Coming in at #58 in our best songs of 2015 countdown, In For The Kill, my favorite track from young genderqueer Las Vegan Shamir Bailey's Rachet, one of my favorite 2015 synth-pop albums.
And while much of the emphasis when talking about Shamir focuses on his gender identity or the equally fluid, hard to pin down in traditional genres nature of his music, my enthusiasm for In For The Kill comes from a much less complicated place.
I just love that crazy, off-kilter opening horn line and how it sets the musical tone for everything that follows in the song.
