Benson 100%!!

Yep, it’s got to be Benson. Nice to have a new male pop star releasing great music!

Rebecca Black - Salvation is SFG!

Playlisted my top 3 from week 6 (I've not previously been a huge fan of Alice Chater so this song was a pleasant surprise!), but only my #1 from the other two. The week 7 poll was a rough listen, love 'High Fashion' and the Sam song was decent but the rest were mid at best. Yay for a Tate single I can actually get behind again after really not feeling the other ones this era, 'Revolving door' reminds me a bit of Dua Lipa's 'Last Dance'.

Benson

2 Rebecca Black

3 Damiano David

Decided to plump for Lizzo

Benson!

More votes please. 🙂

hmm not really digging this list all that much but rebecca black is decent.

recommendations:

• Grace VanderWaal ft. Aliyah's Interlude - Babydoll

• Charlotte Plank - chemical fashion

• Charlotte Lawrence - Dog

• Mia Wray - Sad But True

• ASHWARYA - NRG

Went with 'Next Summer' by Damiano David. Wasn't anticipating liking it as much as I did when looking at the list! The chorus melody reminds me of 'Until I Found You'.

I enjoyed Benson Boone, Dasha and Lizzo too.
