Not gonna lie, I was expecting these but I'm glad to see I guessed correctly. I need to check out Apink in detail. You have to, cause it's stunning 23 hours ago, Tom Vercetti said: 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. It really is huh. I also consider Noir a bit better, but she is still on the right track so I don't complain. 23 hours ago, dangerousalex said: oh wow these are all classics Period 22 hours ago, TheWayWeWere said: thankfully Well it's OVER now 22 hours ago, Janet said: Omgggg dumhdurum is probably my kpop song of the year too i was going to clock you yesterday for it not showing up yet kssksks It was silently climbing to my #1 spot in these past months, I honestly didn't thought of it as a SOTY contender the first time I heard it at all 22 hours ago, ARTPØP said: Midnight Sky I def prefer the original Love Again but the remix is nice, too Glad you appreciate it too 19 hours ago, Sunderland 4ever said: I checked 1 Billion Views. It's cool that it also has an instrumental version in the album. Instrumental releases in Kpop are nearly a standard nowadays, wish western markets would follow. I love listening to some and discovering hidden layers hidden behind the vocals. 19 hours ago, 1998tweety said: 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. Yukika and GFRIEND served too. The Apink song at #1 is a bit unexpected but she does bop a fair bit. The more you listen the harder it hits, honestly it was an unexpected #1 for me too 19 hours ago, Legend E said: k v cute let's move on yup yup RUDE. 18 hours ago, Green said: 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 Agree 17 hours ago, K$Ellie said: 3 of these are in my top 20 stunning top 2 especially, don't mind either of them at #1 v excited to hear more from Sunmi and Apink next year Apple was such a SWITCH for them, thank god 1 Billion Views and Shade obviously amazing as well Love to see Fairy Of Shampoo so high on the list as well 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 Can't remember if Love Again was one of the decent remixes but I won't be listening to find out Power by far my fave from the Western batch but I like all the others as well didn't you PAN Delete Forever at first Sunmi really has to deliver an actual album in 2021, there is just no way... Lalalilala very underrated overall and I'm not sure why, it's such a spacey banger! Oh I sure did ff it was my least favorite last year when the album leaked, but it aged better than some other tracks and just kept growing on me this year 6 hours ago, Lazuli said: sunmi delivered yes dumhdurum 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 Exactly like Especially since their past 3 titles are all amazing and better than their successful music years ago, really looking forward to their next releases. 3 hours ago, ikiru said: WOW!

BlackoutZone Posted December 14, 2020 Author Posted December 14, 2020 Really great EP from Christine and what a shame it's so short, but I guess that's a price of making an all-killer. People, I've Been Sad is notably a stand out on many year end lists and while I love it too the title track is my personal pick from the project. Graceful dance tune with amazing vocals by Caroline, not to mention the stunning visual which ranks among my favorite music videos of the year. I had no expectations going into Hayley's solo debut as I was never a Paramore fan, but Simmer turned out to be a very solid track with a completely different sound to what I thought she would bring. The 3-part album doesn't really have other songs as great and I don't listen to it in full at all since it lacks cohesion, but I come back to its stand outs once in a while. Worth noting that Caroline Polachek made an amazing remix of Simmer too. This is the ballad from Ellie I needed, she truly shines in slow, cinematic songs full of strings, harmonies and self reflective lyrics. No particular reason why, but this part of the first verse is one of my favorite lyrics of 2020: The nights with you were so disarming Taking all my weapons from me I found myself powerless with you Perhaps it's the way she sings it. Beautiful song. First of 2 Fiona entries on my list. I always knew I want to put Shameika and one other album track that is my personal favorite, cause Shameika is the track that invited me to discover this album. As someone who never listened to much of her music my first Fetch the Bolt Cutters listen was rather rough and bittersweet. I was ready to give up on Fiona and accept her music might be too unconventional for me, but Shameika said she has potential! So I gave it another chance and hell how glad I am I did Great album with multiple stand outs, but there always has to be the one closest to my heart and in Chloe x Halle case it's the title track. I've seen Do It and Forgive Me dominating many Best Of lists and they definitely are in my top 5, but Ungodly Hour is just enchanting, especially after the VMAs performance.
Enigmanotta Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 A strong selection, I love 4/5 of these!
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 14, 2020 ATRL Moderator Posted December 14, 2020 yes ungodly hour yes talent. shameika was gonna be on my list, but i had a change of heart and chose iwytlm instead which i do not regret. shameika is great tho you should b proud,. simmer is great, kinda reminds me of radiohead along w leave it alone. i agree with your christine pick, miss caroline is a girl of many talents.
Blue Rose Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Simmer, Shameika and Ungodly Hour. Love to see it
K$Ellie Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Ungodly Hour is one of my standouts but I prefer Do It, Forgive Me and Lonely so I'm glad you gave 2 of those a shoutout too Shameika is a big bop, it's been kinda stuck in my head recently and I randomly think of the chorus sometimes New Heights is a gorgist sing one of her best ballads. Christine's EP was v cute, Hayleigh sucks ASS tho x
Ewan Chaos Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Shade is such an interesting top pick for Yukika, but I like it a lot! La Vita Nuova is flawless. It and People I've Been Sad are interchangeable for me as Xtine's top pick. Simmer is great and leads perfectly into Leave It Alone, but for me those are more "fancy cheeses before the gourmet entree". Understand why you weren't as into Hayley's album though. Yeah we owe Shameika a lot. I can't decide if this or another FTBC song is my #1 pick (if you have that as your highest Fiona pick I'll scream), but it's so ****ing flawless and I'm glad it's the one she's pushing for stuff like Grammys, not that she'll get them. Ungodly Hour title track is EASILY the best from that album. I know people want trap bops by girlies so they can not have to listen to Posty or whatever, but UH is clearly better than Do It and just barely better than Forgive Me.
GreatestLoveofAll Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 I prefer Forgive Me and Tipsy off UH, but as you said its an all around excellent album so no flaws in no matter what you pick tbh.
Remmy Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 New Heights is in my Brightest Blue bottom 2 Simmer and Ungodly Hour ahh so good! Definitely some delicious food
Psycho Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Simmer cute, remix better New Heights is too boring, Woman > Ungodly Hour
luckystrike Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 not us having Simmer on the same exact spot kiiiiiii, the taste Ungodly Hour serve
KasioKas Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Midnight Sky and Ungodly Hour are both excellent!
potent Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Shameika FTBC was also the first Fiona album I listened to lol Simmer is cute, that might be a little high for it though imo New Heights is good although not one of my favorites La vita nuova is great
Sunderland 4ever Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Shameika is a grower. I liked it after a couple of listens! Probably the one I liked the most from the album.
geodancefreak Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 I haven't heard most of these, and I need to, cause I usually LOVE your taste.
Lazuli Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 caroline+christine is a MAJOR slay simmer, shameika, ungodly hour
TheWayWeWere Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 La vita nuova is ****ing banger Ungodly Hour is so godly New Heights is so beautifully written
