Iā€™m about to review Kings & Queens since thereā€™s so much hype around it on here, but if youā€™re expecting something positive, youā€™re gonna be wrong, so if so, scroll away.

Hi everybody, LameLemur102 here, and itā€™s time for a review of the Ava Max song, ā€œKings & Queensā€. There was so much hype on here and ABBA comparisons, so I thought I was gonna enjoy this, but oh no, what I got was a real disappointment. Firstly, the structure is simple and poorly written, especially as thereā€™s no second verse (the bridge might have to be it) and Ava Max delivers vocals that do absolutely nothing for me. It somehow gets even worse when we get to the guitar solo - I get it, itā€™s a pop song, theres not meant to be guitar, but itā€™s so computerised that I canā€™t like it one bit! The content is embarrassing too - it seems like just another feminist anthem, but dig deeper and sheā€™s basically saying that kings are weaker than queens! So yeah, not liking this one at all, Clap Your Hands is so much better! Iā€™m thinking a solid-strong 3/10. :(

avatar

ā‰ļø

1

Yeah, I agree. It's so repetitive and annoying.

Also the themes of feminism are not done well. Way too shallow and nonsensical.

I would also give a 3, maybe a 4. I actually used to like it quite a bit, but after listening to it so many times it just got worse for me.

avatar

šŸ§” oliviasnoodles šŸœ

Yeah, I agree, barely any structure and a bad message.

I didn't mind it at first but Capital overplayed it and it got on my nerves so much. :/

Did anyone notice they renamed the Urban (racist term but whatever) section to the Black Music section.

It's a bit racist to just call Black Music rap, that's just forcing black stereotypes.

At least they ditched the Urban chart (racist name) and the R&B part of the other charts name, which wasn't racist per say, more just wrong.

Quite a heavy shake up in the T#op 40 this week, which was needed in my opinion. Very happy to see Head & Heart chart in at number 15, although I think it will rise into the top 10 over the next couple of weeks.

What's also interesting to see is that Disclosure's recent song 'My High' has entered in at 86 - I really think this one has potential to do well in the charts but we'll see.

One song that could potentially enter the top 100 over the next few weeks is John Summit - Deep End. It seems to be circulating on TikTok lately and is in the Top 10 UK Viral Chart on Spotify. Its definitely worth a listen if you liked Pour the Milk and Pump It Up

2) Stan
3) Without Me
4) Godzilla
5) The Real Slim Shady
6) River
7) The Monster
8) Like Toy Soldiers
9) Just Lose It
10) Smack That

And here are my rankings of his studio albums (minus Infinite and 8 Mile)
1) The Marshall Mathers LP
2) The Eminem Show
3) The Marshall Mathers LP2
4) Recovery
5) The Slim Shady LP
6) Music To Be Murdered By
7) Encore
8) Relapse
9) Revival
10) Kamikaze

Ten studio albums and ten number one singles. :P

avatar

Only real disagreement is Relapse being too low on the albums list. Here's my ranking:

1. Relapse (10/10)
2. The Marshal Mathers LP (9/10)
3. The Eminem Show (9/10)
4. The Slim Shady LP (9/10)
5. The Marshal Mathers LP 2 (7/10)
6. Kamikaze (6/10)
7. Recovery (6/10)
8. Music To Be Murdered By (4/10)
9. Encore (3/10) (only because of Mockingbird, a top 5 Eminem song for me)
10. Revival (-10/10) (possibly the worst album of all time for me)

As you can tell, I'm mostly a fan of his older stuff, which was absolutely amazing. But past Relapse his albums are just not the same.

He's had some amazing songs like Bad Guy and many more since then, but albums as a whole, yikes.

Since the UK is absolutely enjoying Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's "Rain On Me", I want to share this song here as it compliments the feel of that song with it's breezy synths. I have been listening to them together for weeks now. Making a strong push for No. 1 on my Weekly Active Chart (updated Mondays on Headline's Billboard news article) is Janet Jackson's "When I Think Of You". It peaked at No. 10 in the UK in 1986 and No. 1 in the US. :)

WEEKLY CHART REVIEW (10/07/2020 - 16/07/2020)

This is one of those weeks where it doesnā€™t look like itā€™ll be too hectic on the surface, but dig a little deeper & youā€™ll see that last weekā€™s new music was all over the place, which has resulted in nine new songs here! That also means a really long review from me today, haha.

Anyway, while I said a couple weeks back that ā€˜Savage Loveā€™ being Song Of The Summer for 2020 was a bold prediction, Iā€™m now saying Iā€™ll be really surprised if it didnā€™t get that accolade! While itā€™s been competing with ā€˜Rockstarā€™ on streams for a while, its sales are well out in front & it's picking up way more momentum on the radio than any other song. Yeah, itā€™s not going anywhere for a whileā€¦ heck, itā€™s probably not even peaked in performance yet either!

Elsewhere, I really like ā€˜Dancing In The Moonlightā€™ finally getting some recognition outside of Capital FM to be one of the very few climbers we had this week, but the real reason most of the songs this week are falling (even despite none being placed on ACR) are due to the insane number of new arrivals this week.

The biggest of which, perhaps unsurprisingly, is ā€˜West Tenā€™ by AJ Tracey & Mabel, which is now a Top 10! Anyway, while I do like this a lot & it didnā€™t even need to grow on me this time, I do find that there are way too many similarities to ā€˜Ladbroke Groveā€™ here. The first big indicator is that he literally named the title of the song after his home area again without any reference to it in the content & he even enlisted the help of a rising female star to sing on the hook! That being said, while these similarities arenā€™t exactly amazing for originality, theyā€™re certainly appealing features to the song. Like Jorja Smith, Mabel brings her smooth & fresh vocals to a hook that will definitely stick in your mind, even though Iā€™m not sure about her chemistry with AJ Tracey here, but AJ Tracey himself is bringing a really fast lyrical flow! Seriously, you can tell that this guy is just naturally awesome with songwriting & especially freestyles. Even the content isnā€™t that far removed from what weā€™re used to with these two artists, mild bragging from AJ Tracey while also keeping the vibe of the song very summery & Mabel gaining independence from a man whoā€™s been troubling her! So yeah, while there are certainly a couple of issues here that will always bug me a little, theyā€™re thankfully only minor. Therefore, Iā€™m giving this a solid 7/10!

Now, that brings us on to Pop Smoke, who lands three debuts on this weekā€™s chart! Hereā€™s the thing, while I know the background behind his tragic death at such a young age, Iā€™ve only heard one song of his (ā€˜Diorā€™) & that was okay at best, so I didnā€™t really have any particular expectations for any of the songs he has here today. Anyway, Iā€™ll just run through these a bit faster than the other new entries! ā€˜The Wooā€™ has some interesting trap production, but the delivery from each rapper was fairly underwhelming, so Iā€™m giving this one a strong 5/10. ā€˜For The Nightā€™ was sadly a lot more dull until DaBaby stepped in, but even then, this is far from his best, so thatā€™s getting a solid 4/10! The last one, ā€˜Make It Rainā€™ didnā€™t even appear in the chart update despite charting low down last week, but Iā€™m liking Pop Smokeā€™s laid-back delivery here along with much more chilled production, so this is probably the best of the three with a solid 6/10. In general, Iā€™m certainly not against the breakthrough he had this week as my ratings show, but his music just isnā€™t for me! May he rest in peace though.

In fact, while weā€™re on the topic of rap songs, letā€™s go over the songs from that genre by some of the British newcomers! Unfortunately, Digga D has yet to really impress me with anything heā€™s put out, but man, I really donā€™t think heā€™s doing to do it with this. See, Digga D could have potential with how sincere he sounds & how he switches up his flow, but there are some real mixing issues with the homegrown production here, along with the fact that it fails to have any bombast or substance at all! Overall though, none of that matters anyway, but itā€™s the lyrics that killed this entirely for me. Sure, I couldā€™ve predicted the entirely immature description of this girlā€™s private parts, but the continued repetition of ā€œwoi-woi-woiā€, especially when itā€™s so high-pitched & aggravating, might be the worst thing Iā€™ve heard in a UK urban hit since KSI made the abomination that was ā€˜Poppinā€™ earlier this year! No, this is absolutely terrible, letā€™s pray it doesnā€™t start any kind of trend. Strong 2/10!

Then thereā€™s Deno teaming up with OFB (Bandokay & Double LZ) for ā€˜Circlesā€™! All Iā€™ve got to say is, youā€™re brave making a song with this title when Post Malone recently broke records with the song of the same name, but you know what, this actually turned out reasonably well. Whatā€™s pleasantly surprising about Deno is that I prefer him as a singer more than a rapper, but heā€™s got the kind of soulful vocals where autotune actually works for him, as this one appears to confirm! That being said, you get beyond the 45 second mark & the vibe feels very different, switching out the sombre & twinkling production for a very well-crafted drill beat, which seems to fluctuate in & out at just the right time. In general, the three rappers seem to spar really well with one another throughout! Iā€™m not sure if this stands out enough to have any significant staying power, but Iā€™m definitely digging this on first listen! Light 7/10.

Okay, letā€™s not put it off any longer, weā€™ve got to Kanye West, who as many of you know, Iā€™m not a fan of at all! Itā€™s fair to say I had my worries with this song, especially when heā€™s working alongside Ty Dolla $ign, FKA Twigs & Skrillex of all people on this. That being said, eh, Iā€™m more frustrated by this than disappointed! See, the brassy vocals sampled from the club classic ā€˜You Used To Love Meā€™ are still a signature dancefloor classic today, but they just donā€™t feel compatible in a predominantly Ty Dolla $ign song. To be honest, I actually start to get into this a bit more when he takes centre stage, delivery blunt but surprisingly emotionally deep lines over a groovy bass progression consisting of just four notes! A lot of this continues into Kanyeā€™s part too, even if his content is all about the Super Bowl, Grammys, voting & birth control (not surprised given his recent actions). However, the best part of the song wouldā€™ve lied within the end of the song from FKA Twigsā€™ outro, except the retro-house vibe ended so abruptly & simply didnā€™t last as long it should have! To be honest, this song didnā€™t sound anywhere near like I thought it would, but given everyone who was crammed onto this record, it turns out mostly fine overall. Solid 6/10!

One more rap song left & itā€™s one thatā€™s been getting a really polarising response all over social media, including on here, ā€˜Whatā€™s Poppinā€™ by Jack Harlow! Just to clarify, Iā€™ll only be reviewing the original as thatā€™s the version thatā€™s credited on OCCā€™s record (plus, I havenā€™t heard the remix yet, even if thatā€™s what ultimately got it took off ACR). Anyway, man, if thereā€™s a TikTok song from America thatā€™s crept up on me over these past few weeks, itā€™s this one! At first I thought his delivery was simply a mix of, say, G-Eazy & Logic, but then you realise that he maintained his consistently speedy flow for the entirety of a very extended verse & that he can somehow command that well alongside a quirky piano line & a fizzy trap beat, which actually leads to an intriguing idea here. Iā€™m never going to get on board with this in the same way that Coolocelot would, but at least I can say I enjoy this. Strong 7/10!

The last review is for a song that I literally only just heard for the first time, ā€˜Head & Heartā€™ by Joel Corry & MNEK, which is yet another collaboration that I didnā€™t see coming! Being an EDM fan, I donā€™t understand why I always leave listening to some bangers until the end of the tracking week. Among the guest singers, MNEK alone makes this more uplifting than both ā€˜Sorryā€™ & ā€˜Lonelyā€™ combined, even if Iā€™m not too sold on the ā€œheartbeatā€ style hook (but itā€™ll probably grow on me anyway). I think what Joel Corry brings this time which weā€™ve not really seen from him before are smooth & glimmering chords to accompany the drop, which would give this so much more attention in clubs that both of its predecessors if clubs were actually open! Overall, again, I mightā€™ve only just heard it, but that doesnā€™t mean it canā€™t be the best new entry of the week, which you know what, it actually is by a long way. Light 9/10 for this one!

Finally, the DaBaby remix of ā€˜Donā€™t Rushā€™ is somehow even better than the original, haha! Itā€™s a shame that none of the songs from the new Eurovision movie made this week, but it looks like that new Kid Cudi & Eminem collaboration will make a considerable impact on next weekā€™s chart.

Thatā€™s it from me, but I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! :)

Whatā€™s Poppin is a 7/10, Iā€™m pleased with how much itā€™s grown on you! For me, itā€™s a strong 9/10. West Ten is a decent 6/10 and Head & Heart is probably a light 8/10 from me. The Pop Smoke songs are cool too! :)

By the way, could we please have a review on Wash Us In The Blood? I know it didn't chart but I really want to know your opinion on it seeing as it's also a 10 for me.

I like rap, but I hate how we get loads of 1-weekers in the chart. With Joel Corry for example, he drops enough to get every single on an individual Now CD, whereas some rappers drop every other week it seems, and if they're UK, the chances are it'll go top 40. Also, Piran, the other day we had a chat about ACR, and I remembered about Christmas.

Oh yeah, ACR caused a lot of issues at Christmas, as it effectively robbed Mariah of finally getting to #1! :(

I love your #1 & #3! :D

#2 has grown on me a lot too, but I haven't heard #4 nor #5 yet.

Sorry, never been a fan of Kanye. :/

Plus I don't know why they're bothered about WeekNd in top 10 if they can fill a top 10 with Xmas songs šŸ™„

Piran

Haha, well he wouldn't be wrong! ;)

Neither are most people here. I get why though.

avatar

Piran

1

Yeah, exactly! Also, when songs are taken off ACR, it always happens a week after the song has gained enough in performance, so that's another flaw in its methodology. :/

See, I like his music, just not his personality. His BRITs performance from 2015 was fire though, I managed to hear it uncensored through YouTube lol. XD

avatar

Piran

1

Yeah, his music's okay, but it's more his personality I have problems with! :/

Agree with your point on performance though, that was amazing.

Thanks I hope FF can become my favourite hit at some point lol

I really don't mind myself. His music far makes up for it to me, and I actually kinda think it would be worse without it.

Then again, my favourite artist is Taylor Swift, so I guess that doesn't help when it comes to me & Kanye! :P

'Fake Friends'? Yes! That song really deserved to make the Top 40.

It's funny, Kanye is my favourite artist.

What he did was really bad though, but at least it provided my favourite album of all time.

Piran

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. He actually apologises at some points on there as well.

That's probably one of his better albums! :)

Yeah, it wouldn't matter to me, but I honestly think he's the best candidate over there.
