Reviews
Thank you to this months reviewers, @ParksQueen301 @kingdom @taemoon !

I reviewed her two singles and an extra.

Motif - I don't like how the music overpowers her voice. I'll bet it's beautiful, but I just can't hear her! 5/10

Throat - this one's not much better than the last. It's just so frustrating when you can't hear the singer! 6/10

Faded - same as the other two, too much insturmental, not enough vocals! 5/10

Sorry, but this album isn't my cup of tea. I'm sure I'd love her if she just toned down on the instrumentals so we could actually HEAR her. 5/10 overall

First of all, I’d like to mention that I have listened to a couple of her songs before, particularly the ones that were released from years ago — Rawww, MIMI, & my are my main fav ones from hers so far. I’ve been wanting to check out more of her songs including her recent releases so I was happy to find out that she was chosen for this month’s have you met! ☺

My song reviews from her latest songs:

1. (I sing, I’ve no shape, I’m incomplete, and I fly) — The rock elements in this is pretty nice with a mix of chill-RnB in it and it flows pretty well with the song. However, this song is a hit or miss for me - both the pre-chorus and the chorus seem to have something that’s missing imo. Other than that, the rest of the song is alright. 6/10

2. 101 (Home Home) — another song with some rock elements to it which I appreciate. It mixes well with the chill/mellow RnB sound and it’s overall a nice, relaxing song to listen to. If I could describe the emotion of this song, I’d say it has a more of a dark and gloomy feeling to it and the type you can listen to during a rainy day whilst the sky is grey. 8/10

3. Worm in the Apple — this sounds more like an intro song based on how it sounds overall. The beat in the background that’s played from the start till the end of the song is pretty cool, I love it!🔥. The vibe of this song kinda gives off a hypnotic/trance-like feeling I would say. The song only lasts for more than 2 minutes so I wish they would’ve made it longer lol. 9/10

1. Rawww - It's a little too quiet-ish for me, it's not a song I would listen to a lot, but her voice with the beat sounds really pleasant and sweet. 6/10
2. Laundry - It's about the same as Raww, but I like her voice a lot better in this song, so I'd give it an 7/10.
3. My hair is green - Here, she sounds like another female idol, and she sounds sooooo good hereee!!!!! This one if definitely my favorite out of these 3. 9/10!!
