You lived under a rock? It was played a bit on triplej for a while.

How have I never heard this banger before?

I like 'Life Keeps Going'.

...Childish Gambino and Prince to Bloc Party. “Sometimes they’re pinning major influences on me that I’ve never heard of in my life,” he said in 2022.

Yeah, i definitely see the comparisons being made. Even with some of his movements in the 'life keeps going' video reminded me of Childish Gambino's movements in 'This is America'. Might be a subtle nod, but doesn't seem it by how Owusu speaks on it.

I knew she was catching on, but I was pretty shocked to hear her in forza

Some great variety in the entries?

I only just noticed - that should have been an exclamation mark, but I accidentally Ron Burgundy'd it 😆

Birdbrain was my winner I’ve listened to that song way too much over the last week

I enjoyed that one a lot too, much more than I was expecting to!

Some great variety in the entries?

Really out of all sorts of genre corners.

Its a good rule, i think it was like that last year, but I'd forgotten. That stuffed me up a bit because I wanted to put Bleach in my number three spot, making me have to reconsider a couple placements.

Birdbrain was my winner I've listened to that song way too much over the last week, my familt are properly sick of hearing it. Couldn't go passed Limbo for second place though. So epic! 😆

Looks like I got my votes in just in time this afternoon!

I thought Angine de Poitrine would do well, and I'm happy to see they did. I had no idea where 'Merz Leck Eier' would land, but it's fun and I'm glad to see it also did well.

Finally submitted my votes!

Some great variety in the entries?

Good that you can't vote for your own instance's song. I can't remember if it was like that in previous years. I placed MUDRAT (capital letters!) highly, but I would have even if they weren't an Australian artist 🤘

Only three more days to get your votes in over on Lemmy Vision 3 at jlai.lu. There are some fantastic songs in the mix this year!

I'm loving our winning song (Aussie.zone), Ecca Vandal - Bleach. But i think Jamie Paige - Birdbrain, and Igorrr - Limbo are probably going to be in the top three.

After that it gets hard. Theres about five more that i'm enjoying. Gonna have to go round three on listening to the whole playlist I think 🤔

Igorrr - i still ain't over the fact that i missed their concert in my city a few months ago

I's starting to wonder where your list was. Interesting that out of our top three two are the same, but we couldn't be more different on London Lights 😅

I had to find a time to give them all another listen/watch, but here we go!

I feel bad for putting King Giz so far down the list, but i really disliked the music video, and the song was okay but not a stand out.

I think I've found a new artist to follow in Ecca Vandal though.

Oh yeah! True. Alright scrap that song.

I’m not 100% sure this is okay. The main artist is aussie, but it features Colombian-American artist Soltera. I don’t know the word on featured artists.

There doesn't seem to be a rule against it explicitly. However, if the aim of Lemmyvision is to share national cultures, I would think it's against that spirit.

Unfortunately this song does run afoul of an explicit rule, though, specifically the 'national languages' rule:

If the song contains vocals then it must be in (one of) the official language(s) of your choice, or a regional language of your choice.

(from: https://jlai.lu/post/35451902)

I don't think we can reasonably claim Spanish sung by a Colombian-American artist is an official or regional language of Australia 😆
