Escapism by Raye is awful. I can't stand anything about it. Turning out to be one of my least favorite songs of 2023 right now.

There's a lot of hype around Raye here, I gave the new album a shot. Something about her entire persona/image feels forced and inauthentic to me. She's hitting notes that other artists have already hit better a million times already. Her actual debut album (sorry, mini lp, lol) is a more enjoyable listen.

βWhoβs in Your Headβ is the best post-comeback Jonas Brothers single.

Re-pitched versions are such a lazy excuse for "remixes". They're not even remixes, it's the same mix just with a frequency change. My millennial is already showing when the current remix culture hasn't got s**t on remixes from 15-25 years ago, but if re-pitching is the future of remixes then the artform is f**ked.

Just put the record on and play it at a different speed.

Liz Phair's self-titled album is her best album by huge margin.

Die For You is so boring and non interesting and should have never been a bit many years later. Needs to go away and Iβm tired of hearing it. Also one of my least favorite Weeknd songs ever. The song puts me to sleep.

Not sure if this is unpopular. A musical pet peeve of mine is when at the beginning of a collab, the featured artist says something along the lines of "It's (Artist 1) and (Artist 2), it's gonna be lit!" It feels like such a cheap gimmick to capitalize off of name recognition alone IMO, and in many cases, the collabs where they say that end up being disappointing. I feel like the literary trope of "show, not tell" applies here. If you want the audience to think a song is lit, then show us that it is, rather than directly saying that it is in hopes of manifesting it into fruition.

Dream About You by Stevie B is one of my favorite songs on the 1995 Year End. It might be cheesy as heck, but that song just, it hits me hard and I love it a lot.

I don't think Flowers is very good. Actually, I think it's one of her weakest singles. Don't get the success around it.

David Guetta just premiered a song called "Baby Don't Hurt Me" during his recent Ultra set which is based on Haddaway's "What Is Love", following in the formula of what he just did with "I'm Good (Blue)". Did David recently order second hand copies of the Pulse and Fired Up compilation CDs from Amazon's marketplace, listen through both discs of both compilations and then come to the conclusion, "Wow, these Dance/Club songs from the past are so well-produced, catchy, and exciting. I can't make anything like this anymore. I need to sample from some/most of these so I can be successful again. I mean, if I like most of these and feel nostalgia about them, my audience might. I know most of these young kids who do come to my shows don't know any of the original songs so I can easily pull the wool over their eyes and have some cheap, easy hits." This is just so lazy, jejune, desperate. I was a huge fan of the original Haddaway song when it first came out so this is really upsetting that he keeps doing this sort of thing. Yes, this will give potential exposure to the original song, but I don't like how it's happening. I realize that sampling/covering/interpolating songs of the past and reinventing is something that has always happened and is a major aspect of Dance/Club music, but this specific brand of 'reinvention' is giving the genre a bad name. I would love for the genre to get some mainstream attention, but not this way. I don't care if this makes me seem like I am out of touch, a hater, jealous, being bitchy for no reason, but as someone who has been into this style of music for nearly 30 years and it has always never gotten proper respect and some view the mainstream side of it as a joke or novelty, this just doesn't help. David Guetta is not a friend of our industry and we cannot continue to elevate him to this sort of godlike status and whatnot because this just encourages him to keep doing this over and over and over again. Us playing, supporting, and remixing it also leads to this happening. We need to do better folks.

That is waaaaay too many words to say 'WTF is David Guetta doing?'. Within the Dance/Club world, a number of them actually appreciate the added visibility of the genre even if it is happening this way because it could open the door for other artists to actually get played on mainstream radio, even though radio is not the be all end all.

Do you guys think that Ice Spice will have another pop hit after Boy's A Liar Pt 2?

I think Nicki's next album will be more commercially successful than Cardi's.
