Today's tracks ranked in descending order:įloating Points: Silhouettes (I, II, III) - slow grower innit, love it when the strings come in halfway through, rest of his album doesn't hit the same heights (although "Nespole" is nice) I wanted to read a million thinkpieces about this song & race & gender & economic inequality & the labour of beauty last year, it's all in there, this is just phenomenal and timely songwriting, she's the fucking bestĪnd the one bit where she lets her voice crack, gets out of the character's psychic armour of defiance and just crumbles with "DON'T I DESERVE TO BE PRIVILEGED, DON'T I DESERVE TO GET THE VERY BEST" and strikes right at the heart of every one of those themes "you're coach class and i'm in that g5" is really terius-like melodically as well, actually the entire middle 8 sceptically nodding to kendrick, terius and beyoncé in three consecutive lines works so well. is the accordion line running behind it meant to be reminiscent of the-dream's "fancy"? it's retelling that story from the girl's perspective in some ways.
and jazmine is so empathetic, she reminds me of brandy clark on this album. Is probably up there with the best opening verses i've ever heard? i love the run-on lines throughout the whole song, every statement has a caveat or qualification or something that adds a different angle to it. He said he'd keep it coming if i keep my body tight i voted for the superlative album but this fucking song.the nuances of the songwriting and the performance and the melodies blow me away every time.Īnd my tits get me trips to places i can't pronounce right I forgot this was starting, so pleased to see "mascara" made it.
