WALRUS - Greatest female vocalists of 2016 revealed - Page 6

This is basically modern Motown, and I love it. Everything about this song is really well executed; the vocals are fantastic, the drum rhythm is interesting, the guitar strumming is simple but effective, and the inclusion of the upright bass is REALLY cool. More than that, it's an infectious song, and a guaranteed mood raiser. The instrumental break and subsequent guitar solo are super cool, as is the alternation of time signatures. The overall effect is something that it's impossible for me to hate.

This, of course, means that the gold medal and 14 points go to Nick Royale.

Crying - Premonitory Dream

I wasn't sure about how I was going to feel about this one at the outset - the intro is definitely interesting. The entry of the rest of the instruments, however, had me immediately hooked, and the rest of the song is excellent. It goes hard while also being uplifting. The vocals, though well-done, are understated and mesh with the rest of the song, creating a piece more focused on the whole than any one part. The instruments are all constantly doing something different, keeping the track fresh, and it constantly regrabs your attention with something or other. I'll definitely be seeking out more by this group. Great pick.

I'm sorry. But that's garbage. Fountains of Lame material.

I mean, wp Nick, as far as the mod goes.

But that's an irredeemably bad track. Horrible.

Alright, I'm going to bump RAORoman up to 4th, meaning he'll actually be getting 7 points.

Chairlift - Polymorphing (youpak this one, probably)

Quote:

This makes a lot more sense than what I originally judged lol. I really like how it opens - the laid-back tone is nice, her voice is nice to listen to, and the backing track has a generally cool mood to it. You know I'm a sucker for horns, and the sax in this is very good. Had there been more progression in the song, this may have made podium - unfortunately, the song kind of stagnates and peters out after a few minutes, which is my biggest knock against it. A good song, I just wish it did a bit more.

correcting scores now

Chairlift, I liked Romeo off the same album as well.

Would have been hilarious if you still gave him last place.
