Weekly Recap (July 29th - Aug 4th, 2024)

Discover Weekly

- Nathan James - Devil's Basement (It's alright.)

- BAYBE - Love & War (Same thing, it's alright. I loved her rapping when she did that. That was a pretty good scream at the end, though!)

- Bambie Thug - Headbang (This is so weird and alt, I love it!)

- Harpy - Inside Out (I sense a theme on today's list...)

- Zheani - You Saw

- King 810 - holy war (At first I wasn't that into it, but it kept getting better and better...)

- Will Ramos x Nik Nocturnal - Chokehold (🖤🤘)

- Halflives - Oblivion

- IKONIK x Siamese - Mistakes

- Burning Haze - Ignite (Another one that got better as it went on. There's still room for improvement, but they're already pretty good. All the elements are there and they're in the right places.)

- TOVA - GOD COMPLEX (It's... memorable. Interesting, different. Followed to hear more from them.)

- Code: Pandorum x GHØSTKID - DEATHLIST

- Siamese - Cities (They're on my list twice today... Spotify thinks this is my new favorite band now? ... It's not bad, I like the vocal sample a lot. Without it, it's be quite an average emo pop rock song...

There's a lot of metalcore on the list again... Sure, some of the music I listen to is metalcore, but this is... excessive to say the least. I don't listen to it this much? Right??

Also a lot of covers. Why?? They rarely match the level of the original and then I just end up disliking good artists because they either sound too much like the original (=just prove they can sing karaoke very well) or the song just sounds "wrong"... You'd think the algorithm would learn from me skipping most of them?

Release Radar

- HalaCG - Signed & Sealed (yey, rap!)

- Nik Nocturnal x Paula Carregosa - Come to Brazil (Feels like I'm already there ;D context for the people who don't know - Paula is Brazilian, she's Nik's wife.)

- Statik G x Nate Dogg - Our Gf (Of course you "won't tell [her] boyfriend", you're fucking his girl! Wtf is this hook, lyrics don't make any sense.)

- TWENTYTHREE x Istasha - WANDERING MAUSOLEUM

- Witchz - THE ALGORITHM (This is... different. I like it, though. Weird is always better than boring when it comes to music. -- When the EDM beat started, it started to sound more like Witchz.)

- SKYND - Violets are Blue (Not named after a criminal? The album cover says "The police will need dental records to identify you" - maybe it's about all the Jane Does and John Does and murderers that are not caught? -- Musically, a bit boring.)

- Sara - Valtameri ovella (Beautiful. Need to translate this for the other blog at some point.)

- Lacuna Coil x Lamb of God - Hosting the Shadow (Cool!)

- Sophie Powers - Obsessed (Grimes DJ Edit)

- Derivakat x Boaster - COMEBACK

- DESH x Young Fly x Azahriah - PANNONIA

- TOVA - LIGHT (This one started off a bit boring, but then swifted into something a bit more interesting about one minute in... Yup, I'll keep following them on Spotify. This shit's interesting!)

- Chelsea Wolfe - Tunnel Lights - ††† (Crosses) remix

- Endinos ft. Mac Lethal - Fruity (Idk what they mean by "fruity"... In Gen Z internet lingo, it means queer.)

-Kesha - JOYRIDE - Revved Up Remix (Catchy and dance-y)

- Vault 334 x Berried Alive - Melonhead (Wtf is this?? I love it, it's hilarious!! 😂)
