We Are Only Human Once - Do You Know Her?
Until today, I did not know anything about these performers.
This is natural, and the vocals and sound caused rejection from the first seconds.
Rating platforms bypassed the 2020 album.
This track was not even released as a single. This is a very strange choice.
I had to find a translation of the lyrics to understand the reasons.
As a result, I could not even figure out the name of the group.
The title and lyrics of the song are also inconsistent.
However, intuitively, I came into contact with another sense of guilt and hopelessness.

Wolf Alice – Smile
For me, the reputation of this band before the 2021 album was below average.
Before the release of this release, three singles were released, including Smile.
All these songs did not arouse interest, the videos seemed just as weak.
However, after getting acquainted with the album, my opinion gradually began to change.
The 2021 album ended up being one of the best for me in the first half of the year.
Smile - frankly falls out of the overall sound in the best traditions of Cocteau Twins.
Under the album cover, this dissonance is not so noticeable.
But as a hallmark of the entire release, it's just a marketing failure.
The only way I can support this choice is a video of a live performance on BBC Radio 1.
Against the background of unconvincing official videos, this performance stands out for the better.

I choose Wolf Alice 2021 rather than Smile as a standalone track.

Thanks for intoducing me to We Are Only Human Once. Sounds like something right up my alley. However I loved the Wolf Alice album, and Smile rocks, and is one of my faves from Blue Weekend.

Another tough choice, neither is close to what I consider my jam, I'll go with Do You Know Her?
