Is Paris Strother doing anything besides being Coldplay's keyboardist atm?

I mean, if you want your Strother fix, the Coldplay track Coloratura from last year is somehow one of the better places to find it
― imago, Thursday, 18 August 2022 13:02 (one year ago) link
What!? Paris Strother ended up on Coldplay!?
I abhor them and haven’t listened to them in ages but now you have piqued my interest.

Just that one song, I gather - but yes, she did, lol
― imago, Thursday, 18 August 2022 13:06 (one year ago) link
As in, she's on the whole album, but that song (the only one I've heard) is the clear highlight
I mean I’m happy for her and hope they paid her well and it opens more doors for her. Not sure if I want to listen to her in a Coldplay context as I’m afraid I might even like it.

Just now getting to this thread because I was busy this week. Oranssi Pazuzu track was my number 3, so I'm glad that my vote was enough to push it into the top 100.
Other than that I gave a couple of points to 100 gecs, because that track is amazing. Voted for Destroyer and Weyes Blood, but not these tracks.

she has a writing credit on that one, plus there’s another song with amber strother where king are billed as featured artists alongside jacob collier. the rest can safely be ignored

Would be interesting and start arranging it later to compile the top 10 per year according to this decade poll and compare it to the actual top 10 on that year’s poll.
See if we have become wiser or worse.

One of my discoveries too.

Pachanga Boys actually ranked high on 2012’s poll (#12).

He's in love with his voice without being a narcissist, which is some trick.

Peggy Gou was our most surprising winner to me. I just didn't see it coming at all. It did end up growing on me a lot. I like I Go even more.
I was traveling so I missed a lot of the rollout yesterday. I see why people were commenting about the list being a bit one note, but I also liked almost everything last placed in the last couple of days. I think something like 12 of my tracks have made it so far. I'm obviously part of the problem.
Voted for Hatchie yesterday. I thought Sure would be the one to make it and considered choosing that. The bit where Stay With Me really kicks off is one of my favourite moments in music.
Also went for Don't Start Now. Dua Lipa is one of the few artists that had two songs on my list. I'm surprised it beat New Rules.
Video Games was my number one at the time, but ended up going with Ride even though I doubt any others will have voted for it.
I kind of wish I'd voted for Rihanna. Kiss It Better was one of my last cuts. Work is great too. Even the terrible Drake rap which my wife and I quote a lot. I once wrote, "If you had a twin, I'd still choose you" in an anniversary card. She's still with me despite this.
Tightrope and that Letterman performance blew me away at the time. Q.U.E.E.N got my vote though.
School Of Seven Bells popping up was a nice surprise. Big thanks to Johnny Fever for getting me into that one/them all those years ago. I think Open Your Eyes was on my list. I definitely voted for that last album.
Voted for Cool For The Summer. It's one of my favourite Girls Aloud songs.

Too low on Adorn. I thought this might challenge for the top ten. I had Do You higher on my list.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 18 August 2022 13:41 (one year ago) link
Do you like Adorn? Yeah?
Me too.

I can't think of many albums I was more excited about hearing for the first time than Love King and "Yamaha" blew my head off - and it continues to do it to this day.

Really like how this song starts as if it had already been going on for a while, accumulating energy.

wow truly surprised @ yamaha placing. im here for it but yeah there are dozens of better 2010 dream songs imo

Yeah this is my favorite KL song, I never get bored off it. Jay Rock shines more than him on this one though
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 18 August 2022 14:23 (one year ago) link
Love King definitely felt like a step down from his first two albums, but Yamaha is one of his best songs.
I seem to remember despite Kendrick coming second in our 2012 albums poll, there wasn't much of him in our tracks list. Maybe just Cartoon & Cereal which wasn't on the album.
