Cosmorat - "Backseat Baby" (deca, #1) vs Judas Priest - "Invincible Shield" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #6) "Backseat Baby" had an abrasive / too in your face I'm not too sure I vibe with. Judas Priest is a band I know by their name but is the first time I heard a song of them. Instrumental is good but I don't really like his voice.
Reneé Rapp - "Someone Gets Hurt" (keatonzab, #1) vs ?Kirin J Callinan - "Crazier Idea" (dremolus, #6) I'm also not too fond on musicals so I've avoided to see this movie. Overall none of those songs captivated me but I think I liked Kirin's voice enough
Twenty One Pilots - "Overcompensate" (macattack, #1) vs Hannah Jadagu - "Say It Now" (Zach, #6) Both of those were solid!
MGMT - "Nothing Changes" (Mayman, #1) vs Matt Schuster - "Thought You Were" (bigfan101, #6) I... didn't really like neither of this but MGMT gets the edge.
Annalisa - "Sinceramente" (Leo, #1) vs The 8-Bit Big Band f/ Alan H. Green - "Pollyanna" (Khan, #6) I love this banger so much, Rep is right, the best part is when everything comes together for the final chorus. Sanremo 2024 had so much quality. "Pollyanna" was cool but not enough to beat my pick.
Quadeca f/ Kevin Abstract - "TEXAS BLUE" (willapted33, #1) vs Taryn - "Love Letters" (jtd, #6) "Love Letters" was cute. Both were enjoyable tho.
Willi Carlisle - "Critterland" (wheatsquares33, #1) vs Addison Rae f/ Charli XCX - "2 die 4" (rnb, #6) I liked the instrumental on "Critterland" a lot.

Cosmorat - "Backseat Baby" (deca, #1) [59] vs Judas Priest - "Invincible Shield" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #6) [87]
Reneé Rapp - "Someone Gets Hurt" (keatonzab, #1) [55] vs Kirin J Callinan - "Crazier Idea" (dremolus, #6) [73]
Twenty One Pilots - "Overcompensate" (macattack, #1) [70] vs Hannah Jadagu - "Say It Now" (Zach, #6) [70] -These are both good. "Overcompensate" is pretty fun and eclectic; it's one of TOP's best radio singles in a while. But it's weighed down by the excessive self-referential, lore-heavy lyrics and some characteristically corny moments. "Say It Now" is pleasant dream pop, but it's too safe to really achieve greatness. I'll give my vote to the more obscure artist.
MGMT - "Nothing Changes" (Mayman, #1) [81] vs Matt Schuster - "Thought You Were" (bigfan101, #6) [48]
Annalisa - "Sinceramente" (Leo, #1) [61] vs The 8-Bit Big Band f/ Alan H. Green - "Pollyanna" (Khan, #6) [60]
Quadeca f/ Kevin Abstract - "TEXAS BLUE" (willapted33, #1) [80] vs Taryn - "Love Letters" (jtd, #6) [63]
Willi Carlisle - "Critterland" (wheatsquares33, #1) [64] vs Addison Rae f/ Charli XCX - "2 die 4" (rnb, #6) [58]

Cosmorat - "Backseat Baby" (deca, #1) (light to decent 7) vs Judas Priest - "Invincible Shield" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #6) (light to decent 7) I like these about equally, gonna give my vote to JP cause I like the song a bit more & I think a metal pick will need all the help it can get.
Reneé Rapp - "Someone Gets Hurt" (keatonzab, #1) (decent to strong 6) vs Kirin J Callinan - "Crazier Idea" (dremolus, #6) (light to decent 8) I think it's funny to see comments to the effect of "people who haven't seen the new Mean Girls musical will have no idea what's going on with this song" or whatever because I've actually out-clueless-ed everyone--I didn't even KNOW there was a new Mean Girls musical movie adaptation for a song to be based on. So I just listened to this and was like "yeah, it's a decent pop song". And after discovering this is from a movie musical movie I didn't know existed, my opinion remains unchanged. Crazier Idea was very good, I haven't been super into anything Kirin's been doing since the Bravado era, this is probably the most I've liked a song from him since then. Very Prefab-esque, which is always a plus for me.
Twenty One Pilots - "Overcompensate" (macattack, #1) (decent to strong 6) vs Hannah Jadagu - "Say It Now" (Zach, #6) (strong 6 to light 7) Idk, I wanna like Overcompensate, but it's just not clicking for me. I've come back to it a few times hoping for it to work, and it just doesn't. It's ambitious, but just doesn't come together. I do like Next Semester a lot though, so at least I haven't completely lost hope in the new album. Not my first time hearing Say It Now, but I like it about as much as I did the first time.
MGMT - "Nothing Changes" (Mayman, #1) (decent to strong 8) vs Matt Schuster - "Thought You Were" (bigfan101, #6) (decent to strong 4) Nothing Changes & MGMT's new album are both great, I think this song would win against basically anything else in this round. Thought You Were is um. Not for me.
Annalisa - "Sinceramente" (Leo, #1) (strong 5 to light 6) vs The 8-Bit Big Band f/ Alan H. Green - "Pollyanna" (Khan, #6) (strong 5 to light 6) Sinceramente has a cool beat and I like the post-chorus, but there are a lot of bits that are a bit too annoying for me to fully like the song. Idrk what to make of Pollyanna honestly. I think it's a fun pick for a tournament like this, the vocal just isn't great. Feels very much like a video game song big band cover (which it is, but). I still appreciate it being here. Neither of these is doing it for me, I guess I like Sinceramente a little more.
Quadeca f/ Kevin Abstract - "TEXAS BLUE" (willapted33, #1) (light to decent 8) vs Taryn - "Love Letters" (jtd, #6) (light to decent 7) Idk if I've ever fully "gotten" Quadeca, but I'll definitely give the Scrapyard mixtape a listen. This song is gorg and much more immediate for me than I expected, great instrumental. Love Letters is very nice too.
Willi Carlisle - "Critterland" (wheatsquares33, #1) (decent to strong 10) vs Addison Rae f/ Charli XCX - "2 die 4" (rnb, #6) (strong 6 to light 7) I listened to like 250 albums in 2023, and not a single one of them was a 10/10. But Critterland was like the 10th album I listened to in 2024 and achieved the rare 10/10. Frustrating thing about that is I feel like I had my album of the year and song of the year figured out by the end of February. Again, I like AR enough & this song is solid, but I really don't want my my #1 song to lose to it ;_;
Best discoveries: Crazier Idea, Texas Blue, Invincible Shield, Love Letters, Backseat Baby

Cosmorat - "Backseat Baby" (deca, #1) {6.4} vs Judas Priest - "Invincible Shield" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #6) {7.8}
Reneé Rapp - "Someone Gets Hurt" (keatonzab, #1) {5.4} vs Kirin J Callinan - "Crazier Idea" (dremolus, #6) {7.6}
Twenty One Pilots - "Overcompensate" (macattack, #1) {7.0} vs Hannah Jadagu - "Say It Now" (Zach, #6) {7.2}
MGMT - "Nothing Changes" (Mayman, #1) {8.4} vs Matt Schuster - "Thought You Were" (bigfan101, #6) {4.4} Nice, this is also the album track I thought stood out the most from the new album
Annalisa - "Sinceramente" (Leo, #1) {5.6} vs The 8-Bit Big Band f/ Alan H. Green - "Pollyanna" (Khan, #6) {5.7} This Mother cover is way over-arranged and over-sung, but at its core is still a tune I enjoy far more than "Sinceramente"'s, so that barely makes the difference.
Quadeca f/ Kevin Abstract - "TEXAS BLUE" (willapted33, #1) {8.3} vs Taryn - "Love Letters" (jtd, #6) {6.4}

Cosmorat - "Backseat Baby" (deca, #1) {6.5} vs Judas Priest - "Invincible Shield" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #6) {8} backseat baby had parts I really liked & parts I couldn’t realty get behind, invincible shield definitely appealed to me more w/ a great instrumental
Reneé Rapp - "Someone Gets Hurt" (keatonzab, #1) {5.6} vs Kirin J Callinan - "Crazier Idea" (dremolus, #6) {8.1} mean girls is a classic without the show tunes crazier idea was neat
Twenty One Pilots - "Overcompensate" (macattack, #1) {7.2} vs Hannah Jadagu - "Say It Now" (Zach, #6) {8.3} this top album seems like a return to form after their last one, overcompensate sounds like something i’d rank decently high in an alt rd say it now appeals more to my taste, great song
MGMT - "Nothing Changes" (Mayman, #1) {8.5} vs Matt Schuster - "Thought You Were" (bigfan101, #6) {4.8} hard to go past an mgmt song with horns
Annalisa - "Sinceramente" (Leo, #1) {6} vs The 8-Bit Big Band f/ Alan H. Green - "Pollyanna" (Khan, #6) {6.4}
Quadeca f/ Kevin Abstract - "TEXAS BLUE" (willapted33, #1) {9.4} vs Taryn - "Love Letters" (jtd, #6) {6.5} quad’s last album was always more impressive than something i actually enjoyed listening to, this is not an issue i have with scrapyard
Willi Carlisle - "Critterland" (wheatsquares33, #1) {8.5} vs Addison Rae f/ Charli XCX - "2 die 4" (rnb, #6) {6.6} i will check out the full critterland album at some stage… he’s 2/2 for me so far we deserved von dutch or speed drive

Cosmorat - "Backseat Baby" (deca, #1) vs Judas Priest - "Invincible Shield" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #6) Wish I liked Backseat Baby more than I actually do, it had elements I liked and elements I didn't. Solid metal song and it's cool to see Judas Priest here!
Reneé Rapp - "Someone Gets Hurt" (keatonzab, #1) vs Kirin J Callinan - "Crazier Idea" (dremolus, #6) Neither did much for me but I can never get into show tunes (and the original Mean Girls is one of my favorite movies, lol)
Twenty One Pilots - "Overcompensate" (macattack, #1) vs Hannah Jadagu - "Say It Now" (Zach, #6) Say It Now was a nice discovery! Not huge on TOP tbh
MGMT - "Nothing Changes" (Mayman, #1) vs Matt Schuster - "Thought You Were" (bigfan101, #6) I thought Thought You Were was kinda generic tbh whereas Nothing Changes was beautiful
Annalisa - "Sinceramente" (Leo, #1) vs The 8-Bit Big Band f/ Alan H. Green - "Pollyanna" (Khan, #6)
Quadeca f/ Kevin Abstract - "TEXAS BLUE" (willapted33, #1) vs Taryn - "Love Letters" (jtd, #6) Both were solid, I feel like Love Letters will need more help
Willi Carlisle - "Critterland" (wheatsquares33, #1) vs Addison Rae f/ Charli XCX - "2 die 4" (rnb, #6) on the fence here tbh

Cosmorat - "Backseat Baby" (deca, #1) vs Judas Priest - "Invincible Shield" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #6) "backseat baby" is one of the most disjointed songs i've ever heard and we love it for that. judas priest isn't a band im too familiar with though, which i chalk up to the fact they're simply before my time. what i've heard of their new album though totally isn't bad. its pretty damn good, dare i say! but backseat baby is better 😌
Reneé Rapp - "Someone Gets Hurt" (keatonzab, #1) vs Kirin J Callinan - "Crazier Idea" (dremolus, #6) "someone gets hurt" is just kind of *there* for me. nothing really stuck out to me in either a negative or positive way. "crazier idea" is like the best prefab sprout they never wrote. great discovery!
Twenty One Pilots - "Overcompensate" (macattack, #1) vs Hannah Jadagu - "Say It Now" (Zach, #6) "overcompensate" isn't my favorite from twenty one pilots tbh tbh. not bad, but didn't really do much for me. "say it now" though was a pretty solid slice of indie pop.
MGMT - "Nothing Changes" (Mayman, #1) vs Matt Schuster - "Thought You Were" (bigfan101, #6) ngl, i've been putting off listening to "loss of life" for some time despite "mother nature" and especially "bubblegum dog" being really impressive singles. "nothing changes" may be a sign i have to change this soon though since this is also really impressive. "thought you were" just sounds like standard adult contemporary with a vague country twinge... not a big fan.
Annalisa - "Sinceramente" (Leo, #1) vs The 8-Bit Big Band f/ Alan H. Green - "Pollyanna" (Khan, #6) "sinceramente" is catchy and not a bad song by any means, but standard europop fare imo. this cover of "pollyanna" meanwhile is actually a really interesting take on the song. nothing can ever match the original, but that doesn't mean this isn't a damn good cover.
Quadeca f/ Kevin Abstract - "TEXAS BLUE" (willapted33, #1) vs Taryn - "Love Letters" (jtd, #6) kevin abstrsact still exists in the year of our lord 2024??? jokes aside though, texas blue is really a beautiful song. i gotta check out more of quadeca's discography tbh tbh. "love letters" isn't bad though, but not really my thing.
Willi Carlisle - "Critterland" (wheatsquares33, #1) vs Addison Rae f/ Charli XCX - "2 die 4" (rnb, #6) i'm gonna have to listen to "critterland" in full soon, won't i? this is the second amazing song i've heard off of this album so far. my thoughts on "2 die 4" though are much in the same as with "i got it bad" from the last round. not bad, but others have much more inspired takes on this sort of electropop and the charli xcx feature doesn't really do much for me.

Cosmorat - "Backseat Baby" (deca, #1) vs Judas Priest - "Invincible Shield" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #6)This was the hardest matchup of this set
Reneé Rapp - "Someone Gets Hurt" (keatonzab, #1) vs Kirin J Callinan - "Crazier Idea" (dremolus, #6) Twenty One Pilots - "Overcompensate" (macattack, #1) vs Hannah Jadagu - "Say It Now" (Zach, #6)MGMT - "Nothing Changes" (Mayman, #1) vs Matt Schuster - "Thought You Were" (bigfan101, #6) Annalisa - "Sinceramente" (Leo, #1) vs The 8-Bit Big Band f/ Alan H. Green - "Pollyanna" (Khan, #6) Sinceramente is a bop, one of my favorite discoveries here. Pollyana is pretty good too.
Quadeca f/ Kevin Abstract - "TEXAS BLUE" (willapted33, #1) vs Taryn - "Love Letters" (jtd, #6)Willi Carlisle - "Critterland" (wheatsquares33, #1) vs Addison Rae f/ Charli XCX - "2 die 4" (rnb, #6) Critterland is the best song of this whole set, in my opinion.

Cosmorat - "Backseat Baby" (deca, #1) vs Judas Priest - "Invincible Shield" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #6)
Backseat Baby is somewhat catchy and has a couple of aspects that could turn me off but still manages to be a good song. Invincible Shield sounds awesome. Judas Priest is a band I should spend more time with to get more experience with heavy metal music that doesn't involve aggressive screaming.
Reneé Rapp - "Someone Gets Hurt" (keatonzab, #1) vs Kirin J Callinan - "Crazier Idea" (dremolus, #6)
I love the melody and production on Crazier Idea while the singing is good enough. Someone Gets Hurt is fine? It's not a bad song, I am just not very interested in show tunes.
Twenty One Pilots - "Overcompensate" (macattack, #1) vs Hannah Jadagu - "Say It Now" (Zach, #6)
Twenty One Pilots is a band I have largely ignored over the years. The production on Overcompensate sounds so cool, yet I am kind of iffy on the singing and rapping. Say It Now has more enjoyable singing and an indie pop style suitable for SiriusXMU.
MGMT - "Nothing Changes" (Mayman, #1) vs Matt Schuster - "Thought You Were" (bigfan101, #6)
I am feeling the emotions and instrumentation in Nothing Changes. Thought You Were is bland in comparison.
Annalisa - "Sinceramente" (Leo, #1) vs The 8-Bit Big Band f/ Alan H. Green - "Pollyanna" (Khan, #6)
It's not often that I hear songs sung in Italian. I can enjoy most of Sinceramente except for the refrain so it falls short of good. The Pollyanna cover is an interesting choice and is mostly solid. For videogame music covers, I prefer insaneintherainmusic.
Quadeca f/ Kevin Abstract - "TEXAS BLUE" (willapted33, #1) vs Taryn - "Love Letters" (jtd, #6)
The Quadeca song has to be my favorite song in this set. I love the vibes and experimental instrumentation and it is the best song I've ever heard with 'Texas' in the title. Taryn is a good obscure R&B pick, it's just in an unfortunate matchup.
Willi Carlisle - "Critterland" (wheatsquares33, #1) vs Addison Rae f/ Charli XCX - "2 die 4" (rnb, #6)
Bluegrass/country is not one of my favorite genres. However, I do enjoy Critterland and find the lyrics easy to listen to. 2 die 4 is decent and short, not very interested in it.

Cosmorat - "Backseat Baby" (deca, #1) vs Judas Priest - "Invincible Shield" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #6) Normally I would go for the more bratty indie rock song but the vocals on Backseat were just not my thing and the production wasn't that catchy either. I haven't been wowed by what Judas riest have done for this album but they're still competent musicians even if their best days are behind them.
Reneé Rapp - "Someone Gets Hurt" (keatonzab, #1) vs Kirin J Callinan - "Crazier Idea" (dremolus, #6) Renee Rapp is a very talented actress who deserves a better movie.
Twenty One Pilots - "Overcompensate" (macattack, #1) vs Hannah Jadagu - "Say It Now" (Zach, #6) Tyler Joseph, go away
MGMT - "Nothing Changes" (Mayman, #1) vs Matt Schuster - "Thought You Were" (bigfan101, #6) Ooooh, that's that good shit
Annalisa - "Sinceramente" (Leo, #1) vs The 8-Bit Big Band f/ Alan H. Green - "Pollyanna" (Khan, #6) Maybe some video game music works betters in context of the game. Sinceramente isn't really the type of music I'd listen to normally but for a song for a contest, I actually dug the beat and the hook was really catchy
Quadeca f/ Kevin Abstract - "TEXAS BLUE" (willapted33, #1) vs Taryn - "Love Letters" (jtd, #6) I still need to get to Quadeca's album but listening to this man I really should get to it because this was fantastic, my first favorite discovery
Willi Carlisle - "Critterland" (wheatsquares33, #1) vs Addison Rae f/ Charli XCX - "2 die 4" (rnb, #6) This was actually really hard. I actually dug Willi's album more than I expected and this is a fun tune...but that hook man. Idec if this are just leftovers from other pop acts, I will be tuning into whatever Addison puts out next.

Cosmorat - "Backseat Baby" (deca, #1) vs Judas Priest - "Invincible Shield" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #6) "Backseat Baby" is kinda strange but I dig it. (7/10) "Invincible Shield" is pretty good as well. I think I might even prefer it to "Panic Attack" from the 2023 RYM rankdown. (7/10)
Reneé Rapp - "Someone Gets Hurt" (keatonzab, #1) vs Kirin J Callinan - "Crazier Idea" (dremolus, #6) "Someone Gets Hurt" is maybe the most devoid of quality song I've heard in a while. (1/10) "Crazier Idea" is quite nice; it invokes the sounds of the 80s without being a rehash. (7/10)
Twenty One Pilots - "Overcompensate" (macattack, #1) vs Hannah Jadagu - "Say It Now" (Zach, #6) "Overcompensate" has a cool beat, but is brought down by the corniest rapping ever. (4/10) "Say It Now" is another really nice sounding song with some touching lyrics. (8/10)
MGMT - "Nothing Changes" (Mayman, #1) vs Matt Schuster - "Thought You Were" (bigfan101, #6) "Nothing Changes" is probably the best song that I've heard from this MGMT album and the only one where I really understand the love (8/10) "Thought You Were" is unfortunately a very bland country song. I guess it doesn't really do anything wrong, but it doesn't really do much of anything either. (4/10)
Annalisa - "Sinceramente" (Leo, #1) vs The 8-Bit Big Band f/ Alan H. Green - "Pollyanna" (Khan, #6) "Sinceramente" is a great dance-pop song and is probably a bit better than the song that actually won Sanremo 2024. (8/10) "Pollyanna" is one of the single best pieces of video game music ever made, but this rendition kinda does it a great disservice if I'm being honest. (5/10)
Quadeca f/ Kevin Abstract - "TEXAS BLUE" (willapted33, #1) vs Taryn - "Love Letters" (jtd, #6) "TEXAS BLUE" feels like the exact kind of song that should be hitting me hard, but instead it does absolutely nothing for me unfortunately. (5/10) "Love Letters" is a simple but great R&B song. (8/10)
Willi Carlisle - "Critterland" (wheatsquares33, #1) vs Addison Rae f/ Charli XCX - "2 die 4" (rnb, #6) "Critterland" was quite pretty. Love the lil fella on the album art too. (9/10, best of the set) "2 die 4" has always been my least favorite from Addison Rae's EP, even though I still like the track. It's up against very strong competition, though. (7/10)

Cosmorat - "Backseat Baby" (deca, #1) vs Judas Priest - "Invincible Shield" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #6)
- Backseat Baby was kinda wild but in a good way? I liked it. Invincible Shield was fine, nothing too special imo
Reneé Rapp - "Someone Gets Hurt" (keatonzab, #1) vs Kirin J Callinan - "Crazier Idea" (dremolus, #6)
- I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been kinda hooked on the Mean Girls soundtrack since seeing the movie. I like the scene Someone Gets Hurt is in! I feel like the vocalist in Crazier Idea wasn’t designed for this song, it just sounded kinda off
Twenty One Pilots - "Overcompensate" (macattack, #1) vs Hannah Jadagu - "Say It Now" (Zach, #6)
- Both of these are solid but Say It Now is clicking a little bit more for me
MGMT - "Nothing Changes" (Mayman, #1) vs Matt Schuster - "Thought You Were" (bigfan101, #6)
- Not the best MGMT song but still good. Matt’s song was alright
Annalisa - "Sinceramente" (Leo, #1) vs The 8-Bit Big Band f/ Alan H. Green - "Pollyanna" (Khan, #6)
I liked these both pretty similarly! Both were vibes.
Quadeca f/ Kevin Abstract - "TEXAS BLUE" (willapted33, #1) vs Taryn - "Love Letters" (jtd, #6)
- This Quadeca song is much different than expected, it’s good though. Love Letters clicked a tiny bit more for me but both of these are great!
Willi Carlisle - "Critterland" (wheatsquares33, #1) vs Addison Rae f/ Charli XCX - "2 die 4" (rnb, #6)
- Same as the last Addison song, it’s a fine pop song but doesn’t really do much more than that. I liked Critterland

Cosmorat - "Backseat Baby" (deca, #1) vs Judas Priest - "Invincible Shield" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #6) Backseat Baby is certainly a more interesting listen, but while I am not that big on the Judas Priest album, their songs feel better in smaller doses and in the title track, they constantly deliver a variety of guitar solos.
Reneé Rapp - "Someone Gets Hurt" (keatonzab, #1) vs Kirin J Callinan - "Crazier Idea" (dremolus, #6) Don't really get the context of Someone Gets Hurt but as for now, it sounds over-dramatic and the singer cannot sell it. Not a fan of some phrasing in Crazier Idea, but musically it's solid.
Twenty One Pilots - "Overcompensate" (macattack, #1) vs Hannah Jadagu - "Say It Now" (Zach, #6) 21p should not doing rap parts still. Say It Now has slightly safe but pleasant dream pop sound.
MGMT - "Nothing Changes" (Mayman, #1) vs Matt Schuster - "Thought You Were" (bigfan101, #6) Heard Nothing Changes before from listening to the album and the horn transition is the one part of the album that I really like. Thought You Were has the trite AC Country sound that I dislike. Also "has been called a Chris Stapleton, Tyler Childers love child" from Spotify bio? What an insult to both artists.
Annalisa - "Sinceramente" (Leo, #1) vs The 8-Bit Big Band f/ Alan H. Green - "Pollyanna" (Khan, #6) Sinceramente just has Eurovision written over it but it's probably one of the better ones in recent memory. This jazz version of Pollyanna while obviously is inferior to the original, is a cute listen.
Quadeca f/ Kevin Abstract - "TEXAS BLUE" (willapted33, #1) vs Taryn - "Love Letters" (jtd, #6) Surprisingly close. TEXAS BLUE is an emotional journey, but for some reason I am not too eager to revisit it. Love Letters meanwhile is a solid R&B bop. Though this time I value the effort put in TEXAS BLUE more.
Willi Carlisle - "Critterland" (wheatsquares33, #1) vs Addison Rae f/ Charli XCX - "2 die 4" (rnb, #6) As I said before, we stand Willi Carlisle in this house with his bold queer imagery in country/folk music. Even easier to vote for Willi Carlisle because 2 die 4 does not scream interesting pop to me at all. Charli XCX feels under-utilized in that song too.
