Alright, here's one set of impressions. I'm trying to balance being too vague and being too specific. I figure I'll do these in batches of six. Note that there's just one impression for each submission. Sometimes this will focus on a specific song, sometimes on the submission as a whole.
Also, I haven't kept up with what best practices are for impressions: Do people like it when the host confirms guesses as correct or incorrect, or is it better to leave it a mystery?
First six below.
They clearly have their own distinct sound, but not sure I like the vocals enough for them to stand out within this genre.
Songs of this particular type can struggle to be memorable to me, but these songs caught my interest right off the bat.
This is definitely the best foot forward of a band that I’ve had mixed feelings about. Not sure it'll be enough.
This has the sound I sort of expect to hear submitted by this person, but with a proggy slant I quite like.
I like this singer a lot. Her performance hits all the right emotional beats.
Much more sedate and melody-focused than I remembered this artist being, which is tentatively a good thing.
