    Music King Semi Final: 1

    Welcome to the first semi final of music king!

    Two genres this time:

    Electronica (we'll try this again, no aphex twin)
    90s Pop
    One free pick

    Player 1
    Dig your Own Hole was such a seismic commercial success, had singles that were played so repeatedly and used so extensively by films / ads - that it’s easy to overlook / forget how great it was. It served as my own personal entry into electronic music as a teenager. Choosing a song from the album is hard, but I’ve gone for this banger. Spike Jonze’s music video accompanies the track perfectly, particularly at the crucial climatic moment.





    90’s Pop is such a broad church, trying to pick a single song is a near impossible task. My choice therefore comes down to hearing this randomly on the radio over the weekend for the first time in years and marvelling at how great it is. Leaving aside the iconic video, this is original, funky, jazzy and oh so catchy can’t get out of your head pop. Worth enjoying again.





    A third great music video, but a very different offering musically here. Lekman has always been a great storyteller and it’s no different here, as he takes us through an awkward dinner with his date who is using him as a cover. It all leads to an uplifting conclusion and rousing reprise, bubblegum for the ears.





    Player 2



    Not 100 percent sure what electronica is defined as, not a term I see v often - is it all electronic music, or verging on more chiller stuff? I'm gonna go with the latter and any excuse to roll out this tender beauty



    Little bit electronic, little bit 90s pop, this one hit number 2 in America, number 8 in UK, but the real heads know it from Mushroom Jazz!



    Not much needed to be said here. One of the best from a genius

      electronica

      really enjoyed acid bells minimalist sound, whereas i got a little bit tired after a while of the CB track

      90s pop

      used to like jamiroquai and this was a great track atthe time, but just got absolutely sick of it, and still am.

      love that blue boy track but that is not pop for me.

      free pick

      that jens lekman was not for me, and neither was that d'angelo track

      not a whole lot for me to enjoy in this round, but on balance P2 takes it

              Not a lot for me here, Player 1 should be disqualified for picking that pisspoor Stevie Wonder impression by Jimoraquai, but Chemical Bros much the better Electronica track and the Jens Lekman track swings it back to Player 1
