I honestly think you're all mad. 'Downtown' is a go-to, 5 a.m., mid-session, singalong belter. Me and mine absolutely adore it, especially after a bunch of powders.

Totally! 🤣

I nearly nominated Sundfør's Reincarnation myself so was super happy to see her nominated here.

Downtown vocal performance was pretty annoying for me. So easy choice here for me, especially with that well executed explosion around the 3 minute mark. It's both powerful and subdued due to the mic placement/mix.

I get that. As far as the tournament goes, I guess there are songs that would probably fair better, particularly anything off of Ten Love Songs, but Undercover is easily my favorite track she’s done. The songwriting, lyricism, dynamics... plus this line is incredible:

Someone who wouldn’t bother to tell me what to feel - to tell me what is real.

I think the album as a whole gets overlooked by fans of Ten Love Songs.

That’s completely fine with me. You should nominate your favourite song, even if it’s not the obvious choice. In fact I prefer it when the noms are very personal and unexpected. Not that Undercover is a hidden gem or anything, but it’s your fave.

There’s several better Sundfør songs than Undercover (I almost nominated Accelerate myself), but it still gets my vote.

Two great songs. Undercover narrowly gets my vote. It would have regardless, but that video is... not value added.

I figured going up against Sundfor would be a death sentence so happy to see my pick isn't getting clobbered. Undercover is nice, I remember that album not being my style but I like this track quite a bit. Still sticking with my nom for its blend of musical subtlety and plainspoken / heart on its sleeve lyrics.

Loving this track. Very Blue Nile-ish.

I am firmly against bad grammar, and theirfore cannot vote for someone who spells it "Majical"

Contrary to the usual habit, I prefered the scope and polish of a lot of the electronic tracks on Ten Love Songs to Music's more ballad-heavy, singer-songwriter approach, but still a solid song and it gets my vote over Magical Cloudz easily (though most songs here would).

You kids are silly. 'Downtown' is the best song in this tournament. The fact that it's losing comfortably does not bode well for other good songs.
