This sums how I feel about Hatchie. The whole EP is so effortlessly joyful. Ended up voting for Sure and I'm delighted to see it place. Really hope she can maintain this level of quality over an album when it comes (hopefully soon!)

xps judging by hatchie's twitter she's almost done with her album so it's probably not too far away
would be very surprised if TFS don't at least do decently in the albums poll

Yay for double Simmy! Two tracks from my #1 album! I voted for “Umahlalela”, hoping to push it even higher here after the TSJ boost (it was their highest-scoring song of the year). Although I love “Ubala” as well, it doesn’t do nearly as much for me.

Didn't vote for this but it's really good imo. The album wasn't consistent but the two long songs at the end were killer. I might even have voted for Cool & Collected if someone had nominated it. This is great too though

34: Tracey Thorn – “Queen” – 224 points – 6 votes – 1 first place votevideo
Tracey Thorn
http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=24957
“Queen” is an entirely different song depending on whether you think Thorn has found love, and is marveling at the million tiny ways the world could have changed to prevent that (and a different song still if the thought makes her terrified, not awed), or if she hasn’t, and is scouring the past for the mistake. I think she means the former, but the song sounding exactly like “Thank God It’s Not Christmas” (“great things to say or do / aren’t done by you / obviously”) tips it back toward the latter for me. So many people I know feel as if the world’s been kicked out from beneath them. It’s not only the political climate — though that certainly doesn’t help — but the sense that their life suddenly happened and then unhappened. Everyone describes it differently, but they all independently come up with Hollywood terms: dying sitcoms, ex-child stars, the US version of royalty. Sometimes I imagine that myself-from-my-old-life is still out there, “Evil Doppelgangers“-style, younger, in a much glitzier locale, with more to say to more people. Is she queen? Does she ever find love? Whose odds are better, hers or mine? “Might have been” is a lot less limited than “is.” - Katherine St Asaph
“She’s blown her pipes,” I thought at first. On second listen, the newly serrated edges of Tracey Thorn’s voice add sardonicism to another synthed-up chapter in her ongoing project of limning the quiet lives of men and women who deserve more than they’re getting. “Am I queen or something else I might have been / a star backseat of a blacked-out car?” she sings, as usual, keeping her head while others lose theirs. – Alfred Soto

Oh wow, I didn't see this coming! So great to see Tracey making such excellent music this late into her career. Her solo albums have all been so strong and Record is up there with the best she's ever done. Queen is a great opener and I even dig the low budget video.
