potent Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 No big losses here, but Summer Girl, Walk Me Home, and Stay with Me are pretty good. Emeli was so forgettable this year Alanis so many times, a slayage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWayWeWere Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) TOP 50 IS OPEN NOW album #50 - Sophie Ellis-Bextor, The Song Diaries "You gave life to a useless wandering body" Well, I'm not a stan of Sophie, but she used to release so many bops during the 00s and early 10s, so I always catch up with her new music. For many years already she making some pop-folk-disco efforts on her last two albums and tbh - it's one of her best works ever. This release is not a new album, it's a compilation - reimagination of her hits and some album cuts with an orchestra. I loved Kylie's Abbey Road Sessions. But this one felt...Idk, kinda bland and boring, songs are not old enough and didn't really need that orchestra versions. A nice gift was a classic Sophie song like Love Is You on this. some favorites: Love Is You, A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed single #50 - Sigrid, Don't Feel Like Crying "I dry my eyes 'cause I don't feel like crying" Sigrid, you're a cute gal, but kicking off your first album era with this issa choice I mean, it's a grower, but still not even top 5 on the album. Video not doing any favor this song too album #49 - Skylar Grey, Angel with Tattoos "You stole the light from every star up in the sky" I love Skylar, she is one of the most talented living songwriters. But this project just felt like such a lackluster. I mean, that idea - living album, adding songs through the era - we already saw how it turns for Kanye or Demi. It's just doesn't work. It would've been much better if she works a little more and released entire album. I mean songs itself are pretty good, I really love Fleetwood Mac influence on this. some favorites: Angel with Tattoos, Do You Remember, Ain't Nobody single #49 - Rudimental ft. RAY BLK & Stefflon Don, Scared of Love "You played with fire, you got burned" You know, Ray is one of my favorite voices of the British music industry right now, and she is so ****ing underrated, last year she released amazing EP. This year she fails to deliver some solo music, even tho Action bops. But this collab is perfectly constructed bop with a very light message and catchy tune. Along with nice MV this song was in my playlist for a long time earlier this year. album #48 - Aly & AJ, Sanctuary - EP "For all the times I can't reverse, for all the places where it hurts, I need a little church" Whew, girls slays with this one Ten Years was a nice comeback, but this EP is the sound they should use on the album. Pretty consistent EP full of euphoric pop songs with beautiful harmonies here and there. some favorites: Sanctuary, Star Maps, Church single #49 - single #48 - FKA twigs ft. Future, holy terrain "Do you still think I'm beautiful when you light me in flames?" Probably the weakest single off Magdalene, but even this SNAPS. It's such an experience to listen to this along with music video. Edited December 7, 2019 by TheWayWeWere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackoutZone Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Sanctuary EP is flawless, if Ten Years Deluxe got marched with Sanctuary it would be a solid album But I really can’t believe you enjoyed this lazy orchestral album, I’ve been hyped so much for this project since it would absolutely slay if executed well, sadly it falls flat and feels so boring. The orchestration is so simple, basic, her vocals are soulless. Not a fan... Her last 2 folk albums were actually decent once you get into them, especially since Familia still had a few classic disco Sophie moments like Wild Forever or this classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remmy Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Yup I'm ready for the serve as usual! Recurrents: Pop 2 ASIB, Blackout, ironic, You Oughta Know, Perfect Places, Marry the Night, Perfect Illusion, Shallow || Bubbling Under Singles: Walk Me Home Oop at 2 Tove songs not making it. I Remember and Stay with Me deserved sooo much better Don't Feel Like Crying I agree that there's better on the album though, it definitely didn't need to be a single. Skylar being on here reminds me that I need to add her to my EP list because apparently we're not getting a tracklist update this year... the music is great but yeah, how she put it out is so frustrating. Sanctuary only at FOURTY-NINE????????? A CRIME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestfiction Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Sophie's orcherstral album was quite a dud, I wanted to give it a shot but oh well x she better serve some disco or indie pop bops instead Sigrid's sing is quite cute Holy Terrain is good but I kinda get the polarizing reception I like it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K$Ellie Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Kinda tea @ Sigrid, her album was v mediocre but there were deff better songs (Never Mine, Mine Right Now) even if DFLC is cute holy terrain is a bop bop, it just missed my list cause it's like my second least fave on the album but still a massive banger Not huge on Aly & AJ tbh they seem to keep releasing the same tired synthpop song over and over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWayWeWere Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 thanks for comments sistrens album #47 - Julia Michaels, Inner Monologue Part 2 "Can we stay in this dream like we are 17?" Julia is kinda hated here, but I still find her music/songwriting pretty nice and catchy, but too bad she still can't find her place in the music industry as for now. I mean, if we compile her best songs out of 3 EPs it would've been an amazing pop record. But.. as for now just project with couple pop jams and some fillers out there. I still have faith in you, Julia sis some favorites: Hurt Again, 17, Body single #47 - Mark Ronson & Lykke Li, Late Night Feelings "You take the sane in me and tear it like a page" You know, sometimes two artists can create magic and you just can't deny it. Lykke Li going pop disco direction on this song and it feels so right. I can't imagine anyone else on this track. Beautifully written, produced and filmed (thanks to MV) track that makes that spring warmer album #46 - Avril Lavigne, Head Above Water "Tell me it's over if it's really over" - yep, it is, Avril Welp, even tho Avril already served pretty bad album earlier this decade with self-titled, she was still able to deliver some cute songs. With this one, her christian-but-not-really-christian-pop album, she finds new low for herself I mean, it's so bland and boring, like bish doesn't even try with this. The title track was cute like for a minute, but everything else including songwriting, visuals, sound - fell flat. Dumb Blonde is probably the worst thing I heard this year. some favorites: Head Above Water, Tell Me It's Over, Bigger Wow single #46 - Sofia Reyes ft. Rita Ora & Anitta, R.I.P. "R.I.P. to the bull****" Nothing much to say about it. It's a major latin bop, fashion mogul Rita Ora snaps once again album #45 - Beyonce, The Lion King: The Gift "Let love be the water, I pour into you and you pour into me" A little bit rough year for Bey I'm always here for her new music, but this project just..not connects with me. And I'm talking about both movie and that album itself. Yeah, some nice african-influenced bops here and there, beautiful ballads - but always still feels a little bit uninspired. some favorites: Spirit, Water, Find Your Way Back single #45 - BANKS ft. Francis and the Lights, Look What You're Doing To Me "Why did you sell me on that thing you do?" Not my favorite from III, but this is still a bop. I love how Banks and Francis voices sound together, even tho song itself drags on for too long tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
