55. "One Last Time"



Average: 7.104
High: 10 (2x) - Pelvic Thrust, dancepopCC
Low: 4 (2x) - lovesong, madonnas

Synopsis
"One Last Time" is the lead single from Agnes' upcoming fourth studio album, Veritas. A regretful Agnes sings over glossy synths that provide an 80s throw-back. The song made it to number 33 in Sweden. This is Agnes’ eighth song to be banished, leaving her with three left.

Standout Line
"And you can blame it on my crazy heart / I got lost, you got torn apart"

[madonnas]

Good riddance.

Yeah. I kind of love it. The marching drums mixed with the nostalgic piano really stand out. I've always thought Miike Snow makes the perfect crossover indie-pop.

I don't get the nostalgia. For me, it sounds fairly modern. But bland.

I only song from them I truly loved was Black & Blue.

Ummm I gave this a 7... so I think this is fine. For some reason I was expecting more out of the song based on the title, but I think that's just because I'm obsessed with things water-based.

Yes, I love water/ocean inspired things. Like The Antler's Undersea EP, to name a recent example.

But The Wave talks about corruption.

[Ewan Chaos]

Well I think this was one of her better songs but I overrated it for sure. I seriously was in a generous/whatever mood when I was rating her stuff.

This is not worse than "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," but hey! this is Agnes.

[Forevermore]

Don't Go Breaking My Heart
Release Me
On and On

Are the only Agnes songs left I think.

It is one of her best! I wish I gave it higher than a 7.5, I really did enjoy listening to it again.

Agreed. I love the synths in this one!

It's not as easy to get into though on the first listen.

[Ewan Chaos]

Wait LOL why was this out before Don't Go Breaking My Heart? I didn't even realize that wasn't out yet... yeah looking back on my scores I gave it an 8. It was definitely her 2nd best song.

Correct!

The next one to go is so dry and boring, it should have been out earlier.

54. "Billie Holiday"

High: 10 (1x) - lovesong
Low: 1 (1x) - jqnetto

Synopsis
Miike Snow released "Billie Holiday" as a bonus track from their debut album, Miike Snow. The song features smooth vocals, unwavering choruses, a mid-tempo beat, and deep lyrics. This is their second song to be eliminated from the rate, leaving them with six remaining.

Standout Line
"Here, and you fake your disguise / and see the stone glass in your eyes, but don't say I never tried"

I know it's a ballad and that Agnes generally fares better in dance/pop but she did a better job with this one than with the forgotten single.

[Ewan Chaos]

Meh a 7 so this is fine.

I like the forgotten single more tbh.

[ManDown]

I'm fine with the eliminations thus far.

Are you talking about "Don't Go Breaking My Heart"?

And do you guys like this two updates per page system going on?

[Eric.]

"Billie Holiday" is definitely not a favorite, but I love the chorus.

Yeah two updates per page works well.

Synopsis
Serving as a promo single for the release of the Body Talk Pt. I compilation, "Fembot" peaked at number three in Sweden. The lyrics describe Robyn trying to find a balance between humans and robots, claiming "fembots have feeling too". Robyn stated the song also has a personal side, depicting her entering her thirties and pondering the thought of having children.

Standout Line
"My system's in mint condition, the power's up on my transistors / working fine, no glitches"
