NEW MUSIC FRIDAY 4.04.25 #26
Azizam – Ed Sheeran (4/10)
This is Ed's weakest lead single ever, and now I've just lost hope in him entirely... He's not going to go out of his comfort zone, and he's still going to try and push bland radio pop that sounds like it's made for a children's costume party. I really regret having hope in this because I should've known that he was going to continue getting worse! This as a main single is laughable, and the worst part is radio will probably eat it up and make it go number one. Oh, and for anyone thinking, "Maybe the next singles will be better," he's actually already revealed three other song titles and performed one live. The live song is called 'Old Phone', and it's a standard sad guitar song! So it's official; we get a hyped-up hook, which is really Ed singing louder, and some low-effort dance-pop melody. Thanks a lot.
End Of The World – Miley Cyrus (7/10)
You know I'm happy to see Miley taking a new path in music and all, but this still just isn't the crème de la crème like people say it is. Sure, she's got some nice raspy vocals along with the more polished pop-rock sound, but this isn't exactly anything never seen before.
Potion – Djo (5/10)
I'm just not really feeling this… The only really good single from this is 'Delete Ya', and that barely made the 7/10 mark. The sound here feels like it's missing something… There's no spark here, just some romantic guitar song that has some effects on it to make it sound less generic; it just doesn't do much for me.
Tonight – Pinkpantheress (7/10)
It has her signature style while still maintaining an enjoyable sound!
23:42 - Rachel Chinouriri (8.1/10)
Rachel makes one of her best songs yet! This is epic! The slightly heavier background made Rachel stand out more, along with a more futuristic-sounding intro which blends into the sound more; it's a repeat!
Hoochie Coochie – Sexxy Red (2/10)
I hate how she screams in a weird voice near the end on top of an already lacking production. Imagine making your whole personality about how h*rny you are.
Silver Lining – Laufey (7.4/10)
Laufey has such a talent! My favourite part about her is her voice – it works so well on gentle melodies.
Back To Me – The Marias (6.4/10)
It works, but it just doesn't impress me. The Marias won't make any new turns with their style or make anything that hasn't been done; it's getting dull, but at least it's still a decent style they're doing.
Caramel – Sleep Token (7/10)
Better than their previous single, it brings more hope for what's to come.
All The Way – BigXthaPlug/Bailey Zimmerman (8/10)
BIGXTHA WENT HARD!! I actually love his deep vocals and the unapologetic way he raps! I didn't expect this to work with a country artist, but it did, and they changed back and forth in verses really smoothly; well made.
Gucci Mane - Jessie Murph (6/10)
Considering she's one of my least favourite artists ever and her vocals usually sound like a cat meowing out of pain, I'll take this! 6/10 is EXTREMELY high for Jessie Murph, and I think she's taken vocal lessons and picked a new direction because this softer sound suits her, and despite her inner vocal break coming in when she goes higher, she manages to maintain it slightly better on the emotional high hook.
Law N Order – GELO (6.4/10)
GELO is really for the funky rap beats! This still has some of the production placements that 'Tweaker' has; it feels like he's just trying to keep remixing his hit to get another hit.
Surrender – Alesso/Becky Hill (5.5/10)
Really basic electronic music.
Money Talks – Bossman Dlow (3/10)
Can this guy make anything else? Even his YouTube comment section constantly roasts him, and YouTube is like the nicest social media.
God Knows – Calum Scott (8/10)
I'm starting to really like this guy's stuff more and more! His vocals have powerful holds and deep emotion in them, and he sings the song how it sounds like it should be sung – the chord changes are smooth and develop more character with the song that further moves you.
Sweet danger – Obongjayer (6.4/10)
I was getting excited for the album, but this just doesn't do it for me – it needs more than the culture or influence; it needs more style.
The Flood – Aurora (7/10)
Aurora adds such personality and sounds like no other. Her music has a magical sound as if you're in another dimension.
Hello Again – Zoe Wees (6.3/10)
Sinners – Rod Wave (4/10)
After his tedious and disappointing 'Last Lap' album, Rod continues to go into the same roots that got him nowhere.
CCF – Car Seat Headrest (6.2/10)
I liked the composed sound of everything, but overall this just didn't click for me.
Double Trio Two – By Storm (4/10)
The Loud jazz instrumentals just ends up covering up all the vocals to the point where you can't hear anything and it sounds poorly produced. The beat could've been saved if it wasn't for that.
From me to you – Poppy/Babymetal (8.1/10)
These two have chemistry! The hard-core metal with the lighter singing voice is two things that many expect not to work, but this did, and it sounds like something which would work really well in a shooting game. It gives off gaming vibes.
