Edit] +04 // Jadakissnia / Tearist - Headless +03 // #00274E / Pogo - Data & Picard +02 // Aesthetica / Wonder Girls - I Feel You +01 // N DNTN / Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - Harajuku Iyahoi Honourable mentions: +00 // Beaverdonia / Digitalism - Open Waters +00 // Tinnmark / Mikhael Paskalev - Witness +00 // Espen / Tamer - Beautiful Crime +00 // Land of DW / Austra - Future Politics +00 // Niceland / Captain Cuts - Love Like We Used To (feat. Nateur) +00 // Mulgracia / Grouplove - Good Morning +00 // D'yermak'er / Nightly - XO +00 // South Danaelanda / Aly & Fila meets Roger Shah and Susana - Unbreakable +00 // Desbuanda / Sylvan Esso - Radio Fantastic quality in this contest, some of those commiserations felt impossible to leave out, and of course beautiful presentation and outstandingly well run hosting Leww!
