September 2, 20195 yr glad to be giving high points to the host! another great track blacksquare! :heart:
September 2, 20195 yr Beautiful entry from the host! I kept feeling like it's probably the entry that's closest to my own sonically? With the ethereal vocals and strong bass. idk maybe that's just me.
September 2, 20195 yr Author 14 SEVENSEIZE ◼ Snapped Ankles ‘Tailpipe’ ARlxiQI_Aps Why 'Tailpipe'?

September 2, 20195 yr I thought Sophia Bel sounded very Jade-y (although it didn't get any points from either her or me oops - it was a very nice listen though and probably moreso than any of the other songs that just missed out on my votes would likely have been higher if I had actually given more listens to the songs). Snapped Ankles was one that I guessed the identity of very quickly, it has a very uniquely SevenSeize-y charm to it. Good stuff. My top 3 are all in the top 4 now, going rather swimmingly x
September 2, 20195 yr I'll catch up with the results tomorrow, thanks All for the points + I'm really happy that some of you liked 'Panama' as much as I do :heart:
September 2, 20195 yr Author 15 RHODA CAMEL ◼ Liar ‘Benzolovers' xE7eEDerlvQ Why 'Benzolovers'? "Benzolovers" struck me during a night of insomnia and had this instantly relatable quality. The title suggests an antidepressant-induced uncertainty that the song lives up to. The foggy vocals and piano samples over sharp, scattered percussion mimic your brain zoning out protectively during an anxiety attack. "Benzolovers" evokes this feeling of 3am unease and discomfort, yet the familiar audio and movie samples give it a distant dose of familiarity to not let the package alienate the listener.

September 2, 20195 yr I thought Sophia Bel sounded very Jade-y I remember thinking it could be Jade too! Also dandy*. Sometimes in these contests I have so many fleeting thoughts as to who could've sent what :lol: I really had no idea who was behind Deja Blu tho, I thought it was a really positively unusual entry, but Jade does make sense for it.
September 2, 20195 yr Benzolovers is by far one of my favourite discoveries of this year, so I'm glad I got to send it somewhere. Loved Jade's entry and judging by my votes I would not be averse to a FrankLuck win! :wub:
September 2, 20195 yr Your hosting is great, blacksquare! Unsurprised by the darkest song leading or who is behind it!
September 2, 20195 yr Leww winning again *.* (1000% behind it here of course). Did have a sneaky suspicion this would be Leww's, sounded like a Halloween bop, the very clear standout for me even in such a strong contest. Loving the Pitchfork esque write-up for it as well xx (and thank you for another 15! <3)
September 2, 20195 yr Me and Leww swapping 20s :wub: that would make an excellent winner! Off to have a bath but please keep Deja Blu at least top 20 by the time I get back guys x
September 2, 20195 yr Down to second last! I wasn't expecting it to do well but I like it too much to finish last! Shame nobody else did!
September 2, 20195 yr Author Ready to come last in another contest :cheer: Oh no. 16 PETEFROMLEEDS ◼ Prosumer & Murat Tepeli ‘Go Silla' wxoggtpIVtA Why 'Go Silla'? Go Silla was a song I discovered absolutely years ago on a free music site called RCRD LBL. I loved it back in the day (so much that it convinced me to get the album) and obviously it's stayed in my head up until now. I always struggle with entries for UP as it needs to be more than just 'an indie song' to do well so I delved into my archives and remembered this, and thought it would fit nicely!
