I can't recall how that specific remix of LA goes but I'm sure it's excellent with your taste.

 

Power and Midnight Sky too :clap3:

Don't know the LA remix, but the original is great :clap3:

Power :heart2:

Delete Forever is cute

Posted

the midnight sky and love again remix stanning :clap3:

i'm concerned with the love again remix here even tho i did not listen to club fn... love again is the best fn track, no way could a remix do it justice!!

midnight sky :clap3: power kinda restored my faith in ellie's talent after the stupid pop tracks, noisy sixteen and boring flux

delete forever :alexz: so different for grimes but it's so beautiful

I don't like Delete Forever, but the other 4 choices are FLAWLESS :jonny2:

the remix :rip: anyway the other 4 songs are quite great, power being my favorite :keir:

yeah what was with a&j's new single? hope its just one cute little sing in a different style because they finally evolved from carly synthpop to something different.  we need more attack of panics and joan of arcs first!!!

 

delete forever is prob the best single pick from the album but idk, i prefer idoru and darkseid 

It's cute and I'm afraid it's their new direction, I would love them to stay with synthpop, but I'm staying open minded!

The sample on Love Again is what MAKES the sing for me :shakeno:

Power and MS :clap3:

I feel like they could come up with their own strings riff that would be more fitting :keir:

I love the original Love Again (haven’t heard this remix)

Midnight Sky is amazing.

Delete Forever is my least fave from MA but maybe it could’ve grown on me but I gave up after around the 10th listen 

The remix is really good, but original is obviously as great.

I used to think that, but it really grew on me through the year!

Attack of Panic :date: Slow Dancing is good though!! Just a lot more chill than Ten Years/Sanctuary. Not liking Joan of Arc??? C'mon now

Power :smitten: Midnight Sky :worship: Oop at Dua's first entry being #24

I liked it a bit, but it simply doesn't connect with me like their synthpop bangers!

I checked Attack Of Panic. I like it when she says "Panic inside of me, down x5".

I love how intense the production is and the chorus attacks so quickly, just like the panic attacks the song is inspired by.

Miley has given one of the best releases of her career this year

Oh absolutely, her best!

Midnight Sky and Delete are my favorites here. I don’t remember what all the CFN remixes sound like, but like that there’s lots to sample around from

I think it's a really cool project and definitely overhated by atrl.

Attack of Panic is such a grower! Didn't liked it at first, but it stuck in my head for a while :jonny5: 

I love original Love Again more :fan:

Midnight Sky :jonny: 

Power :clap3: Ellie getting acclaim she deserves

Delete Forever :smitten2: one of my favorite Grimes songs EVER

It was honestly a way to sneak Love Again in my list without giving og FN too many entries :fan:

Yup, it's my favorite remix of the FN tracks for sure :jonny5:

All of these are amazing songs! The Horse Meat Disco Remix is pure perfection, it almost topped Physical as my favourite song of hers this year. :gaycat6:

Give it a try, just make sure you're listening to the full version and not DJ Mix by The Blessed Madonna :fan: 

I thought Flux was beautiful, very classic Ellie ballad :eek:

Thanks for all the comments :heart2: The haters of KPop can take a deep breath, cause it's the last batch of my list!

However if you are unfamiliar with Kpop I recommend checking out the #2 song as it's universally liked and very accessible for non-Kpop stans  :fan:

Final male entry on my K-Pop list well guessed by @Psycho :fan: 1BV is a second project by EXO subunit featuring Sehun and Chanyeol and definitely their best yet. While the album is quite cohesive and very enjoyable as a whole, the funky hip-hop title track is its biggest stand out. Boys sound great together and the little featuring by female artist MOON adds some flavor.

Before 2020 I never paid attention to GFRIEND and their first release of 2020, Labyrinth mini, was still low key trash. Everything shifted when they dropped the second project this year and its glorious title - Apple. Beautiful dance pop track so full of grace and little dose of nostalgia. Stunning comeback and by far their best so far (even though the album was rather disappointing).

Last of the 3 entries by YUKIKA and the most unique song on her fantastic album. She called it her first dark song and hopefully not last as it features her best production and beautiful, though sad lyrics. It was my #1 for the longest, but city-pop didn't really define my 2020 in K-pop so I decided to let more fundamental songs take over. Unlike on the main list where the winner was clear to me from the start, the top 3 of K-pop list is equally #1 for me.

SUNMI dropps one of my favorite K-pop songs third year in a row. It's exactly what I wanted from her after stunning WARNING mini and stand alone single Noir (we don't claim LALALAY), another flawless dance pop/disco tune. It's a crime that we still don't have an album, but I'm afraid I wouldn't survive a whole project of these.

K-POP SONG OF THE YEAR

And finally we reached the end, my Korean SOTY title goes to KPOP veterans Apink and their absolutely fantastic electronic slice of dance pop excellence. This song has everything I fall in love with so easily - beautiful melody, timeless feel, slick electronic production. It's also very catchy, euphoric yet nostalgic. They just keep going further withe very title and I really appreciate that, if only they worked a bit more on better b-sides.

Apple, Shade and Pprorpiam all classics :clap3:

Taemin, Kai > Sehun :gaycat6:

Apple, Pporappippam, Duhmdurum :clap3:

I don't remember that Yukika sing tbh :fan:

Posted

Ahhh, the absolute flavour! Not gonna lie, I was expecting these :fan: but I'm glad to see I guessed correctly. I need to check out Apink in detail.

Hold on, that apink song is a bop. Shade is really good too. Top 3 on that album. I liked Noir more than sunmi's recent song but the latter isn't bad either.

First Duallah entry, certainly of multiple :fan: Everyone knows I'm a huge CFN enthusiast especially if we judge the project as a full album of stand alone remixes instead of the DJ Mix curated by The Blessed Madonna which only works when listened in full at once. Love Again remix is an undeniable stand out of the project, extending the track to 5:32 allows it to blossom into full synthy disco madness. As much as I love the original version I was never too fond of the Your Woman sample. Horse Meat Disco Remix removes it therefore elevating the song to perfection.

Just like many other artists in 2020 Miley jumped on the retro trend and delivered one of her best songs and an absolute stand out of her great new album Plastic Hearts.

Power is her best single in a very long time. When Flux dropped I knew she still has that in her, it was the first song that gave me a solid flashback to her golden Halcyon days, but it was just a ballad and good old Ellie had her dynamic side too. Power brings it back perfectly. Subtle Be the One sample is also a very nice touch for my Dua stanning ass!

It took me a solid while to get the greatness of this track. It felt a bit lost on the album to me and the other, more aggressive stand outs overshadowed it, but after months the quarantine unfolded other side of Miss Anthropocene for me and Delete Forever became a highlight.

oh wow these are all classics :gaycat6:

Omgggg

 

dumhdurum is probably my kpop song of the year too :WAP:

 

i was going to clock you yesterday for it not showing up yet kssksks

Posted

Midnight Sky :clap3: I def prefer the original Love Again but the remix is nice, too :clap3:

Posted

I checked 1 Billion Views. It's cool that it also has an instrumental version in the album.

Posted

The taste! I wasn't a fan of EXO-SC's first mini album, but this release was quite good, def a standout from the year. Sunmi continues to release killer singles...we want the album though. :gaycatney2:Yukika and GFRIEND served too.

The Apink song at #1 is a bit unexpected but she does bop a fair bit. :fan:

Love Again always has been one of my favorites from Future Nostalgia since the first listen

 

Midnight Sky is a masterpiece and one of Miley's best songs

Posted

3 of these are in my top 20 :jonny5: stunning top 2 especially, don't mind either of them at #1 :clap3:

v excited to hear more from Sunmi and Apink next year :duca: Apple was such a SWITCH for them, thank god :WAP:

1 Billion Views and Shade obviously amazing as well :smitten: Love to see Fairy Of Shampoo so high on the list as well :heart: best song ever

Lalalalilala the only song in the top 10 I'm not obsessed with, it's nice tho :-* La Di Da was always good but I love it sm now :katie2:

 

Can't remember if Love Again was one of the decent remixes but I won't be listening to find out :fan:

Power by far my fave from the Western batch but I like all the others as well :jamming: didn't you PAN Delete Forever at first :keir:

Posted

sunmi delivered yes :clap3: 

dumhdurum :jonny5: it really is one of the best kpop songs this year. really can’t believe a group that’s been together for so long is still serving THIS level of quality
