Mitski - "Star" (Mayman, #3) {8.5} vs Kacey Musgraves - "Deeper Well" (indulgecountry, #4) {7.7} i like both of these quite a bit, star takes it though with its great buildup
Greylan James - "Young Man" (bigfan101, #3) {4.8} vs Daria Zawiałow - "Z Tobą Na Chacie" (Leo, #4) {6.4}
Strandz - "Us Against the World" (SabrinaFan, #3) {6.6} vs Jazmin Bean - "Stockholm Butterfly" (Zach, #4) {7.5}
Shygirl & Lolo Zouaï - "mute" (walt91, #3) {7.4} vs Victoria Monét - "Stop (Askin' Me 4Shyt)" (rnb, #4) {7.9} jaguar ii was really good overall, stop is a strong song from it
The Last Dinner Party - "My Lady Of Mercy" (Gonza'90, #3) {8.3} vs Olly Alexander - "Dizzy" (Disco, #4) {6.5} dizzy is solid for a eurovision song, don’t love his vocals but it has a nice instrumental. this is another great song from tldp though & it wins here for me
Cat Ryan - "Rex Mundi" (deca, #3) {8} vs Post Malone - "Enough Is Enough" (M5AGTS, #4) {5.5} rex mundi has a really nice sound that i prefer over post malone’s underwhelming rebrand
Elley Duhé & Whethan - "MONEY ON THE DASH - SPED UP" (woods, #3) {5.4} vs Remi Wolf - "Cinderella" (samo, #4) {8.5} cinderella is the best remi song i’ve heard so far, an all around great time
Curling - "Hi-Elixir" (lyhom, #3) {7.8} vs Nomestomper - "Steel Wire Toothbrush" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #4) {7.4} both cool, the guitar part on hi-elixir was a bit more of a standout for me

Mitski - "Star" (Mayman, #3) vs Kacey Musgraves - "Deeper Well" (indulgecountry, #4) A slow burner (for Star) versus a fresh Spring air (for Deeper Well) which is a very close matchup. Slightly prefer Kacey's vocals.
Greylan James - "Young Man" (bigfan101, #3) vs Daria Zawiałow - "Z Tobą Na Chacie" (Leo, #4) I am so tired of life advice song trend from mainstream country music right now because all of them has way too similar idea, and what's bad for especially Young Man is the part of chorus that goes "young man, young man/drunk man, drunk man/sun man, sun man" which is very annoying to listen to. Z Tobą Na Chacie has a bit annoying beat but otherwise it's decent pop song.
Strandz - "Us Against the World" (SabrinaFan, #3) vs Jazmin Bean - "Stockholm Butterfly" (Zach, #4) Us Against the World is...fine? Feel too short to leave a further impression. Stockholming Butterfly has some really revealing lyrics, which improves my impression towards this song.
Shygirl & Lolo Zouaï - "mute" (walt91, #3) vs Victoria Monét - "Stop (Askin' Me 4Shyt)" (rnb, #4) mute is weaker than thicc for having a weaker chorus. Unfortunately I mostly find the "music stops after "stop" lyric" gimmick quite annoying, and the beat switch doesn't feel that smooth to me in Stop (Askin' Me 4Shyt).
The Last Dinner Party - "My Lady Of Mercy" (Gonza'90, #3) vs Olly Alexander - "Dizzy" (Disco, #4) IDK but the melody of My Lady of Mercy doesn't really work on me, but I definitely prefer it over Dizzy which sounds like cheap commercial K-pop in mid-2010s.
Cat Ryan - "Rex Mundi" (deca, #3) vs Post Malone - "Enough Is Enough" (M5AGTS, #4) Rex Mundi is quite cute. Enough Is Enough has decent chorus for ap op rock song but some of the melody in verses are cringy.
Elley Duhé & Whethan - "MONEY ON THE DASH - SPED UP" (woods, #3) vs Remi Wolf - "Cinderella" (samo, #4) Interesting to send a speed up version of a song for these games. I actually think the music from this speed up version of Money on the Dash to be ok, but the speed up vocals part is a little iffy. Anyway though Cinderella is an instant-like bop. It's great to know Remi Wolf still got it because I was underwhelmed by deluxe songs from Juno, but this and Prescription (especially extended version) reignite my interest towards her.
Curling - "Hi-Elixir" (lyhom, #3) vs Nomestomper - "Steel Wire Toothbrush" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #4) 7841 Spotify streams versus 1811 Spotify streams, but they are both solid harder rock songs. I like the Heavy Psych elements in Steel Wire Toothbrush a bit more.

Quickie reviews for now, I may expand them later.
WILLOW - "symptom of life" (keatonzab, #3) vs NxWorries - "Daydreaming" (BB, #4) "symptom of life" is the best song WILLOW has released in a while. Very nice piano melody.
Friko - "Statues" (recordyear, #3) vs Night Tapes - "every day is a game" (zippy, #4) Gotta go with the local boys on this one. Not really fond of the vocal on the Night Tapes track.
Lainey Wilson - "Country's Cool Again" (indulgecountry, #3) vs Kacey Musgraves - "Cardinal" (singingrulebritannia, #4) Kacey's made my personal year-end top 50 lists before, and "Cardinal" is a strong contender to make another one. The Lainey Wilson tune feels like self-parody, like when "coastal elites" describe what country music sounds like, that's what it'll sound like.
McKinley Dixon f/ Angélica Garcia - "Sun, I Rise" (BB, #3) vs FLO - "Walk Like This" (walt91, #4) Love the flow on "Sun, I Rise". The auto-tune drags down the FLO track.
PinkPantheress - "Mosquito" (rnb, #3) vs Victoria Monét - "Good Bye" (wrip, #4) "Mosquito" is a neat song by PinkPantheress. She is really good at finding unique and fun beats.
Empress Of - "Lorelei" (Hamed, #3) vs Alexandra Kay - "Happy Once" (CLD, #4) I can kinda vibe with the country version of a power ballad in this case.
Sailor Honeymoon - "Bad Apple" (macattack, #3) vs yeule - "Cyber Meat" (reputainbow, #4) I found this band by accident - they're a Korean punk band that performs in English! I thought they had a pretty neat sound to go with their background so I thought it would be fun to introduce them to Pulse with their most accessible song (IMO) at the time of MM starting.

Friko - "Statues" (recordyear, #3) {8.0} vs Night Tapes - "every day is a game" (zippy, #4) {7.4} This vote could have gone the other way if Iiris's vocal performance was about 15% less breathy. I can handle that style of singing to a certain point but EDIAG is really pushing the line on that

I really like the piano on "symptom of life". Definitely up there as one of my favorite WILLOW songs. "Daydreaming" is also really nice, and I slightly prefer it over the other song in this matchup. (Sorry Keaton)
Friko - "Statues" (recordyear, #3) vs Night Tapes - "every day is a game" (zippy, #4)
"Statues" is pretty good. I like the noisier parts the best, tbh. I like the contrast of the calmer "every day is a game" in this matchup lol, but I see myself going back to "Statues" more.
Lainey Wilson - "Country's Cool Again" (indulgecountry, #3) vs Kacey Musgraves - "Cardinal" (singingrulebritannia, #4)
"Country's Cool Again" is bit a better than the other country songs I've heard in this year's March Madness, but it's quite hard for me to vote against "Cardinal". I instantly loved it from the intro alone when I listened to 'Deeper Well'. Very pretty and touching. Plus, cardinals are my favorite bird.
McKinley Dixon f/ Angélica Garcia - "Sun, I Rise" (BB, #3) vs FLO - "Walk Like This" (walt91, #4)
"Sun, I Rise" is really good. I've really enjoyed what I've heard from McKinley Dixon. "Walk Like This" still isn't my favorite FLO song but it's still pretty good.
PinkPantheress - "Mosquito" (rnb, #3) vs Victoria Monét - "Good Bye" (wrip, #4)
Ugh, I hate this matchup. "Mosquito" is so good, and I very recently decided to boost it up a half star on RYM. So much fun to listen to. "Good Bye" is a song I initially overlooked on 'Jaguar II'. It reminds me of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in some parts, which is total praise on my end. I just hope these are both make it to round two.
Empress Of - "Lorelei" (Hamed, #3) vs Alexandra Kay - "Happy Once" (CLD, #4)
"Lorelei" is definitely a step above "Kiss Me". The production is very interesting to me. "Happy Once" isn't too bad but there's a clear winner to me.
Sailor Honeymoon - "Bad Apple" (macattack, #3) vs yeule - "Cyber Meat" (reputainbow, #4)
I like "Bad Apple". It has a sort of similar vibe to my song "Cyber Meat", which I will be voting for of course. Probably yeule's most accessible song? It's a banger, that's for sure.

Waited til I got home work to do this today so I can add commentary again without having to type in my notes app.
WILLOW - "symptom of life" (keatonzab, #3) (light to decent 8) vs NxWorries - "Daydreaming" (BB, #4) (light to decent 8) Willow's one of the most exciting artists out there right now, for me at least. Love seeing her transition into so many different sounds & styles, she's making really great stuff. Love this song. Daydreaming is great too, but Symptom of Life is a bit newer and more exciting for me right now.
Friko - "Statues" (recordyear, #3) (decent to strong 6) vs Night Tapes - "every day is a game" (zippy, #4) (light to decent 7) Unfortunately, the new Friko album didn't leave as much of an impression me as I had hoped. There were a couple tracks I thought were pretty good, but mostly I just thought it was pleasantly nice. Was wondering where I had heard the name Night Tapes before, turns out I had just listened to one of theirs songs (Drifting) + written a brief review for my discover weekly project on RYM. Feel about the same about this one that I do Drifting, takes awhile for me to get into the vibe, but once I do it's very nice.
Lainey Wilson - "Country's Cool Again" (indulgecountry, #3) (strong 5 to light 6) vs Kacey Musgraves - "Cardinal" (singingrulebritannia, #4) (strong 7 to light 8) Kinda feel bad for this one cause I think I've voted against Kacey very match she's been in so far, but I do love Cardinal. Had this on my discover weekly last week and really liked it. Country's Cool Again is pretty decent too actually. I don't mind it.
McKinley Dixon f/ Angélica Garcia - "Sun, I Rise" (BB, #3) (light to decent 8) vs FLO - "Walk Like This" (walt91, #4) (decent to strong 7) I love Walk Like This. I've liked just every song I've heard from FLO, it just usually takes awhile for me to get used to them, but I think Walk Like This is the first one I got IMMEDIATELY. Unfortunately, I love Beloved Paradise Jazz just a bit more.
PinkPantheress - "Mosquito" (rnb, #3) (strong 7 to light 8) vs Victoria Monét - "Good Bye" (wrip, #4) (strong 7 to light 8) It's sad to see Victoria Monet getting so singlehandedly slaughtered here when the song is good, I'll give it a vote. Both songs are good, I like them about the same amount so I'll help out the underdog.
Empress Of - "Lorelei" (Hamed, #3) (light to decent 6) vs Alexandra Kay - "Happy Once" (CLD, #4) (light to decent 6) Idk, like I mentioned before I just haven't been crazy about the stuff I've heard from this Empress Of era. I always listen to songs from her and feel some fundamental disconnect that I can't explain. I don't go too hog wild for country adult contemporary ballads typically, but Happy Once was pretty nice. I think the emotion of "I should like this more than I do and I don't know why" feels less good than "I wasn't expecting to like this, but it's okay", so I'll let that be the tie breaker here.
Sailor Honeymoon - "Bad Apple" (macattack, #3) (light to decent 7) vs yeule - "Cyber Meat" (reputainbow, #4) (strong 7 to light 8) Bad Apple is a fun pick here, I like the song too (was kinda expecting a cover of like, Touhou Bad Apple). Unfortunately Yeule is tough to go against. Didn't remember this song from her most recent album, but great rediscovery.

WILLOW - "symptom of life" (keatonzab, #3) vs NxWorries - "Daydreaming" (BB, #4)
symptom of life is in fact a great WILLOW song, a step up from alone. The irregular time signatures make the song more quirky. Unfortunately, it doesn't top how much I enjoy my #8 submission. The sample, singing, melody, and psychedelic aesthetic all sound just right.
Friko - "Statues" (recordyear, #3) vs Night Tapes - "every day is a game" (zippy, #4)
I really like the echoes and noisy sounds on Statues. Friko's album is something I should listen to soon.
Recently I have spent time listening to all of Night Tapes' songs and wanted to submit one of them for Madness. Initially I considered submitting drifting but I felt it didn't hit me hard enough on repeated listens, then every day is a game was released in March. This has to be my favorite track of theirs when it comes to Iiris' vocal performance (I know it's not everyone's cup of tea) and the calm atmospheric production works so well.
Lainey Wilson - "Country's Cool Again" (indulgecountry, #3) vs Kacey Musgraves - "Cardinal" (singingrulebritannia, #4)
I am not cool with Country's Cool Again, it find it rather annoying. Cardinal is easily my favorite of the Kacey Musgraves songs so far.
McKinley Dixon f/ Angélica Garcia - "Sun, I Rise" (BB, #3) vs FLO - "Walk Like This" (walt91, #4)
I have listened to McKinley Dixon's album and I think we missed an opportunity to rank this song sooner. It has some gorgeous jazzy production and interesting verses. Walk Like This is a fun R&B/pop track but I think it could work better with a little less going on.
PinkPantheress - "Mosquito" (rnb, #3) vs Victoria Monét - "Good Bye" (wrip, #4)
Mosquito was my #37 in the 2023 RYM rankdown as PinkPantheress knows how to pull off a cute DnB/pop song that doesn't feel too short. Good Bye is another Victoria Monét I would have ranked in my 10s in the WTM seeds but it's not quite enough in this matchup.
Empress Of - "Lorelei" (Hamed, #3) vs Alexandra Kay - "Happy Once" (CLD, #4)
I love the production on Lorelei, it helps makes the track a standout on the album. I did get some enjoyment out of Happy Once although it doesn't do anything I haven't heard before.
Sailor Honeymoon - "Bad Apple" (macattack, #3) vs yeule - "Cyber Meat" (reputainbow, #4)
This is a fitting matchup. Bad Apple is a fun little discovery that has a punk style that doesn't quite reach greatness for me. On the other hand, I am kind of a yeule fan and cyber meat has to be the best non-single on their album.
