#RadioToTheDeath Matchup #6
Winner: Back to Black
7-4
———
Back to Black was a jam, front to back. Hadn’t listened to SZA before. Ctrl was a really fun, sexy, unique album.

This really was a great matchup. If I had arranged this bracket by hand instead of by ranking, I probably would’ve tried to make this exact matchup happen, but probably later in the Jazz/R&B/Soul bracket because I’d love to hear more of both.

Sweet Baby James is a great example of exactly why I do this. It is no secret that Country is one of my least favorite genres. Based on that alone, I would likely never have listened to this one. Super chill, had a great time packing up a bit while listening to it.

There was nothing easy about this one. This matchup was steak vs. candy. It is true, one is objectively better and more well-crafted. Sometimes I do just want candy though. I had to lean toward the core metric of "which one do I want to listen to again more?". I still feel very conflicted about this.
