Boss is so good, makes me wanna download Tinashe's mixtape.

Ok, sent!

My ideal Top 10 would probably look something like this...

1. Champagne Coast
2. Water Me
3. Warm Water
4. Happens
5. Brain
6. Play by Play
7. The Wilhelm Scream
8. Cold Nites
9. You're Not Good Enough
10. Too Much

I agree about Kelela, her songs did not do anything for me SZA was a little better but still nothing too incredible.

And yes, Boss was great! I was ready to give up on her after the first two songs, they seriously had me questioning what she was doing in this rate, but the last three were better. I am intrigued.

Cold Nites in your top 10 If it makes it that far, I'm gonna be so happy. Would prefer Waiting Game to be BANKS's entry in the top 10 though.

This is exactly how I felt.

Cold Nites is so good. I gotta admit I slightly prefer Charli's version, though.

As for SZA, you should really check out Julia, Childs Play and Warm Winds. I much prefer them to all her songs in this rate sans Teen Spirit.

I really wanna check out her mixtape but it turns out she has several, with the songs from this rate spread out amongst them and no album out yet So I think I'm gonna wait for that, maybe listen some more on Youtube. But I just hate when I want to listen to a new artist and they don't have an album, I cannot deal with that

I don't blame you, I love what she did with it and how she really added something to it while still keeping the original spirit of the song.

Thanks for the recs, I will definitely check them!

I agree about Kelela and SZA, especially SZA. But there's nothing I could really do about it since all the selections were based on singles, songs treated with music videos or most acclaim tracks. These were just a taste of the artists. "Guns & Synths" and "Julia" would have slayed though . I want to do some sort of recommendation section during the reveal of the countdown.

I can't wait for these results

Here for it!

Same. Skimming through the thread, it seems like the results will be very varied as everbody's rooting for different songs and artists. I'm really stoked for this.

Are you still accepting or nah?

I've neglected doing this for too long
You even made a playlist

I am.

It's amazing how much a second listen can change your view on a song. Going to send some adjusted scores for a few songs later today.

I'm making my way through a second listen, hopefully to send soon!

Sent.

I had never listened to James Blake before. But gosh, his songs are so bad. The same for Jhené.
FKA x inc., It Won't Stop and Too Much were probably my favorites.

Am I the only one who thinks..

I Like It > It Won't Stop
Can't Say No > 2 On

???

I'm sorry I'm sorry.
Today is the day.

It has been so far and even the top 10's been shifting with each recent ballot I put in.

A full expose of rates would be nice as a compensation

Tinashe & Sampha were my favourite new discoveries!

I second this!
