Timbaland ft Mila K - "Get No Betta". With this one you need to make it past the intro - 32 tiresome seconds but then finally the beat drops and "merry Christmas everybody", it's Timbaland at the close of 2015, a master who seems once again to have found the right tools. "Get No Betta" is a dance of glimmering synths and cascading backup vocals, Mila's supple verses, her voice phased just soft of solid. Certain songs seem capable of slipping through walls, between dimensions, folding from one state of being to another. You couldn't put "Get No Betta" in your pocket because it would slip out. You couldn't ever count on it to stay where it is. You can't trust a bird on a branch, steam in a kettle, light through clear glass. Don't fall too deep in love with this; or do.
