best of Obscene 2020│Albums & Songs #6-4

[Bubble Tea]

Ok I'm seeing A LOT of taste in here!

 

In less excellent topics I have seen SLANDER for some of these but not here. Woo!

 

Smile is a really solid pop album - NO it's not filled with ground-breaking, boundary-pressing, genre-bending SLAMS but it is fun and cute and it's what we love from Katy - cute bops that make us feel good. 

 

Folklore is cute but I've yet to truly delve into it. 

 

Cape God is excellence obvi. Allie X queen.

 

"Rain on Me" completely and truly is the anthem of the year. I was in a club last weekend (I'm in NZ, no community cases of covid so no judging - we're fine lol) and it was my first time dancing to "Rain on Me" and the way everyone jumped in unison for the chorus. Holy shizz.

Rain On Me 

[Mr. Loco]

Smile was a huge dissapointment, even Witness worked better for me tbh

 

I loved folklore, it has some really beautiful songs, but it bored me fast tho

[Bubble Tea]

Perched for the update.

Alright I'm back #6-4 albums & songs (maybe) coming at you 

[Verge of Obscene]

 

This album feels instantly timeless. Like a mature Future Nostalgia, with stronger disco roots.

Standouts: Spotlight, What's Your Pleasure, The Kill

The heart of the city: On fire

[Verge of Obscene]

 

Did not expect an Ellie album to be in my Top 10, especially with a loaded 18 tracks. I see BB like a story of love lost, then love found in oneself, then her new bad bitch EG.0 on disc 2. I'm sure she was obligated to throw the radio hits on the album, so why not tack them on the b-side. It doesn't bring the original album down in quality and the fans get their way Tides is pretty bad tho

Standouts: Brightest Blue, Flux, Love I'm Given

Bleach you like: A bone in the brook

[Verge of Obscene]

 

Give JoJo her goddamn flowers  This album, and even the deluxe edition (kinda) deliver such a good blend of r&b and pop, reminiscent of Tinashe's Songs for You. If you're reading this, show some respect and give her a stream.

Standouts: So Bad, Don't Talk Me Down, Think About You

I need a: fuckin man, someone to want me like a fan, somebody who can love me like I love me, love me like I can

What's Your Pleasure

 

I love BB too but idk how much I feel like it was a better album than WYP? 

[Verge of Obscene]

 

Any song that sounds like something you'd hear at the end of a coming of age movie in the early 2000's is worthy of being in my top 10.

"Everything I thought I wanted/I changed my mind and/I forgot it all"

 

 

[Verge of Obscene]

 

The amount of times I have played this song and thrown myself around my apartment like I was lip syncing on Drag Race...chile. No song on Future Nostalgia can outperform it, right? 

"I had a premonition/that we fell into a rhythm/Where the music don't stop for life"

 

 

[Verge of Obscene]

 

I like the album, and I think the production is stellar, but as a whole, he keeps singing about the same shit and it's overhyped  This song however is the best song in The Weeknd's discography. The lyricism, the beat change, the production, all 10/10. 6+ minutes worth of robbed grammys

"Put myself to sleep/Just so I can/Get closer to you/Inside my dreams"
