Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)

Not only categorically one of the gayest songs ever made, but also one the most lividly produced. Scintillating in every single way – the bass thumps, the beat grooves, those vocals achieve the ethereal, and all that reverb gives this the most sultry, melancholic-sexy-sad-floor-filler vibe I think any song may ever have achieved. Getting ready for a night out hasn't felt right without playing this since I first let it into my life.
Brimming with hooks and lyrics with magnanimous genius. And that saxophone! Come on!! What's there to think about baby!! (Edited)
This song is a pop song but the lyrics are not so easy as it seems. His man is dead and because he feels lost...is looking for "fastlove" to lose himself in a way you don't need to love...but just fade...traying to forget. This is Fastlove...strange to say but it's a sad song...knowing that sex won't get u free from your pain because after all what we all look for is simply TRUE LOVE...
