Margo Price, but I think that's about it.

Definitely a lot more if you're really into the scene.

Damn, Kacey has some competition now.

Her and Kacey have been trading blows in the country community (and on BEA sometimes) since they released these albums in the same year (2013):

In fact, come to think of it, their follow-ups were also in the same year (2015):

Damn this is a tough one. In all honesty there is no losers in this bracket. For the former, that track was so good I need to check this record out. Having both orchestra hits and had some jazz rock underpinnings is so good. And this is a country artist? Damn, Kacey has some competition now.

But, my vote goes to Street Livin.

I find it funny that Street Livin felt like a parody of a political track because I felt without the music video, This Is America would be considered a parody of a political track especially since that track decided to have ad libs that undermine that song.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that - it seems like they're just listing a bunch of topics without actually diving into any of them.

The Ashley Monroe song is really great.

I liked the orchestrality (If that’s a word) of the Monroe track as well

Orphan is gorgeous and gets my vote. Street Livin' is technically solid, but lyrically almost feels like a parody of conscious hip-hop.

Whoa...Orphan is beautiful! And that's coming from a guy who abides no country. That BEP is crap. Probably the widest division between the two competitors in the entire tourney.

Yeah with Monroe it's always been about her personal performance and lyrical prowess over the compositions, I liked how the relatively sinewy, very classical country sound did all it could to prop up her voice rather than drown it out... so it's interesting here going for a really ornate, string heavy melancholic dirge of a song, though I don't know if it really suits her no matter how inspired it may be. But it still easily gets the vote here, didn't know Black Eyed Peas made music in 2018 nor did it appear they needed to.

Nope, I got nothing. I have no notable postive nor negative opinion on either of these songs. They just are.
