This last one is my favorite song to be released in 2023
Turbines/Pigs(Black Country, New Road)

I've cut down a lot of these reviews because of the character limit, but this one was insanely long. Just go listen to the song and form your own opinions about it, I don't want to cut my review down.

Romantic Homocide(D4vd)
B
Rather famous, has a fair bit of emotion, but Im not that crazy about it. Its good, but it feels a little short and thematically shallow, and it sounds incredibly similar to his other song on this list. That being said, its definitely still a well-made song

AMG(Natanael Cano, Peso Pluma, Gallito Ballesteros)

Nice song, makes me feel like Im at a fancy evening party with a big fountain. I enjoyed it for the same reason I liked a lot of the other mariachi songs, fun instruments, fun intrumentals, fun melodies.

OMG(New Jeans)
C
Reminds me a lot of kpop. It might actually be kpop, Im not really following the lyrics enough to determine if it is. Reminds me specifically of very mid kpop, like "Magic" by Super Junior which I mentioned earlier. It just feels like your typical overdramatized boy-crazy pop song.

Me Porto Bonito(Bad Bunny, Chencho Corleone)
C
Im not really a fan of this genre. I dont really know what it is, but Ive heard it a lot and I always come out of it just wondering "Why". Its like listening to someone go on and on about the most mundane of stories

See You Again(Tyler the Creator, Kali Uchis)
A
I said, OK OK OK OK OK OK OK. Iconic banger, Tylers music has so much personality. The drums are almost generic but it does switch it up. The instrumental is so lively, it feels like youre in a wholy new world.

Fun and upbeat, melody could get a bit repetitive but the instrumental was very vibrant. I like horns.

Vampire(Olivia Rodrigo)
C+
I didnt really like this song. Her metaphor seems very inconsistent, Her performance on this song just didnt impress me, this really reminded me of some of Taylor Swifts more boring pop tracks. Also, the way she said "Fame F-er" felt gross, I did not like that

Escapism(RAYE, 070 Shake)
B-
Shes a good singer, the instrumental is nice mostly, the drums are yet again the same one used in every single song. It could definitely get annoying at times, especially during the last half, but it still manages to be a nice song regardless.

Mockingbird (Eminem)
C-
Sampling Mocking Bird was a weird choice, I really dont like Eminems singing, and his rapping wasnt all that interesting on here. The rhythm was very boring, the theme was fine? The song had almost no metaphor. There wasnt any nuance, and the sample wasnt a metaphor.

Like Crazy (Jimin)
B
I really dont like the whispering in the beginning. The drums are generic but everything else in this song is nice. Jimin has a nice voice and sings a nice melody, the instrumental does a lot of fun stuff, this was a very interesting song. Just remove the ASMR and its fine

WHERE SHE GOES (Bad Bunny)
The singer has a nice voice, and the instrumental is rather jumpy, I like it. It somehow reminds me of "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish, likely because of the bass, but they dont really have anything in common

Blinding Lights (The Weeknd)
B+
Its a certifiable banger, but I still dont think it comes close to being Abels best. The drums arent anything special, I feel like his delivery is kinda weird in certain places, but despite this the instrumental and his singing make this a great song.

Blank Space (Taylor Swift)
C
The metaphors in this song are delivered as if theyre something special, but literally anyone could say it, its the most basic song in the world. The drums are the most overused drums in all of music, the instrumental is pretty baren. Overall, this song just has nothing

Snooze (SZA)

Sweater Weather (The Neighbourhood)
B-
I dont know that Ive ever heard the original before. I think the BPM is a bit high, this song feels like its faster than its supposed to be. The song is mostly good, but I really couldnt get past the fact that my brain could not keep up with it, it hurt my head

At the beginning I was excited because the beat was changed, but then it just turned back to normal. I like the girls voice on this track, its nice and soothing. Asides from that, the instrumental was nice and the melody was sometimes interesting
