What's The Story?
Phoenix won the Grammy in 2010 for best alternative music album. First, France makes the best electronic, and now they're threatening one of the genres North Americans are usually the kings of. (Or at least Brits.) 1901 is a #1 Billboard Hit Alternative single from that award winning album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.
Who's To Blame?
You haven't heard Electric Feel until you've heard her sing the solo.
Why ♥ It?
A high-swelling synth base, high notes on guitar all over the place, varied high vocals. Everything about this song is high and lovable. (Also, while high)
At the risk of ruining this feel-good gem, try and hear the chorus without hearing him repeat the word ballin' over and over again. I bought the album, I've read the lyrics, I know that he's saying "fold it". That's irrelevant. The great feel of this song combined with a small quirk in the accent has entirely changed the lyrics to turn the tune into into an anthem to a slang word I love a lil' too much.
