Old Flame, Jonny Craig

fionmul: 🤘🏼

• Joseph Harvey +1 — Jonny Craig is a phenomenal singer but I think he has much stronger material. Claire will like this well enough but I can’t see it being a massive hit. Still, as I don’t enjoy most of the picks this round, it gets a vote.
• Edward James 0 — Attempted bilmuri stand in. A valiant effort, but no
• SamRobertsND 0 — It's possible that Claire submitted this song, although I'm 30-70 on that. I hope not, because it sucks. Monotonous and forgettable; I hope Claire has better taste.
• fionmul 0 — I understand the lookalike temptation now since I was looking at Camino/bilmuri vibes but I genuinely liked this and think Claire might too. Love? Remains to be seen. The vocals are really pretty to me.
• Claire 0 — Another good submission honoring this area of my taste by Joseph (or someone advised by Joseph). This song didn’t quite hit for me and it’s kind of hard to articulate exactly why. I really enjoy the vocals—I love a good run in songs of this genre. I think maybe the chorus just was musically/lyrically not quite at the level of energy I was hoping it would be? I certainly like it and there’s not really anything I actually dislike about it—on paper it’s a great pick—but for whatever reason it just didn’t have the sauce to make my top 3
