SWC062 It's a big relief that it's enough to pick the 5 top ones. But as it's not any problem for me to comment each submission - for I already analyzed them all anyway - I add my comments for everyone here. Arelem, Addicted I surely can hear the influence of Lil Peep. Good choice for your style. So...

Congrats to @KukoBass and @nanocats. Wow! I did not expect the song to appeal so much to so many people, especially because it was a very personal work for me, Someone somewhere has said something like this: "the more personal the music, the wider the audience". If music is very personal i...
