9/4/24, 2p
welcome to the AUGUST MUSIC ROUNDUP (NAME STILL PENDIN)!!! sorry this ones late as hell because i forgot to publish this when i was visiting my fiance & sib in laws lmao. short and sweet one for the month of august baby
Jamie Paige ft. kasane teto -- Cadmium Colors
BRAND NEW vocasynth song just dropped!!! as a longtime teto fan an self-proclaimed very big synthv teto enjoyer when this dropped i literally dropped everythin to add it to the august music review. (so yes, sneak behind the curtain: this was written within 30 minutes of release lol)
extreme banger. as 1/3rd of the team behind
butcher vanity i shouldn't be surprised an i AIN'T but holy shit it's SO GOOD. the chorus got stuck in my head before the song was even OVER. the teto tuning is actually astronomically good;; people who understand her range is more midtones than pure high soprano a la miku have my whole heart n soul. definitely give it a listen if ya like more modern pop/synth sounds & are lookin' for new vocasynth music. 9.5/10 the tunin is just a teeeeeeny bit too high scream on the chorus for me ta give it a perfect score but it's damn fuckin' close.
Kendrick Lamar -- Not Like Us
i know everybody and their other has heard this by now but i watched a
three and a half hour long video essay about the kendrick v drake feud (which i have linked there and you should watch it, it's legitimately fantastic) and had to listen to this song for the first time. it's genuinely a slapper. i don't think i can have deep thoughts on this because i really just think you should maybe make time for the video essay, but besides being a certified banger the bars here are really fucking good. epitome of the stop stop he's already dead meme.
deco*27 ft. hatsune miku -- Sad Girl Sex
dude what happened to deco*27? i happened to catch this one like 30m after it released while lounging in the morning and i was legitimately baffled to a new degree.
rarely do i ever understand the criticisms of "every song by this artist sounds the same!!!" but in this specific case i understand it so intimately, especially with all the other older vocaloid fans who are similarly baffled as to how they went from one of the iconic greats of the classic vocaloid era to this. this song sounds identical to rabbit hole, and from what ive seen, identical to every other song theyve released in the past two years? literally the same melody and same opening "hook" format and everything. unsurprisingly, this song also sucks! i didnt like rabbit hole! i dont like this one either!
the name sad girl sex is based though. 2/10 i might be giving it more points than rabbit hole because it didnt majorly let me down after all the hype but also because when i first heard it i was lounging in canada and not as upset as i could be. what happened to this producer, man?
yeah short & sweet one sorry! i was going to canada AND baseball this month dude they had a pearl jam vs nirvana battle of the bands during a mariners game. in seattle, to clarify. yes, they played smells like teen spirit for nirvanas side. literally an insane hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby event
