Searching for New Music session #4
Welcome back or welcome, period. Let's see what I can dig up this time...
[sep]
Song: "Long Live Rock"
Artist: Halestorm
Album: Long Live Rock - Single
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUo-OExmTyo][/center]
This band is so overrated! Sure, Lzzy Hale is a good singer and it's not that their music is necessarily bad, it's just that they're so unoriginal! Their music is made up of generic rock clichés and this song here pretty much sums that up. Unoriginal and unimpressive.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Head Right"
Artist: Wilderado
Album: Head Right - Single
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFpxBFm4k0s][/center]
Meh. No add.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "weapon"
Artist: Against The Current
Album: weapon - Single
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6FixoUyQQQ][/center]
It's okay, but no add.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Better Without You"
Artist: Evanescence
Album: The Bitter Truth
This is another one of those bands I never particularly cared for. But like always, I'm going to have an open mind and give them a try. There's already been a few artists I didn't like but they had a song that I enjoyed enough to add. Maybe Evanescence will be too.
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUCF50ByaaM][/center]
Strike that. I'll tell you what the bitter truth is: I am better without [b]you,[/b] Evanescence!
I couldn't resist. 🤣 But seriously, no add.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Open up the Heavens"
Artist: Jade Bird
Album: Open up the Heavens - Single
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3WXKdIs8bE][/center]
Close enough.
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Song: "You Hear Georgia"
Artist: Blackberry Smoke
Album: You Hear Georgia
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4Zk3hY-_A8][/center]
Not bad for a country song, but also not good enough. No add.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Vendetta"
Artist: Iceage
Album: Seek Shelter
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yywnpQ2vRhM][/center]
Good! Good enough for an add.
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Song: "Pay Your Way In Pain"
Artist: St. Vincent
Album: Daddy's Home
I usually admire St. Vincent's work, but this one isn't doing much for me. I'd try another song from this album, but this is the only one available so far. Maybe in the near future, I'll revisit St. Vincent and find a song from her new album I can add. But until then...
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "It's Still Cool If You Don't"
Artist: Briston Maroney
Album: Sunflower
Lol, this song title sounds like something I would say. Relatable already.
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wJFpYrpW-k][/center]
This is a good song, but it doesn't hook me enough to add it.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Malachi, Goodbye"
Artist: Samantha Crain
Album: I Guess We Live Here Now - EP
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wczxeqYtKA][/center]
There's [i]some[/i] appeal, but not enough... Let's try another.
Song: "Bloomsday"
Artist: Samantha Crain
Album: I Guess We Live Here Now - EP
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38mbq59PJDk][/center]
A little better, but still not enough. I'm not sure why, but I really want to love this. But I can't.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Be Sweet"
Artist: Japanese Breakfast
Album: Jubilee
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZfcZEIo6Bw][/center]
*first few seconds* Ooo, nice start!
*third of the way through* Without even finishing the song, I can tell you already this is going to be an add!
*nearing the end* Great song, through and through! Now that I think of it, this artist sounds a little familiar. Maybe I added a song of hers to a previous playlist? Whatever the case, I'm digging this!
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Song: "My Blue Suit"
Artist: Matt Sweeney & Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Album: Superwolves
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG6l7YB-bok][/center]
You know, the thing about slow songs is that they'll either be captivating or they'll just be a bore. This one falls under the latter.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "SITUATIONS"
Artist: Paris Texas
Album: SITUATIONS - Single
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGVfA9bX7GE][/center]
This one is even more boring.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "hypnotized"
Artist: Tune-Yards
Album: sketchy.
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4I9_9L1G5Q][/center]
Not bad... Let's try another though.
Song: "make it right."
Artist: Tune-Yards
Album: sketchy.
[center][i][No video available][/i][/center]
Not quite... But I'm going to try one more.
Song: "hold yourself."
Artist: Tune-Yards
Album: sketchy.
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hcG6UgTHiU][/center]
This is the best of the three from this artist/album, but unfortunately, it's still not enough to make the cut. No add.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Heaven (feat. Sarah Bonito)"

Yawn!
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
This is turning out to be a real sorry session so far...
Song: "Got Me Feeling Good"
Artist: David Shaw
Album: Got Me Feeling Good - Single
[center][i][No video available][/i][/center]
It's alright. Just alright though.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Tattoo Zero"
Artist: Tomahawk
Album: Tonic Immobility
Isn't this one of the like 20 different bands from Mike Patton? I know he's got a devoted cult following who loves to ride his diсk all the time, but I've never cared for Mike Patton or much of any of his projects. I'll still give this a try though.
[center][i][No video available][/i][/center]
Yeah, I'm not impressed. But just to show how open-minded I am, I'm going to try two more songs from this project.
Song: "Valentine Shine"
Artist: Tomahawk
Album: Tonic Immobility
[center][i][No video available][/i][/center]
This one's okay. Doesn't make the cut. But they've one more chance to do so.
Song: "SHHH!"
Artist: Tomahawk
Album: Tonic Immobility
[center][i][No video available][/i][/center]
I'm afraid this just doesn't work for me. At least there was one decent song. But let it never be said that I'm not open-minded nor that I never gave any of Patton's projects a fair chance!
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Mountain (feat. Frank Bello)"
Artist: Crobot
Album: Rat Child - EP
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8uLFqkpSyo][/center]
How generic. 😑
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Dynamite. (feat. Brandy)"
Artist: Gallant
Album: Neptune
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XMfVRc5a4k][/center]
Almost, but a few hooks short of an add.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Leave The Door Open (feat. Bootsy Collins)"
Artist: Silk Sonic
Album: Leave The Door Open - Single
This is a supergroup featuring Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak. Featuring funk legend Bootsy Collins, no less. Such a bloated collaboration had better be damn good!
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adLGHcj_fmA][/center]
Maybe not [i]damn[/i] good, but good enough to make the cut.
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Song: "MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)"
Artist: Lil Nas X
Album: MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name) - Single
I understand the music video for this song has been causing quite a commotion lately. Not that I care a whole lot about that and I've no interest in watching the music video myself. All I care about is the music, so let's [u]hear[/u] what all the fuss is about.
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6swmTBVI83k][/center]
It's okay. I wasn't expecting too much out of it considering he's a popular music act, but that wasn't bad. But I don't like it enough to add it, I'm afraid. Respect to this guy for piѕѕing off tight-assed right-wingers (seriously, it's 2021, people...), but the song doesn't make the cut.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Dancing With The Devil"
Artist: Demi Lovato
Album: Dancing With The Devil... The Art of Starting Over
I honestly have never heard a single song from Demi Lovato. Maybe I have and just didn't know it was her, but I can't even think of one from her I'm familiar. Consider this my first time giving her a try.
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAg69LaLlS0][/center]
She has a nice voice and this song isn't bad. It has nice soul feel to it. I think I'll try another song.
Song: "Anyone"
Artist: Demi Lovato
Album: Dancing With The Devil... The Art of Starting Over
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW3aJ-3SEVU][/center]
Strange. I enjoyed her singing in the last song but don't care for it in this one. Another.
Song: "What Other People Say (feat. Sam Fischer)"
Artist: Demi Lovato
Album: Dancing With The Devil... The Art of Starting Over
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Spltlqhguo][/center]
It has some catchiness to it, but at the same time, I'm not hearing a whole lot of progression from the last two tracks. Meaning there's a lot of similarities with those songs to where they sound the same in a lot of ways. Which is really typical in popular music. The first song I listened to was the best one, but none of them hook me enough to add them.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "El Makinon (feat. Mariah Angeliq)"
Artist: KAROL G
Album: KG0516
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jYEz66J_J4][/center]
*first several seconds* Ya era hora de que consiga una cancion en espanol! A pesar de que es reggaeton...
*halfway through* No pinche bueno... todo el reggaeton suena igual!!
[center][big]RECHAZADA ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Can't Let You Go"
Artist: Ali Gatie
Album: The Idea Of Her
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx_dyZ1RqPM][/center]
Okay... But I think this guy can do better,
Song: "Do You Believe (feat. Marshmello & Ty Dolla $ign)"
Artist: Ali Gatie
Album: The Idea Of Her
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94K6v7B4WxU][/center]
I was right! You can't hide from me, quality tracks. 😈 I really enjoy this one. Might be worth another listen or two later.
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
Song: "3 O'Clock Things"
Artist: AJR
Album: OK Orchestra
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OgyPJmTtuo][/center]
Does nothing for me, but I'll try another.
Song: "Way Less Sad"
Artist: AJR
Album: OK Orchestra
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlVhUbGa2pg][/center]
This does about the same as the last one. I don't dislike it, I just don't feel anything for it. One more song though.
Song: "Bang!"
Artist: AJR
Album: OK Orchestra
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4THFRpw68oQ][/center]
Still nothing, lol. Okay, that's enough from these guys.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Laurelhurst"
Artist: Goth Babe
Album: Protect Our Winters - Single
Goth Babe? Lol, I'll bet it has nothing to do with goth.
[center][i][No video available][/i][/center]
*once singing starts* Apparently it has nothing to do with babes either 😂 (I get that it's obviously just a moniker, btw.)
*halfway through* It's okay. No add though.

Song: "Cool Girl"

Meh. Boring.
[center][big]REJECTED ❌[/big][/center]
Song: "Head Up High"
Artist: Fitz
Album: Head Up High
Michael Fitzpatrick a.k.a. Fitz of Fitz & the Tantrums! I heard he had a solo album out and have been meaning to check it out myself. Let's see how well Fitz does without any Tantrums, lol.
[center][youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0En6XOqXTMY][/center]
*first several seconds* Off to a good start!
*nearing the end* I liked it! Doesn't sound terribly different from Fitz & the Tantrums. Like, if I didn't know anything about this song and someone told me it was the new Fitz & the Tantrums single, I'd believe them. But it's still good! It gets a much-needed add.
[center][big]ADDED ✔️[/big][/center]
[sep]
And that is going to do it for this session. Our end tally is 29 artists featured and out of 39 songs, 6 were added. At least this session didn't turn out nearly as bad as I thought midway through. Even if I may complain about the amount of rejects I come across, don't get me wrong, I am still very much enjoying myself. If you've been following along, I hope you enjoyed reading and hopefully found more songs you liked than I did, lol.
Thanks for joining me!

Michael Fitzpatrick a.k.a. Fitz of Fitz & the Tantrums! I heard he had a solo album out and have been meaning to check it out myself. Let's see how well Fitz does without any Tantrums, lol.

*first several seconds* Off to a good start!
*nearing the end* I liked it! Doesn't sound terribly different from Fitz & the Tantrums. Like, if I didn't know anything about this song and someone told me it was the new Fitz & the Tantrums single, I'd believe them. But it's still good! It gets a much-needed add.

And that is going to do it for this session. Our end tally is 29 artists featured and out of 39 songs, 6 were added. At least this session didn't turn out nearly as bad as I thought midway through. Even if I may complain about the amount of rejects I come across, don't get me wrong, I am still very much enjoying myself. If you've been following along, I hope you enjoyed reading and hopefully found more songs you liked than I did, lol.
Thanks for joining me!
