Sog-Gee's Realm (Water)
Tap de Papapaya (Long Version)
Birdo II
Sog-Gee is my favorite song of an OST I already like very much. I quite vibe with the signature style of modern David Wise. This synth bit at the end is so cool as well. This feels like a little extract from Tropical Freeze. So good. Future funk??!! Well that's a way to complicate things. I love how the initial vocals are just like Rats' Birthday, before it transitions into Copacabana. Hmm.. can I resist voting Snake for this? Uhhh... I can't. But it's some fierce temptation.
This version is kinda weird. I can't say I like the crunch of this. The song does get a lot better as it approaches the loop point though, last part going into awesome territory. I think I'm conflicted. No.... no way... Microsoft Sam hitting the conga line. Yeah, the TTS is a weird choice for the vocals but damn the instrumental is so fun. It just get better as it goes! This is a jam, it makes me happy.
This is a tougher match that I expected. Rubia touches a little on my heart, the vocalist is really passionate and, albeit late, the instrumental hits very nicely and strongly, it's just a lovely job. I had a high expectative for a song called Birdo II; and wow, it doesn't dissapoint. The initial notes, the slowdown bit, the fast flowing piano and powerful guitar, the fusion spirit. I mean, it's kind of a show-off song considering the video, but it earns it. I am voting Birdo, but with apologies to one of the best vocal songs so far.
