What's the Best Song on Luxury Elite's World Class That isn't S.W.A.K?
Folks praise this album as one of, if not the, quintessential Luxury Elite album, with a great bulk of its praise being levied towards its opening track, S.W.A.K., which in many ways is her most popular song. While I can't disagree that it's an absolutely sublime piece of the late-night lo-fi sound, I can't help but worry if some of that praise comes from the bias of it being the album's first song, and I feel like we'd do ourselves a disservice if we dismissed all of the other tracks and simply said World Class is excellent because of S.W.A.K. I'm not saying that we are; it's just that the annals of time might not be too kind to the other tracks if we keep putting this opener on a pedestal higher than all the other songs on the album.
So, I ask you folks: What is the best song on the album besides S.W.A.K.? If S.W.A.K. is your absolute favourite track on the album, what is your second favourite?
Me personally? I'm going with Crystal. Even with S.W.A.K. in the picture, this one's always been my favourite. I don't feel like enough people vocally appreciate Luxury Elite's ability to make frequently excellent late-night lo-fi out of Italo-disco, of all genres, and this particular sample of Vivien Vee's Heartbeat is so damn pretty. My honourable mentions go to Marble, Forever, and Signal.
