Day 287: Stop Draggin' My Heart Around feat. Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers by Stevie Nicks // 3.5

I literally know one song by Stevie Nicks, and it's her most popular one (Edge of Seventeen). I was curious and dipped a toe into the water to find out what else she's done. Frankly, it's not much to look at. One of the songs that I listened to featured Tom Petty, which I do like. I was hoping that some of his style was rub off. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. My main criticism is the pace and timbre of the song. It just feels so flat. The dry, stagnant rhythm and melody really drag it through the mud. I just want it to pick up. Their voices are iconic, but this song does not do them any justice. There isn't any innovation to concurrent pieces; I don't want to listen to it again. It's not the worst thing there is—it's just disappointing.

Rating: 3.5/10

GENRE: electronic I regarded FKA Twigs  as a more experimental electronic, modern artist. Today's song feels quite grounded in conventional techniques. Nothing stands out to me as groundbreaking or pushing the boundaries of the genre. I did not expect someone else to be featured on this album either. Unfortunately it doesn't add up to much on the album. In the best case scenario, it adds to the already plain and monotonous sound. Rating: 4/10

Day 309: White Gloves by Khruangbin // 5

GENRE: indie I can't quite my finger on why I find this three-piece so alluring. They've got a style to them that evokes a carefree sensibility. That much can be seen in their song, White Gloves . Apparently it's part their first album to feature vocals, and it's a welcome addition to the canvas. No one instrument stands out any farther and more unique than the others. Each instrument is featured and mixed pretty evenly, giving me a sense of noiselessness and soothing comfort. However, I think part of that plays against their favor. It plays more like a lo-fi ditty than a fully realized song. At about 3 and a half minutes, I would expect a bit more to be fleshed out. Rating: 5/10
