I like Boo’d Up. It’s weird though. She’s had a fair amount of similarish sounding cuts that generated little buzz. Like somebody at the label suddenly went, ok that’s enough bubble, next mustard track with some bounce and a hard snare will be the hit, you can now come out as British and not Floetry notsureiftheyrefakingit British.

Listening to "OTW" for the first time as the result of this thread, and, gosh, that is a sumptuous 4 minutes of music. The beat is, like, holographic, the way that old Jam & Lewis productions used to sound compared to their contemporaries. Like you know how they had an improbably long career where they just kept successfully updating their sound to the times for several decades? This is what I imagine they'd be up to if that streak were still going.A travesty that this never made it to top40 radio, especially when Khalid is such a hot property right now (apparently) off the back of comparatively beige material like "Eastside" and "Love Lies". Maybe the guests/producers on those were just higher priorities for the labels to get over than 6lack and Nineteen85, idk

it is truly an incredible production
i heard it on the radio for the 3rd time, like, ever this past week -- sounded incredible there and still a bit astonished it never completely took off. i guess his team was more focused on pushing the song with normani or something.

boo'd up was actually cut by several difft artists but never released before ella mai picked it up--some people apparently seemed confident it was a hit. it does sound strangely out of time though, like something that could have been equally huge eight years ago

since it doesn't appear to have been discussed anywhere else i am going to say very belatedly that the entire diana gordon ep is pretty strong!

Yeah, big shout out to Kool Aid.

whats the 2019 version of this poll?

talk • con altura • the london ?
― dyl, Sunday, 30 June 2019 15:16 (four years ago) link
maybe sub "go loko" in for one of those idk
― dyl, Sunday, 30 June 2019 15:26 (four years ago) link
I don’t like go loko or the London really ...
Go loko I’m pretty sure ripped off ambjaay’s uno and he’s a better rapper

Swap “Aute Culture” for “Con Altura”! Much much much better track.

there's no big r&b jam of this summer so far, is there? at least on the level of boo'd up.

"talk" was the closest i could come up with but it definitely tries to straddle styles a little w/ that production
― dyl, Sunday, 30 June 2019 15:59 (four years ago) link
that song is so bland that the official music video already looks like a target commercial
― mott the hoopleheads (voodoo chili), Sunday, 30 June 2019 16:01 (four years ago) link
i think the production on "go loko" is arrestingly intricate considering that its concept is completely unsubtle, nearly gimmicky
― dyl, Sunday, 30 June 2019 16:02 (four years ago) link
well yeah i'm not saying any of these songs are as good as the ones from last year's poll
― dyl, Sunday, 30 June 2019 16:03 (four years ago) link
“Talk” does have a pretty arresting melody. Good a&r

i like "talk"... it's funny to me that critics were at separate points head over heels for both khalid & disclosure and now they have a huge good pop hit together and nobody really seems to care
