Freya Skye’s Bad Taste has emerged as the clear favorite in a recent fan-voted new music poll. Billboard announced the results after readers weighed in on a group of newly released songs, with Skye’s latest track taking a commanding share of the vote.
The poll placed Bad Taste well ahead of the other releases included in the lineup. The song drew more than 80 percent of the votes, while ROSÉ’s New Trick finished a distant second. New music from Miley Cyrus, Carly Rae Jepsen, Riley Green and other artists also appeared among the choices.
Bad Taste continues Skye’s move into a more confident pop sound. The song centers on questionable romantic choices, using a playful tone rather than treating the subject too seriously.
Skye had already introduced the track to fans during a headlining performance in New York, where she played an acoustic version. While the song is not expected to appear on her debut full-length album, it gives listeners another look at the direction she is exploring as her solo career develops.
