Anslee Davidson - "Sing About You" (CLD , #1) vs ††† (Crosses) - "Holier" (Lordeftones, #6)
James summed it up pretty well, their newest material isn't as strong as their debut, which I hold in very high regard, but their latest EP is still really good and this is one of my favorites from it along with Vivien. As for Sing About You, didn't care for it much, sounded very generic.
Taylor Swift - "Lavender Haze" (M5, #1) vs Ice Spice - "In Ha Mood" (rnb, #6)
I was pretty shocked when I checked my phone while listening to this song and seeing that it was Taylor Swift. This really sounds nothing like her. I can count the amount of Swift songs that I actually like on one hand but this might just be her best song. As for Ice Spice, I see she's the latest viral trend and like most of them, I don't get it. She doesn't sound great, and I don't think she has much different to offer from her contemporaries other than having a funny hairdo.
Phillip Phillips - "Dancing with Your Shadows" (Blurry, #1) vs Charles - "I Know You Love Me, But Do You Think of Me, Romantically" (deca, #6)
Phillip Phillips in 2023? Didn't expect that. His music feels manufactured, I just can't get behind it. This song is definitely better than his obnoxious hits, though. Charles was a very pleasant discovery, on the other hand.
Old Dominion - "Memory Lane" (HeyHeyHey, #1) vs Taylor Edwards - "8 Months" (CLD, #6)
Uhhhhhh I don't know this is a toss-up. They both have the most generic country voices in all the worst ways. I guess Old Dominion annoyed me less even though it had cliche country lyrics.
Gang of Youths - "the kingdom is within you" (samo, #1) vs Machine Girl - "Glass Ocean" (Khan, #6)
Gang of Youths are always solid but never spectacular. Machine Girl was fine but got old after a while.
DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - "Brave" (Khan, #1) vs Rema with Selena Gomez - "Calm Down" (SabrinaFan, #6)
And the award for worst hook of the round goes to Calm Down. Never heard of Rema before hopefully not again. Brave was fine, but nothing special.
slowthai - "Yum" (filthy, #1) vs BENEE - "Green Honda" (Gonza'90, #6)
This is it. This is the song I'm going to be bumping all spring, probably summer. This is a banger and a half. An absolute jam. Slowthai is good too, if a bit abrasive. I get it, but not one I'll be going back to.
Connor Smith - "Creek Will Rise" (bigfan101, #1) vs JD Clayton - "Different Kind of Simple Life" (recordyear, #6)
Yeah I don't know, I can just really do without the generic country songs.
1. Green Honda (Highest Disc.) 2. Holier 3. Lavender Haze 4. I Know You Love Me... 5. The Kingdom Is Within You 6. Yum 7. Brave 8. Glass Ocean 9. Dancing With Your Shadow 10. In Ha Mood 11. Different Kind of Simple Life 12. Creek Will Rise 13. Sing About You 14. Memory Lane 15. 8 Months 16. Calm Down

because i should be studying instead of this rn i won't do comments as i'm going through the list for now but i will still say things afterwards if i have anything to
Anslee Davidson - "Sing About You" (CLD , #1) vs ††† (Crosses) - "Holier" (Lordeftones, #6)
Taylor Swift - "Lavender Haze" (M5, #1) vs Ice Spice - "In Ha Mood" (rnb, #6)
Phillip Phillips - "Dancing with Your Shadows" (Blurry, #1) vs Charles - "I Know You Love Me, But Do You Think of Me, Romantically" (deca, #6)
Old Dominion - "Memory Lane" (HeyHeyHey, #1) vs Taylor Edwards - "8 Months" (CLD, #6) - this matchup and such like this one and others in the future will always bring me to how i'll probably won't remember 85% of the songs here that aren't my own after the fixture is over. but 8 months can advance and hopefully let up with a stronger pick of mine
Gang of Youths - "the kingdom is within you" (samo, #1) vs Machine Girl - "Glass Ocean" (Khan, #6)
DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - "Brave" (Khan, #1) vs Rema with Selena Gomez - "Calm Down" (SabrinaFan, #6) - this is the first matchup where i know both songs well enough. i jive with brave, it's well-minded with the execution it brings. i only knew what calm down was by name at least a week ago and that didn't prop up my opinion of it in any way
slowthai - "Yum" (filthy, #1) vs BENEE - "Green Honda" (Gonza'90, #6)
Connor Smith - "Creek Will Rise" (bigfan101, #1) vs JD Clayton - "Different Kind of Simple Life" (recordyear, #6) - i'm more of a stendy/bunny guy myself

{My reaction to the song selections}Wow. I knew that at least two of my songs were likely to be submitted by someone else, and if three of my songs were stolen then my joke song would have been selected. But dang, GP, BB, and wrip all submitted "Echolalia" as an extra. But honestly, I chose that Yves Tumor song as well as Yaeji's "For Granted" based on my own personal experiences.
Anslee Davidson - "Sing About You" (CLD , #1) (2.5/5) vs ††† (Crosses) - "Holier" (Lordeftones, #6) (LOW 3.5/5) "Sing About You" is definitely a country song that doesn't have the qualities to make it stand out. Crosses' "Holier" is the easy winner and I can see Crosses' style growing on me moving forward. Taylor Swift - "Lavender Haze" (M5, #1) (HIGH 3/5) vs Ice Spice - "Sheinhamood" (rnb, #6) (3/5) Ice Spice's rapping and the repetitive hook are somewhat fun, but "Lavender Haze" is the higher-quality song here. I like it more than "Anti-Hero" but.... no no no, I am still not a Swiftie. Phillip Phillips - "Dancing with Your Shadows" (Blurry, #1) (HIGH 3/5) vs Charles - "I Know You Love Me, But Do You Think of Me, Romantically" (deca, #6) (LOW 4/5) Phillip Phillips' song is pretty decent pop rock. Charles' hypnagogic pop song immediately clicked with me, although the beat sounds a bit rough around the edges. Old Dominion - "Memory Lane" (HeyHeyHey, #1) (2.5/5) vs Taylor Edwards - "8 Months" (CLD, #6) (2.5/5) Two country songs that don't sound terrible but mostly lack standout qualities, so this is a close call. Gang of Youths - "the kingdom is within you" (samo, #1) (3.5/5) vs Machine Girl - "Glass Ocean" (Khan, #6) (LOW 4.5/5) "the kingdom is within you" is an interesting song about Pasifika people and I do enjoy it. On the other hand, I have listened to Machine Girl's videogame soundtrack and just about every song on Neon White: Part 1 kicks ass! DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - "Brave" (Khan, #1) (LOW 4/5) vs Rema with Selena Gomez - "Calm Down" ( DJ SabrinaFan the Teenage DJ, #6) (2.5/5) A fun DJStTDJ track with a good message, although not as strong as the ones I've ranked highly in rankdowns ("Charmed", "Call You", "Dance Now"). As for the hit song "Calm Down", yes I've heard it before. I like the production to some extent but I don't care for the singing. slowthai - "Yum" (filthy, #1) (4/5) vs BENEE - "Green Honda" (Gonza'90, #6) (LOW 3.5/5) "Green Honda" is a fun jam with some weird elements. But "Yum" ... woah. It's a bit unsettling but the production goes HARD. Connor Smith - "Creek Will Rise" (bigfan101, #1) (LOW 3/5) vs JD Clayton - "Different Kind of Simple Life" (recordyear, #6) (LOW 3.5/5) "Creek Will Rise" hits harder than the previous country songs in this group, but "Different Kind of Simple Life" is the country song here that better suits my tastes.

Old Dominion - "Memory Lane" (HeyHeyHey, #1) vs Taylor Edwards - "8 Months" (CLD, #6) - this one hurts, but I have to keep my pick going!
Gang of Youths - "the kingdom is within you" (samo, #1) vs Machine Girl - "Glass Ocean" (Khan, #6) - not the best match, but still better than the second from the bottom
DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - "Brave" (Khan, #1) vs Rema with Selena Gomez - "Calm Down" (SabrinaFan, #6) - I think both are not bad! I usually don't love instrumental-focused song, but I'd definitely take DJ Sabrina over Machine Girl.
slowthai - "Yum" (filthy, #1) vs BENEE - "Green Honda" (Gonza'90, #6) - did not like either of these.
Conner Smith - "Creek Will Rise" (bigfan101, #1) vs JD Clayton - "Different Kind of Simple Life" (recordyear, #6) - both are good, would have voted for JD if it was against some other songs in this list.

Anslee Davidson - "Sing About You" (CLD , #1) {6} vs ††† (Crosses) - "Holier" (Lordeftones, #6) {7.7} really solid song from crosses
Taylor Swift - "Lavender Haze" (M5, #1) {4.2} vs Ice Spice - "In Ha Mood" (rnb, #6) {6.7} the goofy ass duck honks & pitch-shifted vocals in lavender haze's production are so annoying to me it completely ruins the song i don't find ice spice all that interesting as a rapper but she makes solid enough music
Phillip Phillips - "Dancing with Your Shadows" (Blurry, #1) {6.3} vs Charles - "I Know You Love Me, But Do You Think of Me, Romantically" (deca, #6) {8.3} well the phillip phillips song is certainly an improvement over his 2 big hits, but the charles track was much more up my alley
Old Dominion - "Memory Lane" (HeyHeyHey, #1) {5.4} vs Taylor Edwards - "8 Months" (CLD, #6) {5.7}
Gang of Youths - "the kingdom is within you" (samo, #1) {8} vs Machine Girl - "Glass Ocean" (Khan, #6) {8.2} unfortunate matchup
DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - "Brave" (Khan, #1) {7.5} vs Rema with Selena Gomez - "Calm Down" (SabrinaFan, #6) {5.3}
slowthai - "Yum" (filthy, #1) {9.2} vs BENEE - "Green Honda" (Gonza'90, #6) {7.2} slowthai is an amazing talent
Conner Smith - "Creek Will Rise" (bigfan101, #1) {6} vs JD Clayton - "Different Kind of Simple Life" (recordyear, #6) {7.5}

I didn't end up submitting any songs for this bc I didn't know if I'd have the time to vote a heap, but I'll try and vote on a few matchups if I get the time
Anslee Davidson - "Sing About You" (CLD , #1) vs ††† (Crosses) - "Holier" (Lordeftones, #6) both were alright, I think I liked the Crosses song slightly more in the end (echoing the sentiments that it isn't nearly as good as "The Epilogue" though)
Taylor Swift - "Lavender Haze" (M5, #1) vs Ice Spice - "In Ha Mood" (rnb, #6) I don't mind Ice Spice but I think there was a bit more to the Taylor song here, "In Ha Mood" could've used an extra verse imo
Phillip Phillips - "Dancing with Your Shadows" (Blurry, #1) vs Charles - "I Know You Love Me, But Do You Think of Me, Romantically" (deca, #6) The Charles song is more up my alley, really good stuff.
Old Dominion - "Memory Lane" (HeyHeyHey, #1) vs Taylor Edwards - "8 Months" (CLD, #6) "8 Months" was quite pleasant, but "Memory Lane" is probably the best thing I've heard from these guys, I really liked how warm it felt ig
Gang of Youths - "the kingdom is within you" (samo, #1) vs Machine Girl - "Glass Ocean" (Khan, #6) I'd probably vote for "Glass Ocean" in a fair few of these matchups, but TKIWY is probably my favourite song from "angel in realtime", something about the way the chorus sweeps me up just makes me feel so good tbh
DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - "Brave" (Khan, #1) vs Rema with Selena Gomez - "Calm Down" (SabrinaFan, #6) After reading some of the previous comments here I was expecting the worst from "Calm Down", but it was totally fine, albeit not really my thing. "Brave" is probably my favourite discovery from this set, I've been on a massive house kick lately and DJ Sabrina never disappoints
slowthai - "Yum" (filthy, #1) vs BENEE - "Green Honda" (Gonza'90, #6) Closest matchup of the set by far, both of these were good. I think I juuuust prefer "Green Honda" but I'd be totally fine with either of these advancing
Connor Smith - "Creek Will Rise" (bigfan101, #1) vs JD Clayton - "Different Kind of Simple Life" (recordyear, #6) "Creek Will Rise" was a bit better than most of the other country songs in this set, but it doesn't really hold a candle to "Different Kind Of Life"

Most of my votes this time around will most likely be without a ton of comments this time around, sorry!
Anslee Davidson - "Sing About You" (CLD , #1) vs ††† (Crosses) - "Holier" (Lordeftones, #6) Both were quite nice!
Taylor Swift - "Lavender Haze" (M5, #1) vs Ice Spice - "In Ha Mood" (rnb, #6)
Phillip Phillips - "Dancing with Your Shadows" (Blurry, #1) vs Charles - "I Know You Love Me, But Do You Think of Me, Romantically" (deca, #6) "Dancing with Your Shadows" is the best thing I've heard from him since... "Miles"?
Old Dominion - "Memory Lane" (HeyHeyHey, #1) vs Taylor Edwards - "8 Months" (CLD, #6)
Gang of Youths - "the kingdom is within you" (samo, #1) vs Machine Girl - "Glass Ocean" (Khan, #6) I feel like I need to check out the Gang of Youths' album, I've liked everything I've heard so far from that one ("the angel of 8th ave." "in the wake of your leave", and now this one). "Glass Ocean" was a great first listen as well.
DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - "Brave" (Khan, #1) vs Rema with Selena Gomez - "Calm Down" (SabrinaFan, #6)
slowthai - "Yum" (filthy, #1) vs BENEE - "Green Honda" (Gonza'90, #6)
Conner Smith - "Creek Will Rise" (bigfan101, #1) vs JD Clayton - "Different Kind of Simple Life" (recordyear, #6) I really like both, but "Creek Will Rise" is a banger I fear.

Anslee Davidson - "Sing About You" (CLD , #1) vs ††† (Crosses) - "Holier" (Lordeftones, #6) Sing About You is a better country radio fodder. Not much innovation or identity there but it's pleasant enough. None of the Crosses songs I have heard can beat Telepathy, including Holier. I find the melody and production weaker than I hoped for.
Taylor Swift - "Lavender Haze" (M5, #1) vs Ice Spice - "In Ha Mood" (rnb, #6) Surprisingly close match. I like the lowkey vibe of Lavender Haze but some of the sound loops can be annoying. In Ha Mood is pretty fun. I don't think Ice Spice will have a sustainable career but her delivery is more unique than other mainstream female rappers.
Phillip Phillips - "Dancing with Your Shadows" (Blurry, #1) vs Charles - "I Know You Love Me, But Do You Think of Me, Romantically" (deca, #6) So Phillip Phillips does pop rock now I guess. It's not bad but feels generic and a bit trend-chasing. Um that Charles song was released in 2016? It's decent lo-fi vibe with characteristic bubbly sound effects but I doubt I will go back much.
Old Dominion - "Memory Lane" (HeyHeyHey, #1) vs Taylor Edwards - "8 Months" (CLD, #6) Decent wordplay in Memory Lane, but I don't care the melody which feels a bit disjointed. 8 Months brings snappy sound, token banjo and heavy vocal correction from modern country pop hits which I don't particularly care for.
Gang of Youths - "the kingdom is within you" (samo, #1) vs Machine Girl - "Glass Ocean" (Khan, #6) Strongest matchup in this set. I like how 2-step is used in the kingdom is within you to reflect the musical influence from the band members, and how they make use of the fact that lead singer's father being an immigrant. Glass Ocean is a really cool video game music that reflects its name well. Actually added to my favorite songs playlist too. It just happens to be weaker to the other song here.
DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - "Brave" (Khan, #1) vs Rema with Selena Gomez - "Calm Down" (SabrinaFan, #6) I am not among the biggest DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ fans in Pulse, much less when they try to shift towards Madeon-like sound, but it is still a solid piece of music for the genre. The hook in Calm Down sounds annoying (the endless repetitions!) and I am surprised this turns into a sleeper hit this year.
slowthai - "Yum" (filthy, #1) vs BENEE - "Green Honda" (Gonza'90, #6) Feel like the shifts to abrasive genres for both artists don't show off either's greatest strength tbh. Yum is horrifically confessional but I am quite fatigued from this sound. BENEE sounds even flatter in Green Honda and that's the problem I had in the weaker songs of her album and the follow-up EP. It's the one that I might go back out of these two though.
Conner Smith - "Creek Will Rise" (bigfan101, #1) vs JD Clayton - "Different Kind of Simple Life" (recordyear, #6) Creek Will Rise is Conner Smith's best song I have heard from various games, but I still find him pretty anonymous and judging from his radio history, I am not sure whether Valory knows how to market him. Doesn't help that it borrows Dierks Bentley's What Was I Thinkin' too much. Different Kind Of Simple Life needs quite some time to get there, but the chorus is one of the most powerful I have heard in indie country releases this year.

Anslee Davidson - "Sing About You" (CLD , #1) vs ††† (Crosses) - "Holier" (Lordeftones, #6)
- Holier is a bit more up my alley but Sing About You was nice too!
Taylor Swift - "Lavender Haze" (M5, #1) vs Ice Spice - "In Ha Mood" (rnb, #6)
- Lavender Haze is definitely one of the few highlights from Midnights, but In Ha Mood is a more fun song.
Phillip Phillips - "Dancing with Your Shadows" (Blurry, #1) vs Charles - "I Know You Love Me, But Do You Think of Me, Romantically" (deca, #6)
- “Dancing” sounds so different than the other songs he is known for. Solid indie rock song! This second song is so fun, I think I prefer it just a bit.
Old Dominion - "Memory Lane" (HeyHeyHey, #1) vs Taylor Edwards - "8 Months" (CLD, #6)
- These are both really pleasant and probably would rank well for me on a country year end list. I think 8 Months wins for me but both are close.
Gang of Youths - "the kingdom is within you" (samo, #1) vs Machine Girl - "Glass Ocean" (Khan, #6)
- I’ve liked other GoY songs more than this but it’s still a pretty song. Glass Ocean is interesting, it sort of reminds me of music from the game Geometry Dash lol
DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - "Brave" (Khan, #1) vs Rema with Selena Gomez - "Calm Down" (SabrinaFan, #6)
- Dj Sabrina make a bad song challenge (impossible)… Brave may not be her best song but still it slaps. Calm Down is nice and I’ll probably give it a nice position on my Hot 100 list but it’s nothing extremely special to me.
slowthai - "Yum" (filthy, #1) vs BENEE - "Green Honda" (Gonza'90, #6)
- What the- the beat in Yum is insane omg. I haven’t heard the album yet but this already feels like a highlight to me. I heard Green Honda when it first was released, and it is a bop too. I really love both of these and wish they both could advance 😩 I’ll give slowthai a vote but both of these slap.
Conner Smith - "Creek Will Rise" (bigfan101, #1) vs JD Clayton - "Different Kind of Simple Life" (recordyear, #6)
- I really enjoy the upbeat nature of Creek Will Rise, it might be one of my favorites from Conner so far. JD’s voice though is really pretty, and this song has a nice Americana feel.

Anslee Davidson - "Sing About You" (CLD , #1) vs ††† (Crosses) - "Holier" (Lordeftones, #6) Not wild about Sing About You but Holier is just so underwhelming for Chino
Taylor Swift - "Lavender Haze" (M5, #1) vs Ice Spice - "In Ha Mood" (rnb, #6) Tight but both baddies
Phillip Phillips - "Dancing with Your Shadows" (Blurry, #1) vs Charles - "I Know You Love Me, But Do You Think of Me, Romantically" (deca, #6) First fave discovery of this. I love the DJ Sabrina-type vibe but she makes it her own
Old Dominion - "Memory Lane" (HeyHeyHey, #1) vs Taylor Edwards - "8 Months" (CLD, #6)
Gang of Youths - "the kingdom is within you" (samo, #1) vs Machine Girl - "Glass Ocean" (Khan, #6)
DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - "Brave" (Khan, #1) vs Rema with Selena Gomez - "Calm Down" (SabrinaFan, #6) I actually quite like Calm Donw more than most but yeah no contest. This actually grew on me as I didn't initially care for it when it first came out but the nostalgic vibe is fun
slowthai - "Yum" (filthy, #1) vs BENEE - "Green Honda" (Gonza'90, #6) Fuck, this is the first tough battle. I would've easily voted for Green Honda on a regular day but I love Yum and slowthai's album a ton, I just adore the energy of this track
Conner Smith - "Creek Will Rise" (bigfan101, #1) vs JD Clayton - "Different Kind of Simple Life" (recordyear, #6) I mean for checklist country it's not the worst but not anything special. I quite like the neotraditional style of JD Clayton, interested in hearing a full album now

Anslee Davidson - "Sing About You" (CLD , #1) vs ††† (Crosses) - "Holier" (Lordeftones, #6)
Sing About You has a great groove to it, I love the instrumental and melody a lot, but it's a pretty basic kiss-off and the vocals turn me off it somewhat. Lucky for it that it's up against one of Crosses's least interesting songs ever.
Taylor Swift - "Lavender Haze" (M5, #1) vs Ice Spice - "In Ha Mood" (rnb, #6)
Two songs with cool vocal performances from the artists, but with kinda dull instrumentals that hold them back.
Phillip Phillips - "Dancing with Your Shadows" (Blurry, #1) vs Charles - "I Know You Love Me, But Do You Think of Me, Romantically" (deca, #6)
Higher than my expectations for Phillip Phillips, so that's something, but that guitar lick at the end of the chorus is just ugly. Meanwhile, WHAT are those sound effects in the Charles song? Whatever they are, I love them.
Old Dominion - "Memory Lane" (HeyHeyHey, #1) vs Taylor Edwards - "8 Months" (CLD, #6) Man, I am really just a sucker for the way Memory Lane builds up in the bridge, and for the nostalgia bait songs.
Gang of Youths - "the kingdom is within you" (samo, #1) vs Machine Girl - "Glass Ocean" (Khan, #6)
I'll admit that I was specifically looking for video game music when I added Glass Ocean to my list, but I still love it. Machine Girl's propulsive production clearly doesn't wane even when it's on a soundtrack tie-in. Simple yet exciting all five minutes through.
DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - "Brave" (Khan, #1) vs Rema with Selena Gomez - "Calm Down" (SabrinaFan, #6) Oh yeah, this does sound like Madeon, doesn't it? Well, it's all the more better for it! Doesn't help much that I'm already cooler than most pop fans on the Calm Down remix. I just don't think it's THAT good of a Selena Gomez performance.
slowthai - "Yum" (filthy, #1) vs BENEE - "Green Honda" (Gonza'90, #6)
Oh this was a tough one, but Green Honda has that extra kick of wacky fun that I love. Always enjoy a song that embraces its weirdness.
Connor Smith - "Creek Will Rise" (bigfan101, #1) vs JD Clayton - "Different Kind of Simple Life" (recordyear, #6) It's just very cool. This was another close round for sure.

Anslee Davidson - "Sing About You" (CLD , #1) vs ††† (Crosses) - "Holier" (Lordeftones, #6) I'm not a huge fan of the Crosses side project but this wasn't bad. "Sing About You" doesn't really break out of the "mid country" pack.
Taylor Swift - "Lavender Haze" (M5, #1) vs Ice Spice - "In Ha Mood" (rnb, #6) Ice Spice has yet to click with me despite her obvious skill with flow, sorry.
Phillip Phillips - "Dancing with Your Shadows" (Blurry, #1) vs Charles - "I Know You Love Me, But Do You Think of Me, Romantically" (deca, #6) Phillip Phillips doing pop The War on Drugs was not what I expected to hear in 2023. Might be the best song I've heard from him. Charles' song was a little too messy for me.
Old Dominion - "Memory Lane" (HeyHeyHey, #1) vs Taylor Edwards - "8 Months" (CLD, #6) Tractor duel! Old Dominion wins this one.
Gang of Youths - "the kingdom is within you" (samo, #1) vs Machine Girl - "Glass Ocean" (Khan, #6) If "in the wake of your leave" didn't exist, this would have been my favorite song from angel in realtime. "Glass Ocean" wasn't bad though.
DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - "Brave" (Khan, #1) vs Rema with Selena Gomez - "Calm Down" (SabrinaFan, #6) DJ Sabrina has never 100% clicked with me but this is the closest she's come so far. Very lively and fun track.
slowthai - "Yum" (filthy, #1) vs BENEE - "Green Honda" (Gonza'90, #6) "Yum" was incredibly interesting. Not sure if I like it, but it was eye-opening unique.
Connor Smith - "Creek Will Rise" (bigfan101, #1) vs JD Clayton - "Different Kind of Simple Life" (recordyear, #6) Tractor duel #2. Gonna side with the underdog for this one.

This is one of my favorites from the new CD. It's so dreamy. The Ice Spice one is cute but nothing I would come back to.
Phillip Phillips - "Dancing with Your Shadows" (Blurry, #1) vs Charles - "I Know You Love Me, But Do You Think of Me, Romantically" (deca, #6)
I actually like a Phillip Phillips song! I thought "Home" was one of the most shameful things ever so I never thought I would ever give him a chance again. This is pure 80s synthpop bliss.

This is a nice discovery, aside from the cute artist name. It's fun. Sadly, the Rema/Selena is just too basic for my liking. Lyrically "Brave" may not have much going for it, but it works.
