Losing Lustre has been in progress since August 2021, so it's been 14 months. I'm a hasty musician; many of my Concrete Castles efforts would often take a month to produce and release. Losing Lustre was about learning how to sing, yearning (and never reaching) perfection, and attempting ... read more

*NOTE: This will be my last (actual) review on AOTY indefinitely. Essentially, I'm not good at writing them and I don't enjoy it either, so there's not really any point to write reviews. I will always continue to update my ratings and should still be active community-wise, so feel free to send me a message or whatever.
This is embarrassing to say, but it has taken me over a year, to be precise 423 days, to get ... read more
I don't even really like Joji, so worse-joji does not fare well with me. Sorry Matt!
Innovation and experimentation are key. Without them, you have to create a better product than who you're imitating or there's no point.
I added this song to a playlist in my art class. Like 4 girls at the back shat on me for adding it, since "it's a TIkTok" song and apparently I only listen to songs that get popular on TikTok. Oh and they thought that the song just sucks.
Eat my ass. :)

Rihanna was generally enjoyed in the family, including Princess of China by Coldplay, the anthemic ... read more

Yo ConcreteCastles! I’ve been getting inspiration to make another community list in these past few days, and I’ve just thought of a question that kind of interested me to see people’s choices; what’s a song you know that sounds super happy but is actually sad, due to lyrical content and/or backstory? Feel free to ignore if you’re not interested in answering, but make sure to keep your selections limited to 1 or 2 picks if you do. Reasonings are optional :)
