why bubblin was scrapped from oxnard remains a mystery to me.

I prefer the live version of tlic tbh. The production stands out.

Dua, DJ Koze, MGMT, Charli, Andy, Ari, and US Girls

 

while tlic grew on me a bit, let's not go crazy now. It's still like bottom 3 on the album.

But her fans definitely have tragic taste. Remember when they thought no tears left to cry was some left-field **** and so completely different to other material? :skull:

The riff on yoruwooyoideta definitely makes the song :clap3:

One Kiss, the most harmless bop of the year

Sons of Kemet :clap3::clap3: Nikkki WISHES she was as talented

When You Die still bops a bit even if it's decomposing

I swear I listened to Focus like 3 times in total and it's still stuck in my head like bitch wtf

Bubblin & L-Over :clap3:

Died at My Queen is Harriet Tubman :bibliahh:Focus is the best thing she has released this year... ooop tea. When You Die, the light is coming, L-Over...

The fists of fury acclaim, wow.

 

All of these are pretty good.

TLIC didn't deserve all the hate, but it's also not her best song :)

 

Focus is cute

I basically liked every single song from this update? Maybe miss volition snapped

L-Du_imkeXgAAi-0v.jpg being overlooked is a travesty, I kinda wish it was a single so people would give it the respect it deserves

One Kiss :katie2: 

Focus is not the best Charli song but the worst part is that you thot 5ITM was the next closest one

 

my view remains correct x

is the word brave positive or negative i rly don't know anymore

 

looove bubblin and you're totally right, all of oxnard combined isn't even half as good. focus is second best charli song this year so i would fight but i respect all 5ITM stans, i hope both of you have a great 2019. l-over isn't my top US girls track but it's up there for sure

brave in this case is good! i liked the song!

:heart2:er

2. Words I Heard - Julia Holter

utterly beautiful the whole way through. there is really only one vocal melody but it’s incredible, the lyrics are great, the strings in the ‘bridge’ section are heavenly, and then there’s that final line. ‘i love you in the city of man’.

musica chamber pop

1. Unmade - Thom Yorke

no real question about it, since i heard the leak on reddit. spellbindingly beautiful, improved further by the absolute event that is the scene in the movie that it plays in, attached to a special personal experience. whenever i hear this song i find myself holding my breath.

You should switch 30-21 and 10-1 tbh

 

Gr8 list overall tho!!!! 

Posted

Aye we had the same idea. Lot of similar songs in other positions. Solid #1 choice. 

 

Overall I Love this list since it overlaps w/ mine a bit. 

Posted

love these writeups, love these songs, great job

Posted

musica quality musica for like all of these

 

words i heard stans lemme hear yall make some ****in noise

Posted

Everyone just about tired of doing their countdowns :rip: 

Lots of talent, lots of big bops :clap3: 

I think my favorite would have to be Is It Cold...? and interesting choice for a #1!

Posted

Suspiria's soundtrack was great, just like the movie :clap3:

 

Jessie Ware :heart2:

Posted

The right Lana song winning! :jamming: 

Robyn slaying with a good song too!

Posted

You know what.. I love almost everything here. Most of those I either chose for my own list or are among my faves from their albums. Musica excellence all around.

 

Venice bitch was robbed of top 10 tho. :chick1: 

Posted (edited)

Wow Thom #1? Shook! Great top 30 though, it’s great that you avoided picking the obvious songs and went with mostly deep-cuts :jonny4:

Edited by Sbbmsve

I like most of these. Ghosttown, In My Dreams,Girl of the Year, Noid, Emerald Rush :clap3: Noid is the best song of all time btw

Posted

Yeah this list is a slay.

Blue Rose, Send To Robin, Emerald Rush are some of my favorite songs of the year. 

Only listened to the Suspiria OST once, waiting for the movie to be available digitally so I can see it and fully enjoy it.
