yeah matt otm. i get that it's trying to have the vocals be like the processed (are they processed? i can't tell) vocals in a drop, and they're not quite the focus there, but it doesn't work for me

there's been a kind of sameyness to the poll this year imo (obvs this only bothers me because it's not my kind of sameyness; if 5 dancehall tracks had placed I'd be psyched), but it is p cool that all three "afro"pop songs are from three different countries and in different languages

'Akanamali' didn't strike me at first but by the end I was completely on board. Very good choice, ILM.

The Singles Jukebox loved it too. It keeps threaten to turn into a 2006-era Ne-Yo single.

great song, the only one of hers I've cared for (that I've heard)

good song i should have voted for

lotta great delivery in this song. "ooooooooh / you're taking up a fraction of my mind," ".... AND OH BABY LET'S MAKE / reality / actuality," etc.
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:44 (six years ago) link
the second half of that song is probably my favorite kendrick moment of all time. the aggressive/aggressively repetitive sample always reminds me a bit of chicago footwerk stylez

xps to kendrick obvs

OH BABY LET'S MAKE
Key moment in song's greatness imo
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:45 (six years ago) link
love you like a love song 4ever
― nxd, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:45 (six years ago) link
many thanks to whoever from TSJ was following the south african charts to find akanamali
Bad Liar is great and just missed my ballot, weirdly the Psycho Killer bass line doesn't really have anything to do with what makes it work so well, it's just there

this did little for me and i've liked previous SG singles *shrug*
― #TeamHailing (imago), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:53 (six years ago) link
it's closest to Hands to Myself out of her previous singles, which is a good thing

I should've voted.

This song seemed like minor CRJ to me at first, but my love for it has grown all year long.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:02 (six years ago) link
didn't realize ppl liked this one so much, don't think it'd make my crj POX
― ciderpress, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:02 (six years ago) link
it's impressive on its own that a c-side nearly won out
anyway, great song that weirdly didn't his immediately for me
― Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:02 (six years ago) link
*hit
It's no "Cry."
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:03 (six years ago) link
i figured this was going to win by default at this point, great but probably middle of the pack as far as Emotion-era songs go?

nor mine. it's a good middle between kiss and emotion but also sounds very much like something that didn't make one of her own records lol
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:04 (six years ago) link
wow saer is in the top 2!!!

lmao i still have no idea exactly what the top two is
this feels completely and utterly boilerplate

I'm fairly confident? but maybe I'm wrong to be? xp

yeah i'm still uncertain which song got 78'd

i couldn't name either remaining song if you put a gun to my head

Great to see Akanamali place so high. Didn't vote for it as I only came across it in the noms thread and didn't really allow time for it to sink in, but it's great that such an outlier can place so high

Part of me kind of hopes that Boys is not in the top two, because 2017 is a year that proved that boys are fucking horrible and don't deserve to be sung about.
