I agree the Chris version is atrocious and unnecessary, I'd have given it a 3.
Solo on the other hand is GODLY. It was my 7th (I think?) best song of 2013.

This is actually the first song from Banks that I've head before getting into the rest of her discography after all the buzz she was generating on here. It's "warm", sultry, and sleek, smooth production that compliments her vocals.

Great song but I'm here for Banks losing some before the top ten to even things out.
As long as Waiting Game is her highest!

GOD DAMN IT
(this is what I get for celebrating the elimination before)
EDIT: Well it looks like I didn't even rate this song apparently.

Warm Water is
SO beautiful and feel-good, the song itself is pure water. I love it. I wanted Waiting Game to be out before it... but it's a good enough position. As long as Brain gets as high as it can get, I'm all right...
Glad Sevyn Streeter is out, I don't get the fuss about her at all. She was very uninteresting, to me.

Warm Water is my least favourite Banks song. I don't get the hype.

"Warm Water" is so good.
But at this point I'm fine with any BANKS song leaving.

There's a solo version?! I need it... so I don't have to feel guilty about liking the song.

no Autre Ne Veut should win the whole thing if not, Blood Orange. Banks, however, can kick rocks.

Kingdom and Kelela make a perfect match on “Bank Head” and pretty much all the tracks they have done together on their respective EP and mixtape. So much going on with the production with it's wonky club beat, sonars, claps and chipmunk-like chops and Kelela's vocals are able to blend so well with it. I love the extended version of this, which is only a little outro of some harmonies but it's a nice closer.

It wasn't my favorite track from her, but it was still enjoyable. This is fine leaving.

This top ten is kinda messy.
