Doesn’t Matter is kinda of perfection. They really snapped. 

Euphorize was cute but forgettable.

Posted

Those Duck Duck Goose lyrics :skull: a cackle tbh

Doesn't Matter is a bop (a big one as the kids say these days) and I use Being Alive :clap3: 

Let me give that Vince track a spin while I'm at it :eek: 

Posted

I love cupcakKe, but don't really get the Duck Duck Goose stanning. Quiz is her best song this year (assuming Cartoons was released last year)

 

A.A.L. and Frankie fads

 

Interesting choice @ Vince, it's kinda forgotten now but I love(d) it too. There's multiple songs on FM! that I prefer though

will have to check Rave on U

 

GTFOMD was one of my top songs up until Feb and I dropped it. It's just so bland for Vince.

Doesn't matter is one of my favorites from Chris album :jonny: she snapped that year :alexz:

LOVE Doesn't Matter & I will ignore the shade on the rest of ha album!

Duck Duck Goose :bibliahh: a classic

Being Alive is cute, not my favourite on Vessel though

 

Doesn’t matter :clap3: a pop classic

45. Janelle Monáe - "Make Me Feel"

From: Dirty Computer

 

uV3iACY.jpgin the years since 2013’s The Electric Lady, Janelle’s profile rose astronomically as she shined in roles in acclaimed films such as Moonlight. She’d become regarded as something of a criminally-underrated genius, so there was a lot riding on her comeback. Nonetheless, she delivered one of the best lead singles of 2018 with an excellent bisexual lighting-drenched video to match.. This is probably Janelle’s most straightforward pop song but it still carries her unique edge. See also: "Don't Judge Me"

44. Pusha T feat. Rick Ross - "Hard Piano"

From: Daytona

 

w5Babfj.jpgYou could argue that any one of Daytona’s seven tracks deserved a spot here, but there’s something about Hard Piano that always keeps me on the edge of my seat. Both Pusha and Rick Ross deliver here and the hook, while being pretty low key, gets the job done for me. Kanye snapped with the production yes he did, make pianos great again king! See also: "Santeria"; "Infrared"

43. Jorja Smith - "On Your Own" 

From: Lost and Found


z0eAOXA.jpgI feel like Jorja gets written-off as kind of a boring middle-of-the-road artist, but her album was just left-field enough to keep me interested, with some nice artistic choices that I liked. There are some really inspired production touches on this track: the thick, trip-hop-esque drums, the siren-noises that punctuate the verses, it all conjures up this ominous atmosphere which is reflected in Jorja's lyrics about being done with this man. See also: "The One"; "Wandering Romance"

 

 

4Qc7pcB.pngOVkay2E.png

 

 

 

42. LIZ - "Could U Love Me" 

From: N/A

 

bX3P0Ik.jpgPerpetually in no-album limbo (much like many PC-affiliates), LIZ released several singles this year, to varying degrees of success. The best of them was Could U Love Me, a delectable slice of midtempo pop that wears its influence of turn of the century R&B on its sleeve without sounding at all reductive.

 

See also: SOPHIE feat. LIZ - "Sunscreen"

41. Wednesday Campanella - "The Bamboo Princess"

From: Galapagos

 

3lmBmsM.jpg

I already talked about how this is such a successful.mp3 opener in my write-up for Galapagos earlier. The Bamboo Princess takes electronics and combines them with Instrumentation such as horns, stings and woodblocks to build a quiet / loud dynamic between the verses and chorus. In lesser hands you would end up with… a clean bandit single, but the song’s loose, flowing structure keeps it from sounding cliché.

 

See also: "The Sand Castle" ; "A Cat Called Yellow"

Gonna maybe do five more this eve, and I'll comment on everyone else's also. Also Ariana's new song is kind of disappointing y'all I was rooting for her ?

Rave On U has some points. Wasn't that into A.A.L honestly, but i'm still anticipating another album from Jaar himself though. 

 

I heard GTFOMD maybe once or twice and it sounded just like a standalone. Doesn't Matter is the standout, yes.

I've only heard Sirens myself, but it's good. Three Sides of Nazareth... that was a classic.

i thought i came but i peed on the dick... would say modern shakespeare but why downgrade cupcakke like that

 

didn't care for gtfomd when it dropped but it popped off live, feeling her now

I love the D, that's my favourite letter has more hidden meanings than any shakespear sonnet!

GTFOMD is what you call anthem. 

An underrated one too it would seem :shakeno:

Duck Duck Goose was a bop but overall the album had a biT of filler resize.png

Get The **** Off My Dick wasn't it :shakeno: haven't heard his new album/mixtape tbh :thing:

There are a couple of fillers but compared to some other female rap albums this year... :-* 

You're not missing out imo but some here like it and it's only 20 minutes so it can't do any harm to listen to it.

Duck Duck Goose/Quiz slay. 

 

Glad she polished her beats up this year. 

She made several points with Quiz's production.

We stan because its an immaculately-produced bop with dozens of quotables, what's not to love? Quiz slaps too though.

I don't disagree resize.png

It's no more bland than FM! imo.

MMF :clap3: yeah, one of the best leads in recent years along with flawless vid :jonny5: 

just listened to The Bamboo Princess recently, it's great :clap3: 

Posted

My fave set so far! MMF has been that bop since like April or whenever it got released. :clap3: 

Hard Piano would not be my first choice off Daytona but it's still a good one. I much prefer the recommended songs lol

Same goes for On Your Own but I still like a lot.

And The Bamboo Princess is a SERVE. What a way to start off an album! Deserved to be higher though :'( 

 

I also checked GTFOMD. It's okay. I much prefer the FM! songs to it so it's position as apt.

Posted

Make Me Feel is obviously excellent. A bit overrated so I’m glad it’s not high in your list :mandown: 

Jorja, her album bored me. So I can’t remember how any of it sounds

The only LIZ I liked this year was Pandemonium and even then its underwhelming.  Poor girl will never match WIRTW!

 

 

Make Me Feel is great, but there are a few moments on the album that are just better. 

Posted

Hard Piano, The Bamboo Princess :heart2:

 

I don't really see anything remotely 'left-field' about Lost and Found, and the "boring middle-of-the-road artist" comments are kinda valid, but I still liked the album and On Your Own is one of my faves too

 

Make Me Feel... great gowns, beautiful gowns

Posted

Glad that everyone agrees that Duck Duck  Goose is a career highlight (with Deepthroat obviously still being her best). GTFOMD unfortunately wasn't my thing and neither was FM! so I guess I'll just wait for Vince's next effort :thing: Doesn't Matter, Hard Piano and The Bamboo Princess are all CLASSICS :heart2:

Posted

Your Daytona highlights are unique. 

 

I like MMF but I feel the album has better~

Bamboo Princess is solid and Jorja is still boring x. 

Posted

I don't really blame you for not connecting with One Kiss. Not exactly the most exciting song. Lol

 

Need to listen to Cupcakke, Vince and Janelle. 

Posted

Make Me Feel and Doesn't Matter are excellent songs from 2 of the best albums this year :clap3:

Posted

lemme check out Wednesday, I've seen her on so many lists :jonny5: 

Posted

Georgia Smith is still a snooze but I like your picks overall. 

Posted

omg too much taste to respond to but lemme just say that Doesn't matter is THAT bitch.

 

i love most of your choices so much, the taste that was exhibited was iconic like. the legend leapT out. 

 

:jonny5:

Posted

Make Me Feel is okay, I guess. :michael: 

Posted

rave on u :clap3: i thought a.a.l.'s album was pretty good tho not amazing

hard piano is a nice choice too!
