A year later I still don't like this song, but Sheeran can write a hook.

The Francis Bebey sample on this is so clunkily used and a really shabby way to treat a wonderful record. I mean, I basically like the Arcade Fire but they're well into their pointless mid-career drift by now.

The Arcade Fire one was pretty credible in fairness, lamer records than that have done well here.

tbf "Everything Now" is the only Arcade Fire song I've ever liked

Hahahahaha. I totally believed Arcade Fire, tbh, as other people have said, ilx has voted for worse. The 1975 didn't have anything out this year, did they?
― emil.y, Thursday, 25 January 2018 13:35 (six years ago) link
the two basically-opposite "Undercover"s being only 12 pts apart is quite nice
― Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 13:35 (six years ago) link
if Arcade Fire had shown up at 50 or something I wouldn't have been surprised at all
couldn't really pick a highlight from the Kehlani album but Undercover is great
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 13:38 (six years ago) link
just noticed that bob marley gets a writing credit on undercover - anyone know which bit is his?

― rob, Thursday, 25 January 2018 13:41 (six years ago) link
courtesy of The Fader:
On “Undercover” — probably the most fun song on the album — Kehlani pulls from Akon’s 2006 megahit “Don’t Matter,” which itself takes a part of its crucial melody from Bob Marley’s 1979 song “Zimbabwe.” (Marley and Akon both received songwriter credits on the track.)
― Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 13:41 (six years ago) link
ah ok, don't think i know 'zimbabwe' tbh
― faust apes (NickB), Thursday, 25 January 2018 13:43 (six years ago) link
I don't think the bit of Zimbabwe that was in Don't Matter ended up in Undercover but that's how writing credits work
