- Lying Has To Stop– Soft Hair: I absolutely love the intro of this song (or rather the intro to the intro?) Vocals and lyrics don’t come in until 2:15, the tension and release is insane. I also like the distorted keyboard sound throughout the piece.
- Goodbye Kiss– Kasabian: I enjoy the catchy percussion instrumentation. The change in dynamic before and after the chorus is effective for tension and release.
- Dog Eat– Jack Larsen: My favourite part is the lead vibrato baseline that is just constant throughout. The distorted vocal motifs carry the song as well.
- How Deep is Your Love– Bee Gees: The harmonies in the chorus are awesome, they make the sound more full and bright. The bridge is literally euphoric.
- XS– Rina Sawayama: The production is mesmerizing. The flow is so juxtaposed due to the the light guitar and the intense drum hook that repeats itself.
