Big Blood - "1000 Times" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #1) (strong 6 to light 7) vs Cardi B - "Enough (Miami)" (keatonzab, #6) (decent to strong 6)
Had this Big Blood song on my discover weekly a couple weeks ago. I like it enough, I like the 60s girl group sound and the slight country twang makes it interesting. Not in love with it, but like it enough to check out some of their earlier work. Decent Cardi B song too. Not something I haven't heard her do before, but I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Shygirl f/ Cosha - "thicc" (lyhom, #1) (strong 7 to light 8) vs Sierra Ferrell - "Why Haven't You Loved Me Yet" (recordyear, #6) (decent to strong 7)
I really liked this Sierra Ferrell song & her new album is near the top of my planning list for the year, but Thicc was very close to making my 12 submissions so it's strong competition.
Addison Rae - "I got it bad" (woods, #1) (strong 6 to light 7) vs Estoy Bien - "Frente A Frente" (MoD, #6) (decent to strong 7)
Didn't think that Addison Rae would be any competition for a cool emo/post-hardcore song, but AR is a pretty solid EP. Frente a Frente was a better discovery though, I like this one more than the other song I had heard from this album.
Kacey Musgraves - "The Architect" (SabrinaFan, #1) (decent to strong 6) vs KNOWER - "Do Hot Girls Like Chords?" (zippy, #6) (strong 6 to light 7)
Have been on the fence about whether Deeper Well will be worth the time to listen to. The Architect isn't the best song I've heard from Kacey, but it's pleasant enough. Has won me over a little bit. I like Do Hot Girls Like Chords a small bit more though, it's grown on me a little since I first heard it, but still not my favorite song from Knower Forever.
Ryan Hurd - "Midwest Rock & Roll" (CLD, #1) (light to decent 5) vs Nothing More - "IF IT DOESN'T HURT" (macattack, #6) (decent to strong 5)
Midwest Rock & Roll is interesting...I didn't like it at all towards the beginning, but it did win me over a little bit towards the end. Vocals are bad & kinda sounds like Creeps, but I think the alt rock edge is sort of interestingly implemented. If It Doesn't Hurt is far from the best song I've heard from Nothing More, nothing from their most recent album has been great, but the chorus is pretty standardly good for them. Idk, neither of these does much for me.
Maddie & Tae - "Heart They Didn't Break" (bigfan101, #1) (light to decent 6) vs ANOHNI and the Johnsons - "Can't" (willapted33, #6) (light to decent 8)
Heart They Didn't Break is the sort of inoffensive country pop that I don't find too interesting that I expect in droves in these tournaments. Can't's the best song from My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross, and I like that album a lot. One of my favs in this round.
The Marías - "Run Your Mouth" (Gonza'90, #1) (light to decent 7) vs Janelle Monáe - "Champagne Shit" (woods, #6) (decent to strong 6)
This Marias song was a pretty cool first listen, I like it more than Hush (I think they had another song from their last album that I liked, but it escapes me now). Sounds very much like "H&M store radio"-core. But in a good way. Haven't been too impressed by what I've heard from the new Janelle album, but I do like this song more than Lipstick Lover and uh the other one I know.
DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ - "Anything Lost (Can Be Found Again)" (samo, #1) (decent to strong 7) vs Juliana Gattas - "Un Taxi al Infierno" (Gonza'90, #6) (decent to strong 6)
I am a DJ Sabrina fan, but I also understand the haters' mindset of "every DJ Sabrina song sounds the same" cause like, it is true. I want to say if you've heard one DJ Sabrina song you've heard them all, but that doesn't really explain why I really like some DJ Sabrina songs and really dislike some others. I guess like, I get a club on a sub every time I go to Firehouse Subs, but sometimes it hits really right and sometimes it's so underwhelming even though it's the same sandwich, right? Except I guess different sandwich artists are making it each time I go, it's always a different sandwich artist, not always DJ Sabrina making my club on a sub. Have I prolonged this metaphor enough. I like this particular club on a sub. I have listened to Maquillada en la Cama, I'm in support of Argentinian synthpop in the RYM top 3 of the year. Unfortunately I didn't like the album on that much, I don't love her voice, but this is one of the stronger tracks from it.
Favorite discoveries: Why Haven't You Loved Me Yet, Anything Lost (Can Be Found Again), Frente a Frente, Run Your Mouth

Big Blood - "1000 Times" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #1) [3.65/5] vs Cardi B - "Enough (Miami)" (keatonzab, #6) [2.93/5]
- Loved the sound of "1000 Times". It got a little repetitive at times to me, but I dug this one a good bit. I could see it growing further on me. Nice discovery to start off. I'm usually not really into Cardi B, but I liked this one! Good flow and beat here. Going with "1000 Times" here, but pleasantly surprised that Cardi put up more of a fight for this than I thought, lol.
Shygirl f/ Cosha - "thicc" (lyhom, #1) [3.69/5] vs Sierra Ferrell - "Why Haven't You Loved Me Yet" (recordyear, #6) [3.67/5]
- "thicc" goes off. Loved the beat on this one. I liked "Why Haven't You Loved Me Yet" a good bit too. This one is really close, but I'm going with "thicc" here.
Addison Rae - "I got it bad" (woods, #1) [3.27/5] vs Estoy Bien - "Frente A Frente" (MoD, #6) [3.87/5]
- There's some parts of the beat that give me late 90s pop vibes that I really dig. This is super catchy. There's a bit of genericness with it, but it's a bop nonetheless. I sometimes have a language barrier with songs in other languages that make it harder for me to fully get into even if I like everything about it, but MoD tends to find ones that break right through that. This was awesome.
Kacey Musgraves - "The Architect" (SabrinaFan, #1) [3.57/5] vs KNOWER - "Do Hot Girls Like Chords?" (zippy, #6) [3.24/5]
- I like the storytelling to "The Architect" a lot. I've always really loved Kacey's voice and her writing, but I've also always have thought she's a wee bit overrated – there's just something with her music I could never fully get into even if she has really good qualities. This drags on a wee bit, but I do like it a good bit. I wasn't super into "Do Hot Girls Like Chords?", but the last minute was really cool. I've listened to KNOWER before, but don't remember how I've felt about their other songs since I know they're a bit more quirky, lol.
Ryan Hurd - "Midwest Rock & Roll" (CLD, #1) [3.83/5] vs Nothing More - "IF IT DOESN'T HURT" (macattack, #6) [2.95/5]
- I had "Midwest Rock & Roll" originally as my #5 before I made my list, but last minute I decided to drop it down. Glad it still got to be represented. "Love in a Bar" is my favorite song from Ryan (and one of my all-time faves), so I love hearing him go back to this more harder tinged guitar-led music. Curious to see how his career develops from here on out since he got dropped from his major label after his team failed him time and time again with awful single choices, lol. I really liked Nothing More's The Stories We Tell Ourselves era, but never really cared for anything they ever released. For some reason that era hit. I like this parts of this, but don't really care for the bridge. I think it sort of falls short in general for me.
Maddie & Tae - "Heart They Didn't Break" (bigfan101, #1) [3.11/5] vs ANOHNI and the Johnsons - "Can't" (willapted33, #6) [3.21/5]
- "Heart They Didn't Break" was nice and pleasant. Usually Maddie & Tae have nice music but never really have gotten into them. I wasn't super sure how I felt about "Can't". I like the vibe, but the vocal was kinda taking me out in the beginning. Once the music started kicking in, I started to enjoy it more and more. I could see it growing more on me with future listens.
The Marías - "Run Your Mouth" (Gonza'90, #1) [3.74/5] vs Janelle Monáe - "Champagne Shit" (woods, #6) [2.68/5]
- "Run Your Mouth" is growing on me more with each listen. Love the vibe of it. I've never really been into Janelle Monáe, and this is the same for me. It's alright but nothing amazing.
DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ - "Anything Lost (Can Be Found Again)" (samo, #1) [2.70/5] vs Juliana Gattas - "Un Taxi al Infierno" (Gonza'90, #6) [3.64/5]
- I long for the day DJ Sabrina brings something fresh to the table. I'm so over them lmao. I'll always say their music is great if you're a first time listener, but this is my 11th different DJ Sabrina track I've heard, and it sounds the exact same as the other 10 I've listened to. I literally had to check to see if I've heard this one already. I dug "Un Taxi al Infierno"! Really great production on it. Had me bopping all the way through.

I am not planning to dedicate as much time as I did in last year's March Madness evaluating these songs. Still, I plan to give each song I haven't heard before at least two listens and share my thoughts. Big Blood - "1000 Times" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #1) vs Cardi B - "Enough (Miami)" (keatonzab, #6) 1000 Times is an interesting psychedelic track that could grow on me if I spend more time with this band. The Cardi B song has a decent flow and beat. I can't help but think this is a better choice than another particular rap song that could have been submitted. Shygirl f/ Cosha - "thicc" (lyhom, #1) vs Sierra Ferrell - "Why Haven't You Loved Me Yet" (recordyear, #6) Okay, this Sierra Ferrell song is easily my favorite of the country songs in this set. However, thicc is a house banger that is very much up my alley. Addison Rae - "I got it bad" (woods, #1) vs Estoy Bien - "Frente A Frente" (MoD, #6)I participated in woods' mini rankdown for Addison Rae's EP and this song won it. It's fairly enjoyable but not really my favorite style of pop. Frente A Frente is great pick from Chile and one of my favorite discoveries in this set. Kacey Musgraves - "The Architect" (SabrinaFan, #1) vs KNOWER - "Do Hot Girls Like Chords?" (zippy, #6)I am a fan of KNOWER and since The Abyss and Real Nice Moment were submitted for the previous two Madnesses, I thought this song should also be given a shot. What I enjoy the most about this song is the chorus and the guitar solo. I haven't heard the Kacey Musgraves album and The Architect has a pleasant sound. I'm probably going to vote for at least one of the other Kacey Musgraves songs moving forward. Ryan Hurd - "Midwest Rock & Roll" (CLD, #1) vs Nothing More - "IF IT DOESN'T HURT" (macattack, #6)Midwest Rock & Roll sounds like something I'd hear on the radio that wouldn't grab my attention but it's tolerable. IF IT DOESN'T HURT is more compelling and enjoyable although not something I'd listen to often. Maddie & Tae - "Heart They Didn't Break" (bigfan101, #1) vs ANOHNI and the Johnsons - "Can't" (willapted33, #6)Heart They Didn't Break is a serviceable country song while Can't is one of those songs that starts out fairly enjoyable then gets better and more interesting as it progresses. The Marías - "Run Your Mouth" (Gonza'90, #1) vs Janelle Monáe - "Champagne Shit" (woods, #6) Run Your Mouth is actually in my Discover Weekly this week and yes it's pretty good. Champagne Shit is enjoyable but I know Janelle Monáe has done much better before. DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ - "Anything Lost (Can Be Found Again)" (samo, #1) vs Juliana Gattas - "Un Taxi al Infierno" (Gonza'90, #6) I really like Un Taxi al Infierno and I am interested in hearing the other tracks on Juliana Gattas' album. Unfortunately, it is up against a strong and uplifting DJSTTDJ track and as a sabrinator I have to show my support. |

Big Blood - "1000 Times" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #1) vs Cardi B - "Enough (Miami)" (keatonzab, #6)
"1000 Times" is quite nice. If you told me it was 60 or so years old, I'd believe you. "Enough (Miami)" is fine for what it is. Cardi has better songs.
Shygirl f/ Cosha - "thicc" (lyhom, #1) vs Sierra Ferrell - "Why Haven't You Loved Me Yet" (recordyear, #6)
"thicc" has New Year's Eve party vibes to me. Definitely a compliment because it's a fun bop from a consistently good EP that Shygirl dropped this year. "Why Haven't You Loved Me Yet" is a short but sweet country song that is a step above from what I usually hear in modern country music.
Addison Rae - "I got it bad" (woods, #1) vs Estoy Bien - "Frente A Frente" (MoD, #6)
I have known about "I got it bad" over a year before it was even released. That chorus is pretty undeniable, and I love that this song has two bridges. Also, yes, this was a WTM extra for me. "Frente a frente" is pretty nice, although not completely for my personal taste.
Kacey Musgraves - "The Architect" (SabrinaFan, #1) vs KNOWER - "Do Hot Girls Like Chords?" (zippy, #6)
"The Architect" isn't among the top of my personal favorites from 'Deeper Well', but it's still quite a pleasant listen. (Wanted to add that I just realized the melody of this song reminds me of Kesha's "Godzilla") The beginning of "Do Hot Girls Like Chords?" reminds me of 'I Disagree' era Poppy. KNOWER has been very consistent for me. I did like the ending. Probably the closest battle for me.
Ryan Hurd - "Midwest Rock & Roll" (CLD, #1) vs Nothing More - "IF IT DOESN'T HURT" (macattack, #6)
I don't think "Midwest Rock & Roll" fully clicked for me, especially at the chorus, but it wasn't too bad. I liked "IF IT DOESN'T HURT" a little bit more.
Maddie & Tae - "Heart They Didn't Break" (bigfan101, #1) vs ANOHNI and the Johnsons - "Can't" (willapted33, #6)
"Heart They Didn't Break" is standardly decent country song that has a nice melody to it. ANOHNI and the Johnsons' latest album is something I've been aware about for a while now, but I haven't checked out anything from it quite yet. "Can't" is pretty nice, but I do wonder if I'd enjoy other songs by them more.
The Marías - "Run Your Mouth" (Gonza'90, #1) vs Janelle Monáe - "Champagne Shit" (woods, #6)
"Run Your Mouth" has been charting for me for a bit now. The production is especially a lot of fun. "Champagne Shit" I actually have heard before this since it was on my Release Radar since 'The Age of Pleasure' came out. It's pretty solid, but definitely not Janelle's best. The horns are cool.
DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ - "Anything Lost (Can Be Found Again)" (samo, #1) vs Juliana Gattas - "Un Taxi al Infierno" (Gonza'90, #6)
Despite "Anything Lost (Can Be Found Again)" actually being released a few days after New Year's Eve, this songs gives me Christmas vibes for some reason? Maybe it's because the cover art looks like a wreath on a red background. Yeah, that makes sense actually. Anyways, I enjoy this quite a bit. Definitely could've been on 'Destiny', but that album is long enough as it is, lmao. And this song is already over 8 minutes long! Uhh I wasn't prepared to vote against DJ Sabrina, but "Un Taxi al Infierno" is my favorite discovery already. A very, very fun electro-disco track. Perhaps I should check out the album this is on. The switchup in the production especially keeps things interesting. I hope the DJ Sabrinators can forgive me.

Big Blood - "1000 Times" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #1) vs Cardi B - "Enough (Miami)" (keatonzab, #6)
- 1000 Times was a really cool discovery! Enough isn’t my favorite Cardi song atm but it has room to grow
Shygirl f/ Cosha - "thicc" (lyhom, #1) vs Sierra Ferrell - "Why Haven't You Loved Me Yet" (recordyear, #6)
- we love Shygirl
Addison Rae - "I got it bad" (woods, #1) vs Estoy Bien - "Frente A Frente" (MoD, #6)
- I got it bad is decent enough pop music but nothing too special. Frente A Frente was a great discovery!
Kacey Musgraves - "The Architect" (SabrinaFan, #1) vs KNOWER - "Do Hot Girls Like Chords?" (zippy, #6)
- I like The Architect but it’s not my favorite from Deeper Well. This Knower song slaps though, gonna vote for it especially since Kacey has other appearances here.
Ryan Hurd - "Midwest Rock & Roll" (CLD, #1) vs Nothing More - "IF IT DOESN'T HURT" (macattack, #6)
Maddie & Tae - "Heart They Didn't Break" (bigfan101, #1) vs ANOHNI and the Johnsons - "Can't" (willapted33, #6)
- Both were pretty nice!
The Marías - "Run Your Mouth" (Gonza'90, #1) vs Janelle Monáe - "Champagne Shit" (woods, #6)
- So wripphobic to make me choose between The Marías and Janelle Monáe…
DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ - "Anything Lost (Can Be Found Again)" (samo, #1) vs Juliana Gattas - "Un Taxi al Infierno" (Gonza'90, #6)
- Ahhh this was a really close matchup for me! Anything Lost was super vibey but Taxi was such a cool discovery! I think I'll vote for Juliana just because DJ Sabrina has had more time to shine in madness games

This was a pretty strong set overall.
Big Blood - "1000 Times" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #1) vs Cardi B - "Enough (Miami)" (keatonzab, #6)
There is something so familiar, nostalgic, and reassuring about the Big Blood song. I did enjoy the Cardi song too as I felt it was one of her better ones in a long time, but Big Blood is so much more exciting.
Shygirl f/ Cosha - "thicc" (lyhom, #1) vs Sierra Ferrell - "Why Haven't You Loved Me Yet" (recordyear, #6)
"thicc" is HOT. WHYLMY is nice too
Addison Rae - "I got it bad" (woods, #1) vs Estoy Bien - "Frente A Frente" (MoD, #6)
"I got it bad" is sexy sexy. It's a nice slice of 80s Synthpop meets 90s Europop without being derivative. "Frente A Frente" was pleasant. It has that A Flock Of Seagulls and AHa flavor. Edge to Addison.
Kacey Musgraves - "The Architect" (SabrinaFan, #1) vs KNOWER - "Do Hot Girls Like Chords?" (zippy, #6)
Both were great but loved Kacey's more. I still need to check out her new album.
Ryan Hurd - "Midwest Rock & Roll" (CLD, #1) vs Nothing More - "IF IT DOESN'T HURT" (macattack, #6)
I enjoyed both but I have to give the edge to Nothing More. It's very Erasure meets Imagine Dragons.
Maddie & Tae - "Heart They Didn't Break" (bigfan101, #1) vs ANOHNI and the Johnsons - "Can't" (willapted33, #6)
This one was tough, but I got to give the edge to M&T.
The Marías - "Run Your Mouth" (Gonza'90, #1) vs Janelle Monáe - "Champagne Shit" (woods, #6)
Liked both, but Janelle's was better.
DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ - "Anything Lost (Can Be Found Again)" (samo, #1) vs Juliana Gattas - "Un Taxi al Infierno" (Gonza'90, #6)
The Sabrina track was fun and definitely felt like something that would have been played at The Saint and Danceteria during their respective heydays, but the Juliana is just so dreamy and fabulous.

Most of this matchups were pretty difficult, it was hard to choose between two good, or even great songs.
Big Blood - "1000 Times" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #1) vs Cardi B - "Enough (Miami)" (keatonzab, #6) Shygirl f/ Cosha - "thicc" (lyhom, #1) vs Sierra Ferrell - "Why Haven't You Loved Me Yet" (recordyear, #6) Addison Rae - "I got it bad" (woods, #1) vs Estoy Bien - "Frente A Frente" (MoD, #6)I hope this makes it through, because fellow Chilean Chini.png got paid dust last year.
Kacey Musgraves - "The Architect" (SabrinaFan, #1) vs KNOWER - "Do Hot Girls Like Chords?" (zippy, #6) Ryan Hurd - "Midwest Rock & Roll" (CLD, #1) vs Nothing More - "IF IT DOESN'T HURT" (macattack, #6) Maddie & Tae - "Heart They Didn't Break" (bigfan101, #1) vs ANOHNI and the Johnsons - "Can't" (willapted33, #6)Been hearing a lot of praise for Anohni's latest album, and now that I listened to this song, I see why.
The Marías - "Run Your Mouth" (Gonza'90, #1) vs Janelle Monáe - "Champagne Shit" (woods, #6) DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ - "Anything Lost (Can Be Found Again)" (samo, #1) vs Juliana Gattas - "Un Taxi al Infierno" (Gonza'90, #6) I didn't expect this to be doing well here, especially against a Pulse fav, glad I was wrong.
