The Miguel song was flat-out the only thing in this list that I hated. An easy last place.

Snoh has done better. This was meh by her standards.

Cici ain't what she used to be. I haven't truly loved anything of her's in quite awhile.

[Ty]

I flopped so hard this past few weeks, but I'll do this month's list because I love me some Cleo Sol and Jorja Smith.

[SHOOTER]

I wanna be the crown that shows your reign
The steel to your armor that you wear
I can take you to the finish line
Making you feel like you're always in your prime...

[kimberly]

Snoh Aalegra songs this month were pretty disappointing.

I can't really get into her music even though I really want to. Nothing I've heard from her has been memorable, I couldn't hum a single song of hers.

[SHOOTER]

I realize that I can't be your lover
Let's just keep it honest with each other
I'll be happy for you when you find another
We ain't good good, but we still good...

She ain't what she used to be for sure, but this one was a grower and I wound up getting into it. That said, it's a duet with Chris Brown, so I'm fully convinced that he's the reason for all the tanks this time. 🙃

Yeah, I'm the topic that you know you wanna tag
You see it from the front, it's even better from the back
Last time I checked I'm the bag

That was just a sample
