a written testimony and the james blake ep

 

i saw many people getting disappointed w/ jay electronica. i can't say i followed him for years like a lot of fans so i didn't know what to expect but i really liked it.

before was a great follow up to assume form (which i loved), many new sounds that he explored successfully

Same. I didn’t follow him before so I had no expectations. Loved the album since day1. 
James Blake is blessing us with a cover EP, dropping tonight  

he’s actually my 4th most listened artist of 2020 (NO ALBUM OUT  )

RTJ4 being in the lower end of the list  RTJ3 remains unbothered but 4 is amazing. 

 

Excited for top 10

afters hours is decent - FN being low is a choice

I love FN but the last 2 songs I always skip and that brings it down. After Hours, I can listen without skipping and I think AF has higher highs.

30. LP5 by John Moreland (Folk)

His melodies are so beautiful and melancholic. I also loved the little bit of Country influence on certain songs. I love Country but in very small doses.

 

29. Every Bad by Porridge Radio (Indie Rock)

Catchy, Anthemic and Lesbian. What else can you ask for?

 

28. A Written Testimony by Jay Electronica (HipHop)

This album just keeps getting better after every listen and the production is stunning. 

 

27. Otherliine by Otherliine, George FitzGerald & Lil Silva (Pop, Dance)

I loved this project. Fun and light. 

 

26. You Know I’m Not Going Anywhere by The Districts (Alternative) 

Love this vibe, the production is amazing and Dancer is a tune that Ive been obsessed with all year long.

 

25. B4 I Breakdown by Ojerime (R&B) 

Easily one of the most promising R&B artists out there. Her style is very unique, reminiscent of the amazing 90s R&B with a modern, almost Rock edge. The whole album is very impressive.

 

24. Before EP + loosies by James Blake (Glitch Pop)

The EP of the year imo. Not only that, everything he has released this year has been absolutely outstanding. James has the midas touch. 

 

23. Roisin Machine by Roisin Murphy (Disco, Pop)

The sexiest Disco tinged album of the year. It also has more of an Electronic flair than her sisters, which is an added bonus for me.

 

22. After Hours by The Weeknd (Pop, R&B)

The album seems to have 2 personalities, an 80s influenced Pop side and a dark and cinematic R&B side. Miraculously they worked pretty well together. 

 

21. Motherhood by No Joy (Shoegaze, Dream Pop)

The songs are very easy to get lost into despite their chaotic energy at times. Layers!

Let me listen to Otherliine, I've listened and liked some George songs in the past so I'm excited to hear more.

 

And obviously queen Roisin deserves all the praise  

[Sunderland 4ever]

Mordechai is THE best choice to start your Top 50. I have played it so much this year. It was the first LP I heard from them, but I do remember checking out some previous material from them, their EP Texas Sun.

 

Other albums I recognize are numbers 49, 45 and 42. I think the latest Bad Bunny record was his best album of the year.

[Sunderland 4ever]

I recognize albums 29, 23 and 22. No Joy belongs to two of my favorite genres, although I must say that I'm not a big fan of noisy shoegaze such as MBV. I'm more into the Slowdive quieter style. That being said, I'm surprised I haven't checked out that LP.

 

Top 20, bring it on!

[Psycho]

Abel

I've heard Murphy's Law but didn't give the album a listen

[Delta]

Nice to see Roisin Machine. Too bad I started listening to it too late in the game on my lists

[Bubble Tea]

The Weeknd is cute but.... I think we have very different music tastes.

RTJ, Dua, and Christine SO low!! Explain! 

[madonnas]

Motherhood is such a good album. Synth pop + shoegaze

 

i just got into porridge radio.  I like how it’s fun post punk.  That’s rare nowadays.  
 

 

and roisin is also too low for me but she still hit the halfway mark.  Every single song blends with the album, even the eight year Old ones 

[TRF.]

Ojerime is such a good singer

[Mezik]

After Hours  

 

I think the one place it suffers is, outside the singles - it can be a bit boring/slow? I enjoyed it the first few listens, but now I find I can only really listen to the singles. I love the cohesiveness and quality of the end product though - it's absolutely fantastic in the small details.

[K$Ellie]

LP5? the twigs rip off

Roisin Machcine kinda aged for me but I'm gonna try to get back into it this week  Jealousy and Murphy's Law are BOPS

After Hours was a solid effort, way too long with the deluxe but one of his better albums

I think Whole New Mess production suits her best. Besides Lark, All Mirrors had zero replay value

PLESE delete this

[Mr. Loco]

After hours & Future nostalgia are both great!! Bringing back the best of the 80s sound, love them! 

[Legend E]

after hours taste  

[Tom Vercetti]

Only familiar with 2 of the albums from the 30--21 batch. 

Agree on The Weeknd take. 

[Ewan Chaos]

Screaming at the Porridge Radio description. Honestly, you're right! Roisin Murphy's album, ****ing flawless. The Weeknd's album, really really good too!

 

Let me check out LP5, Otherliine, and Motherhood based on your descriptions  

[potent]

I only know After Hours this time

a little bit long/repetitive at times but definitely had some great songs

Porridge Radio sounds kinda interesting!

[BlackoutZone]

Roisin  However it feels more like a late evening romantic dinner and WYP leads the sexual after hours, but I love both albums!

After Hours was too mild for me at parts, love the stand outs, but there was not much left to appreciate among the album tracks (especially if you add the deluxe, the record gets lengthy and for what)

[Lazuli]

I liked some of the Porridge Radio songs but I couldn't really get into the album as a whole

Roisin and Weeknd  

[taemin]

first time seeing King Krule on a best of 2020 list 

I liked Against All Logic's sophomore album but it didn't meet the high standards of the debut for me

I haven’t had time to listen to the new Bad Bunny besides the singles. Im excited to hear he only got better

Thats what makes the world fun

but I do love the albums and artists in your countdown. They are just low on my list

Tough competition. But I love every album in my countdown. They are all 8s, 9s or 10/10

You are absolutely right about Porridge Radio. Post Punk is becoming unbearable and overrated, but Every Bad delivered.

Yeah I can see that. Blinding Lights got old for me because I was playing it non stop when it came out. The title track is actually my favorite song from the album.

Porridge Radio is great but you kinda hard to grasp. But it’s very catchy once you approach it with an open mind. Check them out!

I dont use After Hours deluxe. So unnecessary

Porridge Radio have a lot of potential. This was amazing for a debut. I hope they keep their momentum going
