best of Chapel's Best of 2018 | Songs 30-21

[theblackestday]

well... we love low, we do

[madonnas]

Leon Vynehall still exists?

Sway and Bloom were albums the snobby poptimist indie gays liked a lot but I couldn't see much in them.  Not that they were terrible though, they had moments of greatness but as a whole eh.

Why isn't Say My Name  a standout for Sway? 

[Vilppu]

if i didn't know troye's album, i'd probably think it's about 3 times better than it really is based on the description. great way with words

 

styrke fell hard with this album for me and i didn't even care that much for her debut to begin with

[Tom Vercetti]

I wasn't into Leon's take on Ambient House in an album format and I liked Midnight on Rainbow Road. 

Blush > anything from his new album. 

 

The bloom highlights looks accurate.

At low this year:

[Tsareena]

the 1975 did that huh?
whew Caution.. an album
Natalie Prass  

 

still think one more is like Yaeji's best song ff
whew boys a bop
omg Kelsey Lu... I just got into her 
yas thank u next  

 

ooh sway.. Tove did that, Bloom  
Chelsea Jade being so low omg

[Maddox]

I'm still on a high from Kelsey Lu's EP, so i was a little indifferent to her new music (which i still find it ok for the most part)

 

KKB and Thank You, Next  

[Pink Matter]

Low was cute. I also have a snaking feeling Bloom wasn't all that the way people are describing it but I'll certainly give him a chance.

[fossora]

35-31 (except 34) on songs

Low on albums

[Lazuli]

Sway and Bloom are pop perfection  

Low  

[TheWayWeWere]

Caution is indeed a big surprise  very impressed by this album

Sway is full of pop perfection  

[-mUsIcLoVeR-]

Troye, Mariah, and The 1975  

[madonnas]

I only like chelsea on the new update.  Bloom is cute too tho it's just all the best songs were pre-release. 

 

I never heard of Low before this year, was there drama?

 

[Kevin2803]

thank u, next 

[Uncatena]

Best Songs

 

 

The best song her EP, it just hits all the right notes and cuts

right to the heart. The chorus is so insanely catchy too.

 

 

Mike absolutely transformed this song (originally by Bobby Darin)

and the lyrics have a heartbreaking tone in the context of his

delivery.

 

 

The queer bop about love we all needed and deserve. The

chorus get's me every damn time.

 

 

The queer bop about love we all needed and deserve. The

chorus get's me every damn time. [2]

The lyrics about giving someone you love time to care

about themselves first and foremost are so beautiful.

 

 

Nu-metal pop is back, thanks Grimes. 

 

 

A gorgeous, dreamy pop song with leftfield production and

insane vocal delivery.

 

 

 

 

Only Florence could write a song like THIS after being ghosted/

left on read. The drama it has, the overreaction this has, the

power this has.

 

 

 

 

 

[Uncatena]

 

hope y'all had a nice xmas 

lets get this over with

I see four snaps and Leon Vynehall  jk idk him one of these deserves to be higher

The highlights for Sway are spot on and I'd only change MMM for TGS in Bloom's picks 

Low probably would have been higher if i had spent more time with it 

The Good Side follows closely to that top 3

Wow, loving your write-ups, very accurate and detailed  Surprised at Chelsea being there, I thought it would be in your top 10, but we stan her & Tove. Quick lil' pop albums snapped. Bloom is like the gay version of Teenage Dream (title track). Ugh, wig at this list slay A LOT sis. This is me singing along to My My My btw:

 

thanks, we love an intellectual huh 

Chelsea snapped but she can deliver even better than this, plus what follows is all better so yeah. she still won.

i never noticed but Bloom does serve Teenage Dream

 

that ****ing gif

I was expecting way more from yaeji than One More after those EPs tbqh. That Westerman sing is really nice, no clue who that is, but maybe I should get to know ha. Lizzo, KKB and Ariana made some points, oh yes, they did! Haven't listened to Low prior to Double Negative either, now I also know that Christmas EP, but that's it  Multiple points have been made with that album, though 

Westerman is great, he has two EP's (or maybe three) and a couple of singles. Really nice, mellow sophisti-pop. Confirmation is his best song so far tho.

well, i agree but another album like Rojus or Uninvited wouldn't have really surprised me or worked for me, and this did

KKB and Thank You, Next  

i honestly think the two singles she released this year are better than her EP, but its mostly because i prefer a more straightforward style

Low on albums

maybe I snapped

[Lazuli]

Sleep, My My My!, We Appreciate Talent, Big God, After the Storm  

This gif tho  

[theblackestday]

Sleep  I love how the general consensus has lowkey become that it's the best song on the EP (although they're all perfect)

 

We Appreciate Power kinda aged but she still made several points

 

Those reactions @ Hobby Horse is me throughout her whole album

 

Lotus and Big God  

[Vilppu]

not for me was amazing, deserved more plays from me. lotus, we appreciate power and mmm slap too

 

also yes that was definitely a compliment x

Edited December 27, 2018 by Vilppu

[madonnas]

Sleep is the best though S&S and Try come so so so close.

After the Storm, WAP, Big God, MMM, etc.  This set knocks.

 

[Tom Vercetti]

sleep, wap, lotus, after the storm  

the gazelle twin descript 

[World Eater]

My My My! is a cute gal, but it feels a little too lifeless imo 

Not for Me, WAP, Big God and Lotus, yes, we stan

The best song her EP

But now we said it

[Tsareena]

 we stanning this update

sleep, my my my, we appreciate power, big god, after thr storm, keep it out

[potent]

My My My and Big God a slayage!

Need to hear more from Hatchie, I liked Sugar and Spice.

[-mUsIcLoVeR-]

My My My is my least favorite from the album ? Kali Uchis tho  

[volition]

Big God is soo dramatic and I love it for it, it is nice to see florence when she inhabits an instrumental that is slightly different from her usual stuff
