That's not what the word means in that context though! It's basically a synonym for 'current', or I guess 'most recent' in this case. The definition shown there would be if you said something like 'it is incumbent upon you to vote for my song'. x

Well then, time to get this started...

01 RISER ◼ Jake Shimabukuro ‘The Greatest Day'



QUOTE
Why ‘The Greatest Day'?
I discovered the song back in May I think, it was love on first listen and I decided shortly after that it'd be my next UP entry. It reminds me of a song I sent to Nuggets four years ago. This song is mellow enough that I had no expectation of it standing out or doing particularly well, but I think it's my first time sending an instrumental and it feels nice to know I've finally done that. I'm curious to find out who does like it, if anyone does!

Votes
20 points - Elísabet ‘Heart Beats'
15 points - Thylacine ‘Versailles'
12 points - SASSY 009 ‘Are You Leaving'
10 points - 乌龟tortoise 'Sun Quan the Emperor (Guzheng & Drum Version)’
08 points - Fiona Walden ‘Shoot Me Down'
07 points - Deja Blu 'Lake Song'
06 points - Uppermost 'Given by Nature'
05 points - Luttrell ‘Windowscene'
04 points - Faye Webster ‘She Won't Go Away'
03 points - Flunk ‘Queen of the Underground’
02 points - Robots in Disguise ‘DIY’
01 point - Mall Grab ‘Liverpool Street In the Rain'


Riser starting us off with the first of maybe one or two instrumentals in the competition. A sweet little song, and certainly not something I expected. 'Heart Beats' has the dubious honour of being the default leader of the scoreboard — well done Elísabet. Can she keep it up?

Songs will join the scoreboard when they have received at least one point — if they ever do.

Scoreboard
01 20 Elísabet ‘Heart Beats'
02 15 Thylacine ‘Versailles'
03 12 SASSY 009 ‘Are You Leaving'
04 10 乌龟tortoise 'Sun Quan the Emperor (Guzheng & Drum Version)’
05 08 Fiona Walden ‘Shoot Me Down'
06 07 Deja Blu 'Lake Song'
07 06 Uppermost 'Given By Nature'
08 05 Luttrell ‘Windowscene'
09 04 Faye Webster ‘She Won't Go Away'
10 03 Flunk ‘Queen Of The Underground’
11 02 Robots in Disguise ‘DIY’
12 01 Mall Grab ‘Liverpool Street In the Rain'

'The Greatest Day' was an interesting choice and definitely not one I'd have pegged on Jordan! I said on plug that it kind of sounded like someone trying to play a post-rock song on a ukulele.

02 MATTIAS ◼ SASSY 009 ‘Are You Leaving'



QUOTE
Why ‘Are You Leaving'?
My entries in song contests tend to mostly just be songs I'm super into at the moment, and 'Are You Leaving' is no exception. There was something about that song (and video) when I found it that really made me take notice - I'm now regularly listening to the fantastic EP, called Do you mind EP. I just really love the atmosphere and production (and the flutes *.*) and thought it would make for an interesting, unique entry! I was really pleased with the plug reaction (I think dandy* said it could be the host's entry) so I'm curious to see what happens.

Votes
20 ◼ Deja Blu 'Lake Song' - subtle dreamy trip-hop gorgeousness
15 ◼ American Football ‘Silhouettes' - a beautiful guitar-filled wall of sound
12 ◼ JeanGa & George 'Compromise' - a trip, love the piano riff
10 ◼ Sarathy Korwar ‘Bol (feat. Zia Ahmed & Aditya Prakash)’ - a mesmerizing experience
08 ◼ Liar ‘Benzolovers' - dark & cool
07 ◼ HVOB ‘Panama' - interesting sonic experience
06 ◼ 乌龟tortoise 'Sun Quan the Emperor (Guzheng & Drum Version)’ - i want to play that chinese instrument
05 ◼ Flunk ‘Queen of the Underground’ - sweet track from an old fave, love the way it builds
04 ◼ Mall Grab ‘Liverpool Street In the Rain' - solid electronic banger
03 ◼ Sophia Bel 'Time' - classy melancholia, a very pretty song
02 ◼ Toundra ‘Magreb' - 11 minute epic
01 ◼ Jake Shimabukuro ‘The Greatest Day' - such a sweet tune


'Are You Leaving' (paired with the video) feels quintessentially Unknown Pleasures. Female vocalist, dreamy synth-pop, that lo-fi video. And from Mattias? An unexpected choice.

Scoreboard
01 27 Deja Blu 'Lake Song'
02 20 Elísabet ‘Heart Beats'
03 16 乌龟tortoise 'Sun Quan the Emperor (Guzheng & Drum Version)’

03 BRÉ ◼ Thylacine ‘Versailles'



QUOTE
Why ‘Versailles'?
I usually tend to gravitate towards sending ~quirky~ instrumentals to UP (so apologies to those who aren't big fans of having lots of instrumentals in these contests) and this is pretty much just more of the same - I was particularly drawn to this one because of the pretty visuals in the music video recorded at the palace of Versailles, I believe the actual song was recorded there as well which is a cool little unique oddity ~

Votes
20 Liar - Benzolovers (this song slapped all of my orifices, winner pls)
15 Mall Grab - Liverpool Street In The Rain
12 HVOB - Panama
10 Prosumer and Murat Tepeli - Go Silla
08 SASSY 009 - Are You Leaving
07 9mm Parabellum Bullet - Heart Ni Hi Wo Tsukete
06 Turtle - Sun Quan The Emperor (Guzheng & Drum Version)
05 Toundra - Magreb
04 Snapped Ankles - Tailpipe
03 Uppermost - Given By Nature
02 JeanGa And George - Compromise
01 Deja Blu - Lake Song

Apologies to the following, this was a very strong edition and I'd have liked to vote for these as well:

Jake Shimabukuro - The Greatest Day
Sarathy Korwar - Bol (feat. Zia Ahmed and Aditya Prakash)
Sophia Bel - Time
Luttrell - Windowscene
Flunk - Queen Of The Underground


Well, you couldn't vote for those. Riser is fuming. Sorry~

I always underestimate how much everyone leaves these things to the last minute, really wasn't expecting my votes to be revealed this early!! Not complaining tho x (thanks Jordan for the 15 so far cool.gif x)

This being revealed just as 'Versailles' has come on on a YT playlist I'm listening through oh my.

Also sorry if anyone was expecting my song to be a cover of the iconic Rolloland BJSC entry.
