This song is pretty exotic to the western people; however the chord progression is beautiful with many tension chords. One more thing to mention about this song is almost every part has a multiple vocal chorus tracks, so there is no empty spot in this song. Very well structured chord progression and the unique vocal is impressive.
BADBADNOTGOOD – Time Moves Slow (feat. Sam Herring)
Alexander Sowinski is so deep in the pocket, you could fit a kick drum in there. The instrumentals openness gives room for Sam Herring’s superb vocals to shine through. I enjoy the outro (3:49) where everything builds up creating anticipation for a final huzzah.
Denise Lasalle – Trapped by a Thing Called Love
I really like the way the song goes from a kind of call and answer concept with the bass and the trumpets specifically in 0:30 and around 1:24 and then brings them together to flow so coherently. Also the bass and the guitar with the drums carry such a steady melody that reminds me of a train and the trumpets are just the cherry on top that brings this beautiful song together.
Phaeleh – Afterglow feat Soundmouse
There are layered vocals in the track with only the single vocalist. It is a one-person harmony, giving a sort of heavenly feel to the song.

I like the chords of this song and how they are placed for maximum effect. I also like how the use of atmospheric sound is used to create tension.
Keep Warm by The Drives
I like how there are many different synths used, and how the background melody line occasionally plays in the foreground.
Sagun –
I really like the different instrumentation the song had. The drums hit onbeat and it really showed the release when all the instruments played together and started slowing down. Especially at the end !
Astrid S – It’s Ok If You Forget Me
I really like the electric guitar throughout the song. It also created a sudden tension when the bass came in. I liked the choice of lyrics she used in this song as well!
Kodaline – Head Held High
This is a very upbeat song in which has some dynamics. It dramatically fades at the ending. There’s also some repetition throughout the song. The instrumentation in the background really brought the song to life!
Keshi- 2 soon
This song overall has a lot of repetition. The beginning starts out with piano and guitar, and drums fall in when the lyrics come in. The drums disappears pretty soon, and that continues throughout of the song. I like the steadiness throughout the song 🙂
