Single Review

My first single review! Gonna go through a few singles released recently as well as some I might’ve missed in the past couple weeks!

Frost Children - Lethal

A *little* late to this, but it’s so different from their usual stuff and I love it! Very indie rock esque and while it’s not like their last album, I’m very excited for their new record! 8.5/10

Lovejoy - Normal People Things

An evolution of their EP, which I loved, so take a guess at what I think? (I love it btw, if you even care) I love how they’re leaning more and more into the pop punk direction as it suits Wilbur’s voice so so well! They’ve gotten the pitching on his vocals perfect as well, not too autotuned but also not completely raw, which was a problem for me in the past (what can I say? I love super melodic stuff 🤯). Overall a great 9/10 on that one

I DON’T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - WHAT LOVE?

I’m so excited for new IDKHOW!! This is a good beginning to the album cycle! I love it, but I am really hoping for a bit more for the album. I think this sound could grow a lot and I hope it reflects on the record. Also Dallon’s high note? 🧑‍🍳💋 beautiful. Probably a 7.5/10 honestly. Hoping more comes out soon! Albums out in February so I have to wait 😔

AJR - Yes I’m a Mess

*I LIKE AJR I REALLY DO* but this song is just 👎👎. I’ve thought this album cycles been a bit weird and I’ve been really iffy on the singles, but this solidifies that I don’t think I’ll like this album. It sucks too cuz the cycle started SO STRONG with I won’t (probably my favorite song by them ever), but the DJ was just not for me, and the dumb song felt a little generic. Either way with this last single I’ve kinda lost faith in this record. Still gonna review it when it comes out and hopefully I like it. It’s hard to gauge the fan reception because of all the backlash from critics and general audiences, but I think I’m in the minority of fans, which is good! Glad people can enjoy something I can’t. 4/10 😕
