the other black dog: I NEED TO CHECK THIS ALBUM OUT ASAP !!!!!!

Fredo Bang f/ Lil Durk - “Top (Remix)” (jtd, #2) (7) vs. Lainey Wilson - “Things A Man Oughta Know” (Colbster, #5) (5)
top remix: well jtd it looks like everything is on the line for you this round
things a man oughta know: you know you cant just repeat the fact that you "know a few things a man oughta know" and then say literally nothing in elaboration of them

Teezo Touchdown - “Social Cues” (singingrulebritannia, #2) (8) vs. Shamir - “On My Own” (pheebs, #5) (8)
social cues: chaotic and messy in all the ways i enjoy- gates continues to have taste, as per usual
for what its worth this is by far the hardest matchup here, i voted for on my own because it had fewer votes at the current time of voting
edit: ok i switched it because social cues now has fewer votes this will be the final switch i make

Genesis Owusu - “Don't Need You” (Zach, #2) (9) vs. Red Velvet - IRENE & SEULGI - “Naughty” (cf72, #5) (8)
dont need you: "i said your ass is stinky, and you look like a mole" line of the year
naughty: song bangs but how does a major kpop girl group have such terrible graphic design lmao

Silk City f/ Ellie Goulding - “New Love” (Fire, #2) (5) vs. The Hold Steady - “Family Farm” (American Idiot, #5) (8)
new love: i guess she really does have a new love (x5000)

Don't Judge Me is good but it's faded on me since it dropped. I love the art punk energy of The Other Black Dog, reminiscent of Talking Heads but in a veyr good way

ENNY is really good, reminds me of Lil Simz

FKA Twigs, Headie One, Fred Again.. - “Don’t Judge Me” (Harry, #2) vs. Genesis Owusu - "The Other Black Dog" (filthy, #5)
I enjoyed "Don't Judge Me", and I appreciated the message too. "The Other Black Dog" was pretty cool too, I really liked the production and the riff is really catchy. Pretty close call here but "The Other Black Dog" stuck to my ears more.

Fredo Bang f/ Lil Durk - “Top (Remix)” (jtd, #2) vs. Lainey Wilson - “Things A Man Oughta Know” (Colbster, #5)
"Top" was catchy and I liked the production, but it can't beat "Things A Man Oughta Know" for me. Lainey Wilson is on the countrier-end of the mainstream country spectrum and has tons of potential - looking forward to hearing more from her beyond her debut album.

Teezo Touchdown - “Social Cues” (singingrulebritannia, #2) vs. Shamir - “On My Own” (pheebs, #5)
I like the instrumentals/production of "Social Cues" a lot. I don't particularly enjoy the stylistic choices regarding the use of autotune here but otherwise it's a solid song. "On My Own" is good too but "Social Cues" was the more interesting of the two to me (not that "On My Own" is boring by any means).

Genesis Owusu - “Don't Need You” (Zach, #2) vs. Red Velvet - IRENE & SEULGI - “Naughty” (cf72, #5)
I liked "Don't Need You" (the "I said your ass is stinky, and you built like a mole" line though lol) but as one of the not many K-pop girl group enthusiasts on this forum Red Velvet sub-unit song that honestly slaps gets my vote. The UK garage vibes in "Naughty" is great.

Silk City f/ Ellie Goulding - “New Love” (Fire, #2) vs. The Hold Steady - “Family Farm” (American Idiot, #5)
"New Love" is a bop but it does get pretty repetitive. "Family Farm" has a nice instrumental (the horns!! lol). "Family Farm" edges out "New Love" for me here, which is honestly a little surprising since "New Love" is probably something I would gravitate more than "Family Farm" usually.

Caroline Polachek - “Breathless” (recordyear, #2) vs. Duncan Laurence - “Sleeping On The Phone” (born, #5)
"Breathless" kept showing up on Spotify for me at one point; I liked this and I also liked things I've heard from her - I still need to check out Pang. "Sleeping on the Phone" is probably the best thing I've heard from Duncan Laurence since "Arcade". That being said, "Breathless" kept my interest more.

ENNY f/ Jorja Smith - “Peng Black Girls Remix” (MoD, #2) vs. JAEL f/ Foolie $urfin - “Catching Feels” (jtd, #5)
Both songs were pretty vibey and honestly I like them pretty much the same amount. Pretty much a coin toss for me here, but I suppose I could go for an underdog vote.

Teezo Touchdown - “Social Cues” (singingrulebritannia, #2) (8.4) vs. Shamir - “On My Own” (pheebs, #5) (7.8)
The sentiment of Social Cues really hits close to home for me, I don't want to get too personal but being a neurodivergent person who often misses social cues and struggles with human interaction sometimes, I connected with this one a lot. On My Own was nice too!

FKA Twigs, Headie One, Fred Again.. - “Don’t Judge Me” (Harry, #2) vs. Genesis Owusu - "The Other Black Dog" (filthy, #5)
I like FKA Twigs' part in Don't Judge Me, but the rest of the song is just OK. The Other Black Dog is fun sad dance-punk song, which is refreshing to hear in 2021.

Fredo Bang f/ Lil Durk - “Top (Remix)” (jtd, #2) vs. Lainey Wilson - “Things A Man Oughta Know” (Colbster, #5)
Close but don't really like either. Top (Remix) is kinda forgettable. The sound effects in Things A Man Oughta Know are quite distracting (Jay Joyce's bad tendency I guess), but if this song's initial success means she can break out that I would take it.

Teezo Touchdown - “Social Cues” (singingrulebritannia, #2) vs. Shamir - “On My Own” (pheebs, #5)
Close but like both. Both hvae interesting vocals. The verses in Social Cues are very relatable, but I find On My Own to be more easily palatable musically.

Genesis Owusu - “Don't Need You” (Zach, #2) vs. Red Velvet - IRENE & SEULGI - “Naughty” (cf72, #5)
Don't Need You is better than The Other Black Dog. I say bring these fun sad bops to charts please! Naughty is solid UK house but lacks identity.

Silk City f/ Ellie Goulding - “New Love” (Fire, #2) vs. The Hold Steady - “Family Farm” (American Idiot, #5)
That chorus of New Love is lazy af, and Ellie Goulding's robotic delivery doesn't help. Family Farm is solid indie rock song with decent key insruments (piano and xylophone).

Caroline Polachek - “Breathless” (recordyear, #2) vs. Duncan Laurence - “Sleeping On The Phone” (born, #5)
Didn't know the original version of Breathless is not that well perceived here, but I only listened to Caroline's version before. It fits her lane well. Sleeping On The Phone is better than Arcade, if a few more glitch sound effects are used it could work as a very mainstream Bon Iver song lol

ENNY f/ Jorja Smith - “Peng Black Girls Remix” (MoD, #2) vs. JAEL f/ Foolie $urfin - “Catching Feels” (jtd, #5)
Both songs from four-letter artists, okay. Agree that ENNY sounds like Little Simz in Peng Black Girls Remix, and that's not a bad thing at all. Her lyrics are better than Jorja's though. Catching Feels is also solid, but not as interesting as the previous song.

- At times I wasn’t big on the guy’s voice in “Family Farm”, though the instrumental was really dope in it. “New Love” is fun, though the repetition brings it down for me a bit.
