god I would kill for LDR to open one of her songs with "this california noir shit, it's not for everyone, it's a motherfucking vibe"

Woo, my #1! I'm not even that huge a LDR fan but this song really floored me. I am probably alone in this but the thing it reminds me of the most is 'Rain Song' by Sunny Day Real Estate...

Well deserved placings for both Lana songs. She's been very consistent on our albums lists but isn't this the first year she's made the tracks list since Video Games?

This would explain why I find it perplexing that people like it so much.

If there are indeed two 1975 tracks in this year’s top 3, a special amendment will be activated calling for the expulsion of the 1975 posse from ILM. May they roam happily ever after.

3: Ella Mai – “Boo’d Up” – 704 points – 22 votes – 1 first place votevideo
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

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.

Based on my first encounter with this song, I think I too am a member of that select group, Simon. Coriander rules though.
