One of the more straightforward songs on Art Angels, Grimes allows a sharper edge to slip into her voice on this ethereal midtempo keyboard jam addressing someone who rejected her and is now reaching out again out of the blue. (She has said she no longer writes about love, so it could be wayward fans, friends or critics crawling back because she found success.) Grimes admitted in a radio interview that it’s her least favorite track, but voters found a few others they thought were worse.
Best bit: that squeaky, scratchy instrumental breakdown
TRAGIC!
This song is one of my favorites on the album. I love how she uses her lisp to add texture to the chorus.
I didn't get a lot of commentary for this rate, but I'll share some of my favorite for the songs that have been eliminated so far:
"Stair Androids & Valley Um..."

nice as a hidden track/fun little curiosity, I was just honestly surprised at how little it stood up on its own
"Debbie Downer"

This is a low point in the album, it feels very much like filler. To me it sounds uninspired and as a result Courtney's voice which works on the rest of the album sounds whiney and shallow here.
"Boxing Day Blues"

It's haunting but that's contrasted with this beautiful guitar chord progression in the background. It does in that way feel like the end of a train of thought, when there is nothing left. It's a poignant end to the album and a contrast from the stomping opener.
"Dead Fox"

boring verses, great and tragically short chorus

A song that wants me to hate it, it just really does its best to make me feel that way, but it hasn't worked so far. Sorry. Still got hit by the #curve tho
Favourite Colour (mine is yellow ) being the first one out of the Carly bonus tracks is disgusting when Black Heart and the other one idr the name are still here+ Scream should be a solid dozen spots higher but didn't expect much for it..
Courtney's lashings are a bit dull/predictable, too, but otherwise am fine with this update!
