MP3: Susanne Sundfør - It's all gone tomorrow
I kind of hate the studio version of this song, even moreso having seen the above. Multi-tracked vocals and shitty machine percussion set for drum'n'bass circa 10 years ago are not befitting an artist such as Susanne Sundfør; she requires no such adornment and the more you layer on, the more it takes away. I especially detest the way the lines "You make me bleed / You make me breathe" are twisted into some sort of neo-R&B melisma harmony, even worse that they drop the floor from beneath her at that most crucial, cringeworthy moment. "The brothel", the title track of her latest album, is still the best song of 2010, but here you will see why I can't recommend it as a whole -- "It's all gone tomorrow" remains a terrific song at its core, but its production problems are emblematic of the record's shortcomings.
