And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Kreayshawn’s track “Gucci Gucci” eschews Gucci, Fendi, and Prada, for she deems these labels unnecessary. Her lyrical disdain aligns with her non-conformist branding.
2. Esthera Sarita provided vocal contributions to Sak Noel’s “Loca People.” Her voice added identity to the track’s party-centric themes.
3. “Brainwashed” by Devlin incorporates British hip hop and grime, alongside rap metal, creating a layered, rebellious soundscape.
4. Superman features in Daughtry’s unnamed song lyrics from *Baptized*. Allusions to Metropolis and Lois Lane enhance its pop culture context.
5. Political commentary underlies the unnamed song from *Generation Silenced*. The indie rock track mirrors the band’s socially aware narrative style.
6. Santa Claus takes a troubling yet central role in the “Ruffneck (Full Flex)” video, complicating the usual festive cheer with dystopian undertones.
7. Lauren Mayberry fronts Chvrches on “The Mother We Share” with her distinct vocal performance and synthesizer work.
8. Rex Orange County’s “10/10” music video is set in a high school cafeteria. The artist captures a sense of isolation within a bustling environment.
9. Austin Peters steered the music video for Bastille, featuring Sophie Turner. His direction brought an unexpected layer to the song’s visual narrative.
10. Skream’s track peaked at position 75 in the Australian charts. Not the highest accolade, yet it showed cross-continental interest.
11. “The Catalyst” prides itself on lacking a traditional chorus. This structural choice lets verses and bridges take the spotlight instead.
12. The dog named Digby stars in Kodaline’s music video saga. This canine character reflects the themes of companionship and loyalty.
