Feel The Night (#706)

Ahoy,

it's a Friday again...

My last week in covers:

Most played artists:

• Jesse Malin : New album context. No, I did not like "Sad And Beautiful World" much.
  
• Tom Speight : New album context. I've found two nice tracks on "Everything's Waiting For You": the title track and "Feel The Night".
  
• The Toten Crackhuren im Kofferraum / The TCHIK : New album context. I was surprised of how good some tracks of "Gefühle" sound.  

Most played tracks:

[nothing to highlight here]

Noteworthy:

• ITZY : New album context. "Crazy In Love" seems more polished than their EPs, but a few more edgy track would have been nice.
  
• Jeremy Zucker : New album context. Tbh I already forgot most about "Crusher".
• The Lathums : New album context. "How Beautiful Life Can Be" should be a recommendation for fans of alternative rock.
  
• Coldplay : New album context. "Music Of The Spheres" comes with a lot of pop sounds. I can't say that it's better or worse than previous releases.
  
• I Was A King : New album context. "Grand Hotel" has its moments.
  
• Mew : Workout context. I can still recommend "Visuals".

█ The 2021 MTV Europe Music Awards have been announced. The show will take place in Budapast on November 14 in Budapast. Leading the nominations is... Justin Bieber (of all people), followed by Doja Cat and Lil Nas X. The new category K-Pop will be introduced this year, and you can bet on BTS winning already.
And don't get me started on the nominees for Best German Act.

this lateness seems unnecessary...

My last week in covers:

Most played artists:

• Sam Fender : New album context. "Seventeen Going Under" has strong songs. I will listen to it again soon. 
  
• bbno$ : New album context. "Eat Ya Veggies" comes with a lot of party tracks. And I don't mind.
  
• Buntspecht : Recommendation context. I was challenged to listen to "Spring bevor du fällst", which sounds okay. But it did not make me a fan. ^^
  
• Sam Tsui : Workout context. "Make It Up" did not really age well. I can sense some Lady Gaga influence of the past. But it's just pop.
