Ooooooh! Thought this was a no brainer as I worship both SVE and Angel Olsen, but DAMN that Bussin' song be some fine grown man shit.

[EyeKanFly]

Yeah both songs are great, this was a tough call for me (looks like a lot of tough calls in the 1st round). I also expected these 2 songs to have about the same recognition, but Pink Siifu doesn't even have a wikipedia page somehow, so maybe my notion was a little skewed.

I ended up going for "Like I Used To". Pink Siifu's whole album was great, but the SVE/Angel Olsen colab ended up being one of my most listened to songs of the last year or so, and I still find myself checking it out a lot.

Also this is dumb of me but I always mix up Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen... and this song did nothing to change that lol.

Close, but I love Angel Olsen’s voice on this one. It’s next level.

[Mercury]

Kind of no contest for me. This SVE and Angel Olsen song is absolutely incredible. Cavernous and moving and they have such great chemistry.

Bussin’ was pretty cool. But yeah, “Like I Used to” gets my vote.

2 of the best voices in music come together and the result is not any less than the sum of its parts. Also have a lot of fond memories from last year connected to Like I Used To. It'll be a tough song to beat.

I didn't really love Pink Siifu's album last year, but the songs work well as singles. Not gonna change my vote or anything, but Bussin' is a solid cut.

Those two great voices really do work well together on Like I Used To, but I already want to hear Bussin' again, so from initial impressions its Pink Siifu for me.

[dihansse]

It's like SvE and AO each have two different voices so that's four voices all together: so no doubt I choose this one.

[Patman360]

Been struggling to really get into Pink Siifu for some time now really, there's bit there but it's never captivating me fully, so Van Etten and Olsen take this one for me.

'Like I Used To' is pretty solid but no question I'm voting for Pink Siifu. Pink Siifu has been one of the most versatile artists in hip-hop for years now and Gumbo' has easily been my favorite release of his. Bussin' is my favorite banger on the album and was one of my most played songs last year. It's one of those songs I cant play just once I gotta run that shit back each time. Hopefully we can get more southern hip-hop from Siifu because goddamn.
