Next up in the teenage daughter music suggestion box is 10K, the 2020 song release by Obongjayar! And its weighted random opponent happens to be Endless Love by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross from 1981!
Here are the two youtubes:
Analysis: 10K is just such a fun modern song with a rolling beat. Obongjayar is an English/Nigerian performer with such a deep voice, and the chorus to this song gets in your head and stays there. It’s a simple and repetitive song to its detriment. But the Eliminator loves the modern African artist, particularly such an interesting sounding one.
Endless Love is a classic Lionel Richie / Diana Ross duet from 1981 and the perfect song to be eliminated from the Eliminator, which is turning out to be a musical refresh project now that I’m getting into it (at least for now). I probably cried to this song in love with some girl in 7th grade, it’s true. But that was 40 years ago. I really truly do love this song, but it is time to move on.
Ruling: 10K is moving into the top 1000. This is a fun song to listen to and one that will be there for a while I hope. It’s going in at #723.
