I'm fine with the eliminations. Sampha's 'Happens' should have been top 5, but I'm over it now.
BANKS or James Blake for the win. Or at least Counting.

I would hope so
I'm considering going to HTDW although I already saw him earlier this year so I am not sure if I will go.

Those 1's really dragged Twigs her score down.
Settle Down is flawless, y'all are doing Kimbra wrong in this rate, I never knew she was so disliked. And I can still see some trash in the top 25 but I won't get started on that.

Water Me. 
YES at Banks making a few people pressed in here. Four songs - which are actually her very best ones without Change sadly not being there - in the top 25, slay.

It's lowkey kind of annoying that this such a small (but loyal) crowd. Things would go much faster if more people were here for this.

Did you forget about my M/F Duo rate? 5 people total and the rate was finished in 2 weeks tops.

Oh yeah, I forgot. It's a struggle not hosting a pop girl rate ain't it?
Lemme me stop complaining.

Speaking of which I kinda sorta wish I didn't do that rate so that this rate or the second installment of this rate could have included Skin Town.

He was once untouchable and now he's out before potentionally having the most top 20 entries. “Ego Free, Sex Free” is somewhere between soul-pop, funk and R&B. It's just a mess of things but a good mess; synthesizers, drums, electric guitars, hi-hats, chipmunk vocal chops and a climatic chorus.

I so was going to use them! But their album deserved some sort of exposure so it's cool.
