Well if I were to lose, I couldn't pick a better album.

Also ya'll racist af. hehe just kidding. I do think this ode to loving being black (amongst other things) is beautiful.

This is where I diverge from supporting the Cinderella story and go with Sault.

Texier, easy. Underwhelming matchup for a final 8 imo, although I really do enjoy Chance.

Man, these are my two favourite albums out of the final eight and they are pitted against each other.
My first reaction is to vote for Chance, but I'll have to give both of them one extra listen before making up my mind.

Texier.

(Who, I'm surprised has made it this far). His 70s/80s/90s works are better btw, if anyone wants to check those out.

I'm glad both of these albums made it this far. Both great in their own right.

Had to go with Sault, though Texier puts together a great album.
