this was an ok miguel track but didn't really strike me as anything special
― ufo, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:21 (six years ago) link
I voted for it (but I'm not one of the number ones). It's grebt.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:22 (six years ago) link
my no. 1

It's basically half the tracks from the first Miguel album mashed into one new song.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:23 (six years ago) link
I loved Lost In Your Light so much when I first heard it that both artists' subsequent albums felt like a letdown, then promptly forgot to vote for it.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:23 (six years ago) link
Destroyer live last year made me appreciate the album a lot more. Love the track.

I was the other number one vote for Lost In Your Light. There were a lot of really great song and video combinations in 2017, but this one was the most perfect. As Brad said on the Dua Lipa thread, "it totally embodies what it's like to listen to the song". Their voices blend together so beautifully. My favourite song of the year by quite a long way. It should have been as big as New Rules (which I'm sure is coming later).

destroyer video should be a zine imo

At the risk of sounding like a scold, y'all know embedding youtubes in these threads is a no-no.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:39 (six years ago) link
Voted for the other one and the album but this is great. Big take from the run down so far is I need to start watching music videos again

record collection rock
I suspect if I'd heard Glutes out I'd feel differently about it. The way I feel about Vertigo after hearing Michael Mayer drop it at a festival a few years ago. Nothing else by Patrice Baumel has ever stuck with me like that, his tracks are custom made to precision to blow the roof off

wasn't Childish Gambino a punchline a few years ago?
― #TeamHailing (imago), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:46 (six years ago) link
he is so much better at everything else than he is at music
― hoooyaaargh it's me satan (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:46 (six years ago) link
xp it helps that he stopped rapping
I'm definitely a champion of any contempo r&b that pulls inspiration from Sly Stone.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:46 (six years ago) link
wasn't this 2016, i know year of impact but im surprised that itd be that way for enough people to make it now if it didn't last year
― ufo, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:47 (six years ago) link
that's good for you johnny feves
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:47 (six years ago) link
I kinda like this (was it really not nominated last year?).
― nashwan, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:48 (six years ago) link
I got a couple votes in last year's poll (didn't place), but it charted in August 2017. xps
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:48 (six years ago) link
connan mockasin "caramel" is a better tune and i don't really care about childish gambino but this is still a pretty good tune imo!
― marcos, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:48 (six years ago) link
also just remembered the scene in Atlanta where that GC record cover is in shot (on the rich white ally dude's shelf) ha

Redbone got a lot of spins this year in Cincinnaaaatiiii :P

also it was pretty good as used in "get out"
― marcos, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:49 (six years ago) link
the thing is, "I'd Rather Be With You" and Isaac Hayes' "The Look of Love" (or even Jay-Z's "Can I Live") haven't been scrubbed from existence, so i can just listen to those songs instead of Glover's middling imitation

;_;
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:51 (six years ago) link
plus, those songs have singers that can actually sing
― hoooyaaargh it's me satan (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:51 (six years ago) link
(btw, this fell in the unranked portion of my ballot, so my stanning here isn't really back up with force)
I will say that this is the first time a Gambino album was front to back corny af
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:53 (six years ago) link
*wasn't
voodoo chili that doesn't seem like enough songs to have in that vein and you should find some more songs like this if you like this kind of song
― nashwan, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:53 (six years ago) link
I like Redbone & support its placement on this poll
― (the blues version in his Broadway show) (crüt), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:56 (six years ago) link
I thought that role went to Bruno Mars.
― MarkoP, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:56 (six years ago) link
Also Redbone placed at 495 last year.

there's a lot more, but those are the songs Glover borrowed from most liberally for redbone

glue and aura both rule

love aura, but i couldn't quite make room for bicep in my tracks or album ballot :(
― hoooyaaargh it's me satan (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 18:10 (six years ago) link
not really down with this kind of comfort techno
― faust apes (NickB), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 18:13 (six years ago) link
was disappointed with the Bicep album when it first came out, but it really grew on me over time and I ended up voting for both Aura and Glue

nothing will beat 'Just' for me
― Badgers (dog latin), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 18:21 (six years ago) link
Aura steps right to the edge of hands in the air corny in a way that's kind of perfect. left it off my track list and kept the album, but man is it great.
and yeah, Just is perfect.
