Posted July 11, 20205 yr Inspired by Lewis' blunder in the 'sweetener' superior side thread :kink: Which of these similarly titled Ariana album tracks is your favourite? bloodline [from 'thank u, next'] uKqRAC-JNOM borderline (feat. Missy Elliott) [from 'sweetener'] F9-SYDu6ZI4
July 11, 20205 yr Author I had the exact opposite experience with these songs! 'bloodline' was really instant for me on 'thank u, next' but fell down my rankings of the album after a while. However, 'borderline' didn't do a lot for me at first and has slowly grown over time. I've just revisited both and I think 'bloodline' still just about edges it - it contains similar elements to 'Side To Side' in the production but I find it stronger than that on the whole. It's sounding more striking out of the two and is still quite fun.
July 11, 20205 yr It's quite an honour to inspire a thread :lol: Bloodline is a much better song than Borderline for me. I think Borderline is Ari's worst album-track on any of her releases since Yours Truly. Missy Elliott's verse is pointless and Pharrell's production isn't great. Honestly one of her only tracks that I consider skipping. Bloodline is still my least favourite on TUN but still miles ahead between the two.
July 11, 20205 yr 'bloodline'. Powerful, single worthy, catchy bop. 'borderline' Uneventful bland... song with lazy collab verse. Hmmmm.
