Tonight we have our first and only tie of the rate, as Recover & Smell The Roses received exactly the same scores. Highest Scores: 11 x 1 (RainOnFire), 9 x 1 (vague) Pop3blow2 (9) felt this was a stronger moment on the album ( This kind of modern throwback soul direction just feels so much better for her in this era), OspreyQueen (8) does too ( The stripped-back and restrained feel of this one weirdly makes it stand out over all the bland attempts at bops on this album).
The do-do, do-do-do-do melody is so simple as well, but so perfectly fits the song).
She really has a way to her lyrics that just resonates with you. Love the verses about oxygen, flowers, the mundane things about shoelaces.I love how she writes. RUNAWAY (10) is also a fan of the lyrics ( love love love this closer. I actually think it features some of Natasha's best songwriting. It's a stripped back album-closer, with a similar existential theme to Unwritten's Wild Horses/Sojourn. isn't spared tonight, as Smell The Roses is eliminated. Lowest Scores: 5 x 3 (DJHazey, Verandi, RainOnFire) Highest Scores: 10 x 1 (RUNAWAY), 9 x 1 (pop3blow2) OspreyQueen (8.5) thinks the song would fare well in 2020 ( I’m kinda shook by how fresh this production sounds? It could easily be a Mabel or M.O song). RUNAWAY (7.1) thinks its omission from the US edition was deserved ( I really like this cute song, but again, it’s kind of forgettable in the whole scheme of the album, so totally understandable as to why it was left off the international versions). Pop3blow2 (8.25) somehow manages to both compliment and insult the song at the same time ( An edged up Radio Disney bop). The song wasn't included on the US edition of the album, and I wonder if that's partly to blame for its poor showing?Įpic Chocolat (6) thinks there's a sonic/lyric mis-match ( I like the theme and the music but not together). Lowest Scores: 2 x 1 (fatyoshi), 3 x 1 (Sail On)įrogs and Princes kicks off tonight's eliminations, the 2nd Unwritten track to leave after Sojourn became the first 25 eliminations ago. Highest Scores: 10 x 1 (Robsolete), 9 x 1 (abael) And right now I rarely even get to do that!!). I always go to convenience stores to buy stuff I don’t really need just so I can say I did something that day. OspreyQueen (7.5) was touched by the track during quarantine ( Not a particularly amazing song but I LOVE the corner store lyric. Her vocal is great here) & RUNAWAY (8.7) was also a fan of the middle 8 ( this song really evolved in the middle-8 and I really connected to it).
Pop3blow2 (9) seemed to enjoy it ( Very understated and pretty. They're just a little nondescript prior to the bridge, whereas her discography feels built on these super-specific wordy verses. Sonically it's sound, but the lyrics let it down a little for me. It's an understated track, definitely a welcome breather following It Could Be Love. Where We Going Now is the latest Roll With Me track to roll right out of this rate pity me I'm really struggling to not use the same intro for each write-up ddd. Highest Scores: 9.25 x 1 (Remorque), 9 x 2 (Sprockrooster, pop3blow2)
