Best album from the 2017 ILM EOY album poll that received only ONE top 3 weighted vote

I was the sole voter for the Olamide album - for which Young John, beatmaker and producer extraordinaire, deserves equal billing. Even if you feel it’s not your cup of tea, you owe it to yourself to at least listen to “Saysaymaley”. So good! One of my musical highlights of 2017, purely for the backing vocals alone.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Tony Allen - The Source was mine. I'd always had him down as worthy-but-dull, but this sizzles. Try "Wolf Eats Wolf".

Got to stan for the Alison Moyet album. I hate to go down the best thing since Scary Monsters road, but I think it's her best solo work.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Hadn't realised it was a Young John the Wicked Producer joint - will have to take a closer listen! Had glanced at some Nigerian reviews that were a bit sniffy so didn't investigate further at the time.

Been spending more time with the Ria Hall album - sbahnhof, did you read this interview with Tomorrow People? Sort've wished the interview had teased out things re, say, their popularity vs Ria Hall's rather than putting all NZ reggae / Aotearoa roots / dub / whatevs stuff in the same basket. Still, nice that their latest single is in Samoan and Te Reo.

but more importantly whats the best album from the ilm poll 'Best album from the 2017 ILM EOY album poll that received only ONE top 3 weighted vote' that only received ONE vote?

Blob On A Grid wuz blobbed

And, Yaeji didn't win an ILM poll?! Unbelievable.

(She's the sound of 2018 not 2017)

this interview

will look!

Thanks, other person who voted for Hudson.
