I like the song, but I feel like the mix feels like it's conflicting the vibe of the song so it feels more bassy than the bright vocals. Cool new sound but not 100% successful.
edit: sounds better on phone
First track is really nice, not super into Nice Day.
It's not a terrible single but feels very flat in comparison to its inspirations, very H&M-ified / too clean for the style
Experimental and at times super fun, this album feels like a mixed bag overall after a really strong first half. Lots of replayability in the first 7 tracks or so though. Will rerate if I revisit.
It's a cool concept but I generally don't enjoy hip-hop primarily for the flow even though it matters a whole lot, so even though Cole has a really cool concept here of talking about his life backwards, he doesn't really say anything of significant note with that concept so I'm sort of confused why it's rated this high. Good for sure, but not seeing anything in here powerful enough to warrant a score close to the 90s.

Dreamy, exciting and catchy, Arlo Parks' return after 3 years is her best song since Collapsed in Sunbeams.
Super nice song but a little too clean and 🤓 sonically to absolutely love.
nvm its cute
Dig it, feels a little Frank Ocean-y and of course Sundress-esque. Complex and feels like it could be better in the album too.
A beautiful, if not in it's later half a bit faint, album from upcoming pop soul star Olivia Dean.
Got a co sign from K Dot (she’s Baby Keem)
Interesting— this sorta sounds like a preamble and not a single but it’s interesting for sure
a really beautiful project from redveil-- lush production, really high quality vocals, and diverse styles make this a beautiful listen throughout. if i had to critique it might just be that overall it's not all that unique, but it's just so well executed and fairly accessible, that it's a very enjoyable experience.
Fun leftovers project from reezy

"@niconsoli honestly i would love to see someone trying to create like a sort of modern blues -- I know R&B IS modern blues to a degree, but I mean more literally-- straight up blues with modern elements. His voice needs something to really get into like in the Sinners soundtrack"

"@groundedmusique Unfortunately musically I find it to be really really lacking, and even lyrically what he's saying is emotional but I don't think it's particularly good. Honestly it felt like an NF song to me. Obviously he talks about a lot of things that are really important to him but that doesn't equate to me finding the song good"
