NEW MUSIC FRIDAY RANKING 25.10.24 #4

 

This is more me saying what I think about the track than a full description review. I'm working on other projects in and outside of my write-ups, so this week will be shorter. Thank you to everyone who reads my opinion. I'm aiming to make my write-ups better; from now on I'll try and be much more descriptive. I'm not good at grasping stuff immediately, but I'll tell you this: consider this my worst write-up because I'm trying to make everything better; this was more of a quick note down.

 

Disease: Lady Gaga (4/10) Whatever this new era is going to be continued as, I don't think this first pushed single is good. This doesn't have the infectious mood the other Gaga singles give; it feels like something that only sounded like a Gaga song because her voice was on it; it feels like a weak choice to open up the era, and if she continues making these types of songs, then her next album will flop as much as 'Harlequin' did.

 

Over each other: Linkin Park (5.5/10) The first two singles were much better from their album; this doesn't give the impact and is more of a sad song, and as much as I respect them trying out calmer things than just full on metal, this isn't a repeat for me; stick to the first two types of songs.

 

Presidente: Gabito Ballesteros/Natanael Cano/Luis R. Conrique/Neton Vega (5/10) Wow, these Spanish songs are getting so boring; they all use the same trumpet sounds and a similar backbeat, but just changing one thing; this feels like any other Mexican/Spanish song.

 

Panic Attack, Halsey (5/10): I didn't really like the way she sang the song; she took pauses that didn't feel right and sang it in a way that sounded like it shouldn't have been like that.

 

Noid - Tyler, The Creator (5/10) - this sounds like parts of something you would hear out of a show like Star Trek if it had a theme tune, and then you hear a female rapper despite Tyler being male. This was a very unique track for me, but not as much in a good way; it all felt very mixed apart and jumbled in a strange way.

 

The feeling: Rudimental/1991/PNAU/AR-CO (5/10) For four people, this is a very basic track, and it lacked the energy I wished to see. I feel that Rudimental is slipping up as an artist, and songs are getting blander with each release; maybe he should stick to being a chef.

 

Bigger in Texas: Megan Thee Stallion (3/10) I'm sick of this woman's music. One listen and it's something you find alright, then afterwards it becomes the same thing just with different lyrics. I mostly know this woman for being the one to twist the truth and rap very sharply, but all talent goes out the window when most people would think you sound like any other female rapper and rap about the same thing. Modern rap like this ruines society, and I see why this stuff rarely goes to No. 1. I know her fans are going to call this gritty, hard-hitting, and anthemic, but what really makes this stand out? And this is the main track on the album? Please, do better!

 

Aquamarine - Addison Rae (4/10) I never really liked Addison's music; it all sounds like something else should've been added, and throughout the song there are no good parts or surprises; she just bores you throughout.

 

Be Alright, Joel Corry (5/10) I don't think the vocals were a good choice for this.

 

Know you like that—Jordan Davis (4.5/10) - There needs to be more style on this; it sounds very basic.

 

Closure: Kyle Ricch/Cash Cobain (3.5/10) This song is like the male version of Ice Spice.

 

In the morning, Hunxho/Ty Dolla Sign (5/10)

 

Next to you: JVKE (6.5/10) This showcased the singer's music really well while adding touches to attract new people to his music. I thought this was a smart song choice, and I enjoyed it!

 

Love the way you lie. Jax Jones/Azteck/Norma Jean Martine (3.5/10) Honestly, I could've done better without the remix of the classic Eminem and Rihanna song; this is as cheap as a David Guetta remix. Tell me why 3 people came together to make a remix, and it's just the same song with a new high-pitched backbeat. This is so low effort and boring it's insane; Joel has lost his spark as a DJ.

 

One eye open, Mimi Webb (5/10).

 

NEVER FIND - Glorilla/K Carbon (3/10) If this wasn't for the bearable sound, I would be rating it lower, but I actually found the production and quality OK. What I find cringeworthy is not just that she's rapping about your average rap cr*p, but she mentioned lunchables in her rap. No way are you bragging about getting millions; then you have to include a sponsor, and there's no way you actually just like them to include them in there. Glorilla is such a fake rapper.

 

Heart of a Woman by Summer Walker (5/10) - This really didn't have much to it for me; I don't mind Summer Walker's music, and this was just her usual.

 

Fable by Gigi Perez (4/10): This bored me so much; the songs are too long, and the structure has no real hook to it but just feels like this was made to be a flop song, which is impossible, but it does sound like a flop song.

 

As Good As It Gets, Katie Gavin/Mitski (10) Eeeeh, the vocal flow could've given more here, and I know Mitski can do better; this just felt very low effort and disappointing. This didn't have a catchy or memorable moment.

 

You don't love me—Gucci Mane/Sexxy Redd (3/10) Absolute brainrot of a song; it's what you can guess a flex song about getting money, and t******, of course a lot of rappers will only make music about that these days, sadly.

 

Baggage: Kelsie Ballerini (5.5/10): I think this does have the potential to get noticed because the melody is something that's going to get fixed into your brain easily, but I feel that Kelsie should include more style. I get that she goes for something simple a lot of the time, but that's really what this single needs.

 

Rebel Soul - Michael Kiwunuka (5/10)

 

Good Enough - Michael Marcagi (6/10)

 

Cherish (My Love) - ILLIT (4/10) It's just the same K-pop sound used. I like K-pop, but I don't understand this specific group's hype.

 

Say what: Rampa/Adam Port/&Me/Chuala/Keinemusik (4/10) This is such a weak and bland song; this shouldn't take 5 artists to make.

 

Is This Love To You? - Bryant Barnes (6/10)

 

Born With A Broken Heart - Damiano David (7/10) What a powerful track! Damiano's voice is infused with the hard-hitting rock while talking about not being able to have his broken heart fixed in a relationship; this is the first song I've heard from his solo career (even though it's not his first solo song), and I love this! I could tell from his voice he was passionate and singing about something that felt very personal to his heart! Keep up with this real stuff!

 

I'll be there - Jin (4/10).

If you don't grasp stuff immediately, as you say, then why bother writing it up so quickly? Wouldn't it be better to wait until you've heard tracks a few times? Not a criticism, just a suggestion as it seems pointless giving your opinion on something which will probably grow on you in time. For example I'm guessing your score for 'Disease' will be higher than 4/10 once you've heard it a few more times?
Anyone know why Joe Jonas's album got postponed? I'm sure it was supposed to be out last week!
  • Author
The record's release date was subsequently postponed by Jonas, as he felt he wanted to "add some final touches" to the project
