I'm not a fan of Poppy's vocals, but Diplo did that with the production of Time Is Up!

Oooh yes Bloom here :clap3: My My My was better though imo!

 

I have to listen to that song featuring Kacey Musgraves, I really loved her album this year.

The song isn't really country but Kacey fits will in it.

Surprised at Charcoal Baby being so low :eek: . Can always count on surprises from you :duck: 

Cops Shot The Kid was also one of the few songs that stood out in a good way to me too. 

Headstone is a knock. Great homage to hip-hop's classics :clap3: 

Gotta keep folks on the toes. Agree on the rest.

Yeah, CSTK was pretty much the only memorable song from Nasir, even though I didn't think the album is as bad as everyone else did

 

Catch It is the best song here

It's more forgettable than bad.

Glad that Bloom got recognition from you :clap3: Bottom version of Teenage Dream.  Charcoal Baby was such a good single, I hoped that album would sound like that and Jewelery.

Blood Orange leading us all on like that :shakeno:

An improvement!  Isn't it fascinating how our listening worlds are completely different.

There's a lot of bleeps and bloops this set~

140. Westerman - Confirmation (Indietronica/Dream Pop)

 

Image result for westerman confirmation

 

I've seen some Arthur Russel comparisons with this song and I can see it. There's an aura about it that I adore. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

139. Choker - Daisy (Alternative R&B/Art Pop)

 

7095237

 

The endless amount of Frank Ocean comparisons Choker was receiving made me check his album out and boy were they accurate.

My pick from him was the closer, Daisy, which sounds like it could be a B-side to Blonde. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

138. MorMor - Heaven's Only Wishful (Indie Pop/Synthpop)

 

Image result for mormor heaven's only wishful

 

MorMor's smooth breakout song. When I heard it early in the year I thought he was going somewhere. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

137. Objekt - 35 (IDM/UK Bass)

 

Image result for objekt cocoon crush

 

Moments of this song reminds me of Radiohead's Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

136. Pristin V - Get It (K-Pop/Electropop)

 

Image result for pristin v get it

 

 

Out of the two singles they released simultaneously, Get It had the hit factor. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

135. RP Boo - U Don't No (Footwork/Juke)

 

Image result for rp boo i'll tell you what

 

Footwork is a genre that i'm not yet experienced with, however RP BOO who is generally revered in the genre is advanced at taking vocal samples and mixing it so well with the beat. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

134. Natalie Prass - Short Court Style (Sophisti-Pop/Pop Soul)

 

Image result for natalie prass short court style

 

I'm not really into her music that much but Short Court Style was surprisingly melodious. It's a good thing she made this her lead single. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

133. Kraus - Bum (Shoegaze/Noise Pop)

 

Image result for kraus bum

 

*Listens to My Bloody Valentine once*

132. Topdown Dialetic - B4 (Dub Techno/Minimal Techno)

131. Abul Mogard - Upon The Smallish Circulation (Ambient)

11 minutes of floating cloud sound.

130. Vorso - The Imperative (Drum and Bass)

The drops and aggressiveness :jamming: 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

129. Empress Of - Everything To Me (Electropop/Synthpop)

 

Image result for empress of us

 

When I'm With Him may be the popular choice but Everything To Me is the most appealing one for me production wise. Dev Hyne's backing vocals are also a nice touch.

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

128. J.I.D - 151 Rum (Trap Rap/Hardcore Hip Hop)

 

Image result for j.i.d 151 rum

 

Honestly he has one of the better flows in the new gen. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

127. Richard Devine - Astra (IDM/Glitch)

 

Image result for richard devine sort lave

 

If current Autechre had some form of glitchy melody. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

126. Paolo Di Nicolantonio - Close To Me (Deep House)

 

Image result for Paolo Di Nicolantonio - Close To Me

 

A hidden house gem. The only song with this particular title worth noticing this year.

I tried Empress Of, but didn't like her album too much besides few tracks

Posted

Haven't heard of Choker but that artwork is blatantly Frank Ocean'd so can't say I'm surprised.

 

Natalie Prass is annoyingly bland to me even though her album wasn't bad from what I recall of my one listen of it.

 

Had that Abul Mogard album saved in my library for a few good months but never got around to it :rip: I've kinda given up at this point.

I expected more from her. But I haven’t given up on her yet. She needs to come back stronger next album

I'm honestly not familiar with these, but Empress Of sounds interesting, I've seen her getting a lot of acclaim lately.

Yeah it's a dud for me too. Her debut album had more personality.

Almost everything about him is frank'lite. From the production to the small vocal pitches. Natalie's last album bored me but she got slightly more uptempo. Tbh. abul's album isn't really essential.

Objekt's album was fine. Nothing outstanding. Empress has more shots.

Her album isn't really getting acclaim but some of her singles are around here. Try her debut album first.

mess even the songs i know here were from albums i didn't listen to :-x but i won't waste the opportunity to check them out

Posted

Empress Of doesn't stick for me, not sure why. I'll check out the ones I don't know tho, here for bleep bloop music.

Posted

Yeah when I saw the Frank O comparisons I was shocked at how accurate they were :rip: really makes it hard to listen to him (or at least that respective album). Daisy is cute but there was another song on the album that stuck out to me more since it was one of the few that didn't sound so much like Frank lol

Heaven's Only Wishful was smooth, agree there! A great intro track to his EP.

Short Court Style was a major bop :clap3: (though I chose a different song for my countdown).
