Ok, so I hope my partner won't blame me for posting that cause I was under pressure :D
HERE WE GOOO, FIRST REVIEW (I'm so courageous ahah)
Track 1 > Awesome, I’d totally listen to that all day long. Those girls voices in the background could totally fit in a 1960’s movie. Couldn’t start the mixtape in a better way as it makes it quite mysterious.
Track 2 > I.L.O.V.E.I.T, a friend of mine is a PG fan and I’m pretty sure that’s him, although it sounds older than the kind of stuff she made me listen to so I’d say it’s from Genesis. Well… or maybe it’s too ‘‘popy’’ to be Genesis?
Anyway if I’m told this ain’t PG, I will… I will… well I don’t know what I’ll do but I’d be really surprised!
Track 3 > That one is awesome, I love the music and the voice. I thought it’d be R.E.M at the very beginning but it’s def not. ‘‘I’m going to make this, my ownnn’’. Good good one
Track 4 > Good track. Enjoying it a lot, light, but not bright. I’m going to like this mixtape.
Track 5 > HO HO. DADDY’S GONE. That’s the song name I recognized. I love Glasvegas. Lemme sing a bit: I won’t be the lonely one sitting on my own and sad, forget your dad he’s gone, forget your DA’. HE’S. GONE. HE’S GONE. HE’S GONE. HE’S GOoooOOoNE. HO hoooo HO HO. HE’S GONE, HE’S GONE, HE’S GoooooOoone.
Track 6 > sounds great, a bit like a light BobDylan-ish song ahah. I’m pretty sure I know the voice, can’t tell who that is though…
Track 7 > What the hell is that? Is there an hidden message?
It’s quite surprising after such a good beginning. I can’t deny I don’t like that one, is that Rihanna? (I think I’d actually prefer Rihanna to that ahaha, no offense).
The truth is, I liked the 30 first seconds.
Track 8 > Got scared after the previous track (I didn’t want the whole tape to sound like the Track 7 ahah) but I actually found this one very interesting and good in its way. Can’t really tell where it comes from, is that a soundtrack? I’ll def keep this one. Glad to discover how music sounds like on the moon!
(if others are wondering: it’s an instrumental song which sounds quite experimental but soft… and cute)
Track 9 > Back on the planet Hearth. Was wondering what it was but then I noticed the artwork. Had never listened to them before (although I heard they were great as an opening band for Coldplay), I’m finding them a slightly bit boring but they’re ok. I think Tom Smith’s voice on this track would make it brilliant…
(I adore the end of the track)
Track 10 > How peaceful. Once again I’m pretty sure I heard that voice before, although it’s not really the kind of things I’d listen to so I guess I heard my dad (who’s not gone) listening to it :D I’m clapping too.
Track 11 > What a ‘‘bewitching’’ voice. It’s getting moving.
So far that mixtape might have been a bit too calm for me but this is actually quite pleasant.
Partner, are you a guy or a girl XD?... Let’s say a guy…
Track 12 > Yeah seems we’ll wake up a bit. Like it. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Franz Ferdinand got inspired by such a song ahah. I like that chorus!
Seems like there’s lots of old songs, I’m not used to oldies so it’s quite good for my culture. Thank you so much for that, I feel like I’m learning.
Track 13 > What a BEAUTIFUL intro on the piano. I’m not really into that girl’s voice though, pity cause the music and the lyrics are great.
Track 14 > I like the fact there’s always a slightly punchy song following a slow one, it flows well. I’m not really liking that one, sounds a bit too much like… a musical or something to me (and as a Frenchy, I’m not really into musicals ahah)
Track 15 > Yeahh, I so started to think there were soundtracks in there, now I’m 99% sure about it. I love soundtracks, and if that’s one, it’is great. Is that a Tim Burton movie?
Track 16 > Not liking that one, I love female singers but I don’t like this one’s voice. The track is getting stressing after 2:20, not into that strange rhythm ahah.
Track 17 > And back to peaceful tracks, yeah! Still sounds a bit old and thus unfamiliar to me but I’m happy to discover new stuff. Don’t think I could listen to those kind of things a lot though, but once a while, it’s quite cool.
Track 18 > BRILLIANT. I guess that’s a soundtrack again? Very moving, beautiful.
Track 19 > I’m loving the music a fucking lot and although I dislike those kind of voices, I could totally get addicted to such a track. I guess I’m ‘‘so easy to please’’ :D
Can’t wait until the end of the mixtape to listen to it again actually…
Track 20 > I like the kind of tension we can feel in that song, it’s a great ending to such a mixtape.
To conclude, I’d say this made me feel a bit like I didn’t know much about music, I kinda mainly listen to bands from the 90’s so it was great to increase my knowledge.
It sounded like a mix between the kind of stuff I listen to and the kind of stuff my dad listens to.
All the songs flow well together except from the very unexpected track 7 which made me laugh. I’d say my fav tracks are the first ones (until Track 6). It might have been a bit too slow for me afterward but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Glad to hear songs which sound like soundtracks as well!
By the way, unknown partner, I can’t thank you enough for what I’ll call the ‘‘Peter Gabriel track’’, I’m totally addicted to that one and can’t stop listening to it.
Can’t wait to know the tracklist, I’ll def listen to the mixtape again!
Thanks Bryce, thanks awesome partner :)
