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.
