Back From the Future is fantastic, what a discovery! I’m still not gonna vote it over a Bowie track though, it’s a tough opponent. I would’ve nominated Blackstar personally, I find it a better song, but Lazarus is like 3rd best on one of the best albums of the decade.

RP Boo channeling early Hyperdub and running it through a juke filter. I'll put up my hand proudly as its sole voter.

I was torn which song to pick from Blackstar, but the opening and closing lines finally cinched it for me. Between...

Look up here
I'm in heaven
I've got scars that can't be seen

... and...

Just like that bluebird
I'll be free
Ain't that just like me?

Couldn't bring myself to nominate any other song.

The opening lines especially, man... It’s a fantastic song and I’ll probably vote for it every round.

Really good song from a really good album by RP Boo, but Lazarus is very moving and an absolute classic. Gets my vote for what I imagine won't be the last time.

All respect to Mr. Bowie but I'm still straining to hear all the Scott Walker and jazz influence people told me were on this record, this RP Boo song is genuinely a masterpiece.
