Find it very difficult to compare the Jeff Buckley song to my other votes - I have only just heard it in the last couple of weeks so although I can recognise it as a well deserved classic and it is a beautiful song I don't have the long standing connection to it to feel obligated to rank it at #1 by default, so although it feels low key disrespectful I have to be honest and say that for the moment I'm much more likely to want to revisit these shallow Rocky bangers than that 'Jogodo' is not reinventing the wheel but another very solid song from Asake (oh and I guess Wizkid is on it too). 'STAY HERE 4 LIFE' was not so much of a highlight from Rocky for me, the first part of the song feels a bit meandering (though Brent Faiyaz' vocals sound good as ever), enjoy it slightly more after the beat switch but it's a bit too little too late. The ZXKAI thing is quite fun I guess but it also just feels like an unfinished fragment - I did also listen to the slowed version out of curiosity and I think it works slightly better than the original (I notice it's the slowed version that's uploaded on slxughter's YouTube channel without tagging that it is slowed). The less said about the 'Papaoutai' cover the better really, as documented elsewhere pretty much every aspect of it is repulsive but even ignoring the ~discourse~... how are you going to have AI vocals and still have them sound this horrendous, he really needed to rerun that prompt.

All of these are awful.

I do feel like Jeff Buckley is catching some strays by association here x
