SpinTunes 25 continues, and the Round 2 results are in. In Round 1, four of the five judges gave their Number 1 vote to the same artist. In Round 2, every judge gave their Number 1 vote to a different artist, and as you peruse the full rankings you'll see similar discrepancies up and down the board. What can account for this? One simple fact: these songs are all terrific.
You used the challenge as an opportunity to explore more complex harmonic writing; but you also, freed from any lyrical constraint, went in all sorts of conceptual directions that made comparing these songs to each other its own challenge. The judges rose to the challenge, and they've made their decisions.
Before we reveal the winner, a little SpinTunes history: Between SpinTunes 1 and SpinTunes 10, Edric Haleen won eight rounds, finally snagging the title of Champion in ST10. His record for individual round wins has stood uncontested, until now, when another SpinTunes legend also claims his eighth round victory.
Congratulations to Sober, whose country anthem "I Didn't Leave Texas" comes on top in the judges' rankings. Just a single point behind him is our second place finisher David Taro, and two tiny points behind him is Governing Dynamics in third.
