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.

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).

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.

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 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:

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