ELLA MAI - ELLA MAI
boo’d up • i like it • OTW
Every time I've heard "Boo'd Up" in public has been an absolute still-unexpected joy.– Katherine
"Boo'd Up" gets me high. – Eazy
plot twist of the year is when ella mai reveals herself to be british at the end of “boo’d up”— jord (@jordansarge) June 8, 2018

I can hear the affinities: honesty, precision, an appreciation of space. I don’t hear a false note. – Alfred Soto
At one point Wale was attached; at another point if Chris Brown had chosen not to hop on “Scream” it would have been a Kevin Hart (?!) song. Those averted potential futures make Ella Mai’s final version sound like even more of a miracle. Joy is precious, kids. Get it where you can. – Jonathan Bogart

I failed to vote for this, but def my favorite big pop song from last year

the other big boo'd up plot twist is that it's mustard on the beat

this getting to no. 1 would've been a nice rhyme with the year "2 on" topped the list

that Jessie Ware song is considerably better than I thought it was based on a past listen
I missed the KKB version discussion--which is the one on Spotify?

she is singing 'buddha' in the chorus fyi

too low

god what a fucking perfect song
if it was number 1 it would still be too low

the chorus quasi scatting is the cilantro of pop this year, making the whole song unpalatable to a select group (including me)
― resident hack (Simon H.), Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:45 (five years ago) link
I'd nominate Richard Dawson as someone who has a similar level of love/hate divide on here as The 1975.
I don't see them having two songs still to come, yet at the same time it would be odd if Give Yourself A Try was the second most popular song from the album.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:46 (five years ago) link
Yeah, I would like this but for the central pun(s?) of the chorus - it's too distracting.
― tangenttangent, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:46 (five years ago) link
Just to backtrack for a second, 'hollowness' and 'ennui' are the last words I'd use to describe Astral Weeks (except for 'Slim Slow Slider', maybe). VM's possessed utterances have nothing in common with LDR's smooth nihilism. Unless it was meant as a commentary on millennial disaffection, which may or may not be an actual thing.

Boo'd Up what a vibe. Well-deserved.
― Nabozo, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:46 (five years ago) link
why is she singing 'hen fap' in the chorus
― ciderpress, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:47 (five years ago) link
damn, I regret not voting for Ella and I'm also about to regret not waiting to vote in Simon's poll

Peggy Gou has to show surely?
― Dan Worsley, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:47 (five years ago) link
Based on my first encounter with this song, I think I too am a member of that select group, Simon. Coriander rules though.

I regret not pitching an essay on her album; we'll still be talking about it in a few years.

the brit one?
cos she sounds american until the spoken word at the end of the song?
― suggest boban (Will M.), Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:49 (five years ago) link
the video version omits that, you gotta listen on a streaming service or find audio elsewhere to hear it

“Boo’d Up” is sounding pretty good right now, but I never got past “nice vibe” with this one. Still don’t get it, it’s too retro to feel really special to me, I guess.

ah

what's cool about Boo'd Up is that it's a song about being boo'd up

I've heard Boo'd Up on the radio a lot. I didn't know credible people think it's a great song. The beat compares unfavorably to like every R&B DJ Khaled beat
