For this year's reviews of the album of the year nominees, I simplified my grading. I grade each song (not any interludes or preludes) out of 10, coming up with a final score out of 100.
"Planet Her (Deluxe)" - Doja Cat
(All Rights To Kemosabe/RCA Records)
1) "Woman"
An empowering ode, this starts off with a nice intro; "And for no reasons, they wanna see us end up like we Regina on Mean Girls..........Princess or queen, tomboy or king". It feels like the message deviates a bit at the start of the track.
2) "Naked"
A sensual sounding track, the bridge is lacking.
3) "Payday" ft/ Young Thug)
The intro is gorgeous.
4) "Get Into It (Yuh)"
While catchy, the track is somewhat annoying.
5) "Need To Know"
There's a nice beat and solid flow. The track knows what it is doing.
6) "I Don't Do Drugs" (ft/ Ariana Grande)
There's sort of a tropic feel, about chasing the feel of desire.
7) "Love To Dream"
She really shows off her vocals.
8) "You Right" (w/ The Weeknd)
"Don't believe in fairy tales, but we got our fantasies".
9) "Been Like This"
This track was a bit forgettable.
10) "Options" (ft/ JID)
JID's bridge is lacking.
11) "Ain't Shit"
This really grooves, with Doja being authoritative.
12) "Imagine"
There's a really solid beat.
13) "Alone"
With a nice guitar intro, this slows things down. A well-placed track for a tempo change.
14) "Kiss Me More" (ft/ SZA)
This is a perfect collaboration. They mesh really well.
15) "You Right - Extended" (w/ The Weeknd)
The added bridge adds to the track.
16) "Up And Down"
A very catchy track.
17) "Tonight" (ft/ Eve)
A funk feel, this is another solid collaboration.
18) "Ride"
This is rather forgettable.
19) "Why Why" (ft/ Gunna)
I wasn't sure what quite to expect from this album, and I found myself pleasantly surprised. There were a number of misses for me, but there was enough to make this album enjoyable. (82)
