The LMH video is not even good enough for softcore **** with dialogues, plot and a mid-teenage core audience

It's been a crazy, fun and wild year for Jessie J and comeback of today's top premier pop diva's is just right around the corner. She is finally back in full throttle burning up with her 7 track EP "Sweet Talker". The personal and insipired EP masterpiece is full with fiery tracks that she haven't been done before yet along with her latest collaborative hit with today's hottest artist Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj. Love that song? I'm sure everyone will love the EP harder  .
The EP comprises of 7 beautifully crafted tracks that people will absolutely love. The songs just scream BANGER and hits! The album is opened by the EP track "Sweet Talker" followed by the infectious hit "Bang Bang." The adrenaline rush continues with the next track "Ain't Been Done" then we slow things down to the funky and mellow song "Seal Me With A Kiss". Proceeded by the heartfelt ballad "Personal" showcasing the emotional and vulnerable side of the cd. Then she decides to amp things up again with the next track "Burning Up" with a guest feature from 2Chainz then closing this perfectly helmed EP with the song "Masterpiece". She stated that she is still working on her masterpiece but can things get any perfect with this EP? |

JASON DERULO - TALK DIRTIER
CREATED BY PREZLI // COVER BY PREZLI  |
TRACK LISTING:
1. Talk Dirty (feat. 2 Chainz)
2. Wiggle (feat. Snoop Dogg)
3. The Other Side
4. With the Lights On
5. Side Fx (feat. The Game)
6. Fire (feat. Pitbull)
7. Zipper |
This EP is easily the hottest EP you have ever heard. My main goal was to select the best songs which fit the title "Talk Dirtier" and to arrange them to flow seamlessly. I chose this title because the songs are about sex and the lyrics are "dirtier" than ever.
Talk Dirty ─ The EP starts off with the title song. A catchy song, a smash hit, probably one of his best songs, one of the most successful songs this year... need more?
Wiggle ─ I like "Wiggle" because it's not a typical song you hear everyday. Its instrumental sounds special. Oh, did I mention Legend Dogg? Shake your booty.
The Other Side ─ Following the bangers, the third track is a low-key song that I'm sure everyone likes.
With the Lights On ─ I like the dubstep beat in "With the Lights On."
Side Fx ─ Side Fx is my favorite song on this EP. His voice is very good in this song. The thing I really love is its hidden sexuality.
Fire ─ Back to the bangers, we have "Fire" as track 5. I'm not a Pitbull fan, but he's great in this song. It makes my body dance.
Zipper ─ I think Zipper is a good close of this EP. The female vocal is extremely amazing in the chorus part. I-I-I-I-I-I wanna ri-i-i-i-i-i-ide.

4. #Beautiful
5. You Don't Know What To Do
6. Make It Look Good
7. You're Mine (Eternal)
8. One More Try
9.The Art of Letting Go
This EP Showcases Mariah's throwback vibe from an upbeat tempo to a transition to slow songs.
This EP isn't filled with most slow songs (like her album) but rather upbeat songs as well to manifest Mariah's vocal ability .
The tracklist gives a story line of her being in lover but the man Is thirsty and there love faded away. Then he calls her beautiful and she is deciding between the faith of there relationship. Then she finally lets go of him and her problems |

4. LE SEX
5. FEELS SO GOOD
6. KISS ME ONCE
7. INTO THE BLUE
This EP focuses on what Ms. Minogue knows best, and what everyone loves best, sex. It starts off with the controversial Sexercize, designed to put you in a hot and sweaty mood right away. Then we get a little kinky with Mr. President.
With Sexy Love and Les Sex, it's all about keeping up the momentum and the drive to do the best of what you can do and doing it right. Then, we get to how it Feels So Good.
Finally, we slow things down with Kiss Me Once and Into the Blue for a euphoric ending. In the end, love is what's important and sex is just the activity that comes along with it that takes you to a higher place. What's the point of it if it only satisfies one particular craving and not fulfill you as a whole?

Ariana Grande MY EVERYTHING
Ariana Grande rose to fame in the music scene with her debut album entitled "Yours Truly" that shows us her R&B side which thrilled us to see what the pop diva has in store for us on her next album.
In this EP, Ariana didn't disappoint as she proved that she truly got what it takes to be a major pop girl that everyone should watch out for. Ariana shows us that she can do awesome ballads, R&B jams, Catchy pop hits and more, that's why this EP is entitled "My Everything". I want my EP to be able to take us to a ride of different emotions with the help of its tracklist that encapsulates Ariana's vocal prowess all throughtout while exploring the depths of falling in and out of love. This EP gives us a vip seat to the evolution of her music. We start off the EP with the infectious hit "Problem" and R&B gem "Be My Baby", it truly bridges the evolution from her debut album and what's to come up next for her music. To be followed by EDM-infused tracks "One Last Time" and "Break Free", it speaks about showing confidence in being yourself and finding love. To further prove Ariana's versatility, "Break Your Heart Right Back" and "Love Me Harder" comes up next that tackles about her vulnerability on love and heartbreak while giving us Ariana's daring and sensual side. The power ballads "Best Mistake" and "My Everything" shows us her growth in the ballad department making it the perfect choices to close the EP. My EP gives Ariana's everything she's got which serves as a good foundation to her next steps that she's going to take on her music career. My Everything EP leaves it's listeners an impression of Ariana's sincere and conscious effort in evolving her musical vocabulary and artistry. |

Back up your choices in however many words you need.
Taylor went full on pop with this album. So, I chose the tracks which I think are the most pop-sounding among all of the songs in the album. We all know that Taylor is known for writing about her exes. That's why I picked Blank Space, not only it was really cool that she was mocking her public image of dating a lot of guys, but I believe the lyrics and beat were perfectly executed. Out of the Woods reminds me a lot of Safe & Sound (her song with The Civil Wars) which I absolutely love. The song has a bit of a dark vibe but not as dark as S&S. Wildest Dreams is something different that I've heard from Taylor, very mature and some people even compared this one to one of Lana's songs. The song has a elegant, graceful feel to it. This song literally takes my breath away whenever I hear it. How You Get The Girl is extremely cheesy and girly but definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. The song is just so fun. I Know Places is one of the songs that I instantly liked when I first heard the album. Maybe, it was the drums in the background. Clean is every refreshing to the ears maybe because it's a song about moving on. It sounds very indie too. One of the most underrated songs in the album, You Are In Love, because a lot of people find it boring. But I think ballads are the real gems of the album (in this case, the EP). Style, definitely one of the fan-favorites and one of the standout tracks in the album, well you just gotta love this song, the mood, the beat, everything. If you don't like it, then something is just wrong with you.  |

TINASHE - Aquarius EP
 Written Tracklist
♒ Cold Sweat
♒ How Many Times (feat. Future)
♒ Feels Like Vegas
♒ Watch Me Work
♒ 2 On (feat. Schoolboy Q)
♒ Far Side Of The Moon
♒ Bet (feat. Devonté Hynes)
♒ Bated Breath
Cover Art Explanation
The Aquarius star sign logo, as Tinashe stylized it in the end of the Aquarius album trailer graces the top and bottom part of the cover, divided in two. The Aquarius sign also replaces the numbers of the songs on the tracklist.
The core of the cover art is a tall, large wave. It was chosen because :
1) Tinashe's smooth sound and vocals correlate to the element of water
2)The order of the tracklist is inspired by the movement of a wave
3) Water has played a big part in the Aquarius era. It's included in the 2 On lyric video, the Pretend video, the Aquarius album trailer and it inspired The Calm interlude
Both the cover and the back which also includes the element of water are black and white. This design represent the album's elegant, old school feel and vibe. The only thing that breaks the B & W design is the blue color. It's used in Tinashe's name in the cover and in the song titles in the back. Blue is often associated with water, because water reflects the color of the sky.
Tinashe's name in the cover is stylized as TinΛshe. The Λ digit is inspired by Aaliyah's self titled album, which is an influence in Tinashe's sound and image. Λ also looks like a part from the aquarius sign logo. Her name is not prominent. It looks like a painter's signature. That's because her work is more important than her brand. It's all about the art
Tracklist explanation
The tracklist resembles the movement of a wave. It goes through the same phases as a wave and there's a cohesive and coherent consecutiveness between the phases, as each track smoothly leads to the next one.
Phase 1 : The beginning
Before the wave starts forming, the sea is peaceful and smooth. That's exactly how I'd describe Cold Sweat. The whispery sensual chorus points to that direction. How Many Times is in the same vein. Future's intense verse and Tinashe's high adlibs are the perfect calm before the perfect storm.
Phase 2 : The rise
The wave starts developping slowly without looking menacing. That's what Feels Like Vegas is about ; a strong midtempo track that works as the "fasten your seatbelts cause she's coming for your lives" moment of the EP. The wave gets bigger and more impressive, increasing in altitude, during Watch Me Work. The track is sassy, pulsating, catchy and faster in pace. It's the natural follow-up to Feels Like Vegas.
Phase 3 : The peak
The wave is now at its high point, slaying and ravaging everything on its way. 2 On, the urban bop of the year, is the perfect song to represent that.
Phase 4 : The gradual fall
Representing how the wave is slowly decreasing in altitude and approaching the shore, Far Side Of The Moon is a smooth transition from 2 On, as it's slower in tempo and more emotional, but its production allows it to linger in the middle of an r & b ballad and a midtempo bop. The next step is Bet. The wave has reached the shore and and we're left with the beautiful sound and the white foam on the sand.
Phase 5 : The quiet
After the storm, comes the quiet. The instrumental outro of Bet works as a perfect prelude to the most sentimental moment of the EP, the heartbreaking Bated Breath.

JHENE AIKO - SOULED OUT: The EP
track 1 - Brave
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1-C3H-gf8g
I think That Brave is a great way to start the EP, because it is one of the best mid tempos (& there are a lot) on the album. Not only that, but it has a great message to it & can be seen as an anthem to some women.
track 2 - Spotless Mind
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6agOgnnJESA
A more peaceful, serene song on the album with a throwback feel. It fits perfectly as a follow up to Brave.
track 3 - Remember
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN_j2N_3LLY
Remember is a cute, "ballady" themed song. It's perfect for a middle track, & would probably appeal to a lot of people & could potentially work as an urban single. The drums & music is wonderful, as well. It has a nostalgic feel. Which correlates with the title.
track 4 - To Love & Die (ft. Cocaine 80s)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQgLo2bSPg8
To Love & Die is one of the better songs & more "uptempo" than most of the songs on the album. It's a nice distraction of the slower, more emotional songs to come before & after it. & it is actually a "feature" & not just Jhene by her lonesome (even though it really is)
track 5 - Limbo Limbo Limbo
www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWkhv2PguDI
Limbo Limbo Limbo is a rock influenced track & it is one of the best songs on Souled out.
It flows well between "To Love & Die" & "Lyin King" another one of the up tempos & the most diverse song on the album.
Track 6 - Lyin King
www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfUX-F9bFWo
Another one of the up-tempos & stand out tracks on the album, it fits just right as one of the songs that ends the album & flows well between "Limbo Limbo Limbo" & "Promises". Another anthem for the heartbroken.
track 7 - Promises
www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvsHZrqWCyk
Promises is one of those songs that just feels "right" to close an album. Obviously
one of the more personal songs on the album, as it has a recording of her (?) as a child, It truly defines the phrase "saving the best for last" it is a perfect closer. Promises features & is about her daughter, Namiko. |

This is what The New Classic should've been, according to me, if it came out as an EP.
I obviously decided to keep the 5 singles on the tracklist. Other than for the sake of them being her most known songs, I also think each one of them represents in the best way every side of Iggy's style, from the most urban to the poppiest sound.
The album tracks I kept are some of her strongest material so I couldn't think of this project existing without them. Another good thing that goes to their side is that they're solo tracks. Being an EP so short, by definition, the non singles tracks have to be able to showcase exclusively Iggy's talent in the little time avalaible and they do it quite well, in my opinion.
I decided to break down the tracklist in the way that the Urban singles and the Pop ones won't be tied all together and the album tracks strategically disposed to separate the singles in the batch, avoiding at the same time an overdose of them and also creating expectation for the next to come. |

Feel free to comment on the entries.
The judges will do their job starting now. Results are scheduled for Sunday night if things go as planned. The latest they will be is Monday night if something goes wrong (fingers crossed). It's going to take longer than the Musical Chairs round because we have to refresh our memories of each album as well as critique.
Thanks.
