And I do like "Tchelete" fwiw! Just more for its hooks than its beat.

Yay!

more surprises!

I have never heard of this artist or song.

Likewise.

There was a week last month in which "Vermillion" was constantly in my head.

Singles Jukebox's top-rated song of 2014, iirc

only heard bc of the singles jukebox

not really a fan

great tune

Never heard of this either.

This is basically the tasteful version of "Habits"?

This is ok

ty gear, will check out that thread more from now on :)

like "slow dancing" imo it's texture and mood in search of a hook

I've never diverged so strongly from my Singles Jukebox colleagues.

2015 payphone is a cinematic symbol for desperation

this song is really great

i mean "solo dancing" lol

Fantastic song. For some reason I missed it on the nominations thread otherwise it would have been in my top 10.

oh i knew this was the singles jukebox's top 2014 track but i didn't really get why and most of the rest of its internet presence seems to be a remix

seems like a wispier and less resonant "solo dancing"

I have never heard of this artist or song.

Welcome to my entire thread experience. Well, about 70% of it.

This track is great, was waiting for it.

This sounds like a walking around an empty downtown on a Sunday night kind of song.

wtf all these comparisons are awful

i's all about that moment when the beat drops out and it's just her voice and the piano going "I love these streets, I love these streets, but they weren’t meant for me to walk…”. gorgeous song imo.

This sounds like an intro in search of a song. I kept waiting for the song to actually start.

Heh, they're side-by-side on my Best of 2014 mix, and I don't entirely disagree with that assessment, but texture and mood count for a lot in my book.

so my Panda Bear dreams are dead for the singles i guess

the build on this track is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "habits" or whatever

I hadn't heard anyone outside of TSJ mention this song. Are there a lot of writers from there on ilm?

I like alright it but it doesn't sound like top 10 material for me, let alone best track of the year. This sort of sound was everywhere in 2014 and I can easily think of 3 tracks I like much better than this one.

ooh that means one of the 9 remaining "dead certs" as outlined by matt dc has missed the 77, hope it's "seasons"!

For some reason it reminds me of JoJo - Marvin's Room Remix, but obviously not quite as powerful!

*starts chilling the champagne*

there's a carefully constructed & well paced rush in "vermillion" imo that just strikes me as great songcraft

The video is baffling though, who's the scummy dude at the end? Why does steal his car?

the version on spotify has more pronounced guitar at the end iirc

erk, first meridian dan, now this. ghastly.

i would say the chances of 'seasons' missing the top ten are nil

I should also say that I didn't love "Vermillion" right away -- it took a few listens to get under my skin.

did you all even get through the first verse of the song before writing some of these comparisons i mean

wow. I love this...Roz right on about the 'I love these streets' part.

I'm listening to the 2013 playlist right now and idk it just feels like it was a better year

this is a very urban track too, i think katherine made that point ... makes it resonate for me

i will also say that it took me several months of not caring about this song before i continually started searching it again on spotify and finally giving in

also the video is not very good, i think listening w/o the video actually helped me appreciate the song more lol

its her estranged boyfriend she calls him and is all im inside the store come get me so she can steal the car whiles hes in there, she steals it because she need to get out of there man, tho tbh he seems more of a wait in the car for her to come out type to me

really excited for "na na" #1
