base talk This is one of the most acclaimed songs of the year. Thoughts?

Acc to AOTY - aggregator of end of year critics lists, this song is the 12th best song of the year (link: https://www.albumoftheyear.org/songs/best/2024/)

 

According to Pitchfork:

 

Listening to "Bikini" feels like sipping a frothy French 95 while taking in a gorgeous last-day-of-vacation sunset. The slinky collaboration between Miami dance producer Nick León and Danish R&B experimentalist Erika de Casier conjures up its sun-dappled scene through walloping bass, hyaline synth melodies, and a sprightly pace to match the song's sunkissed lyrics, complete with a deliciously memorable invitation of a hook: "Meet me at the beach/It's me in the bikini/The one I always wear/Find me daydreaming," de Casier coos, just before León pitch-shifts her words down into a frantic, intoxicating demand. Who could possibly say no?

I never expected it to be so acclaimed but I love it (lowkey wish it was on Still to give it just a touch more upbeat energy just a TOUCH) so I'm glad to see it. Also in my top 50 of the year

I need a stronger/ more melodic chorus and additional bridge part.
