Dreamcatcher - Steamed Alexchans But It Is K-Pop
Killah Queen - I vaguely remember her coming up last time? It think I remember talking about it being weird me not voting for German woman rapping. This is really damn good, like first two tracks is all killer no filler.
曾軼可 (Zeng Yike) - Grefter Songs But It Is K-Pop. I don't know if this works quite as well as Dreamcatcher does because it is kind of rejecting the self destruction instead of just being about wallowing in it, but its pretty good. Dreamcatcher is also just a better put together complete package.
I fucking love the costuming though.
Lin Manuel Miranda & Ben Platt - So this is a mash-up apparently? I am really out of the pop culture bubble that these come from. It sounds like some Disney ass tunes to me, but hey more power to people doing songs for social progress. I kinda don't see how it ties in to the march specifically, but whatever its cool that its there.
Kelly Clarkson - On first listen "Eh this is Kelly Clarkson, I wonder if she wrote it or someone else did. It sounds like pushing really hard on vocal stuff like she isn't really famous for". To wikipedia! "I Don't Think About You" is written by Sean & Andre Davidson of the production duo The Monarch, singer Jessica Ashley (professionally known as Harlœ), and Vanderbilt pianist Michael Pollack. ... Prior to finishing the track, Clarkson had asked Harlœ to pen it like a Whitney-esque ballad to showcase her range, which led to an arrangement emphasizing on her vocals.
Yep okay, so there is nothing wrong with either of those things, but part of the appeal to me of your Adelle/Florence/Lorde stuff is exactly how personal it is. Also I really am not a fan of ballads that push vocals and oversinging. It just ain't me.
Matty B - Hey puberty is being really kind to him and he seems to be doing pretty well for himself. Also it is weird how less sexual this is compared to the stuff when he wasn't a teenager yet was. Also still heeeeeeeeellllllllllllll no is this going to be in my wheel house. I am happy for him, but this also ain't me.
You made this week really easy for me.
