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.
