The Single Notez :  

Nice intro with the recurrent, warm harmonized vocals

Overall, “Roommates” features respectable production, in line with modern pop

Dixie D’Amelio delivers a respectable performance – certainly sounds the role of a pop artist

Reemphasizes the theme of song consistently – “roommates” is repeated numerous times throughout

Lyrically, the song has its moments, particularly the chorus.

The production may match the ‘it’ pop sound of the 2020s, but it’s not groundbreaking

While D’Amelio sings fine, she’s not particularly rousing or chocked-full of personality; I’d like to hear more oomph

Songwriting works, but don’t call it the second coming; should appeal most to the D’Amelio base.

Memorable lyric:

“‘Cause I’ve got plenty of roommates, even when I’m alone
I’ve never known any silence, they turn my head into home
And they keep me awake with a vacancy sign.”

In Closing: Dixie D’Amelio continues to build her music career with her third pop single, “Roommates.” There’s potential, but also plenty of room for growth.
