SLIME Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 14. Japanese Breakfast - Jubilee (indie pop, chamber pop) THESE ONES!: Paprika, Kokomo IN, Posing for Cars Carries a triumphant vibe even as it works through tough emotions. She's been consistent across her whole career under the JB name but I think this is her most fully-realized project yet. So proud of her for her success.

SLIME Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 13. Darkside - Spiral (neo-psychedelia, art rock) THESE ONES!: The Limit, Lawmaker, Inside Is Out There Love how rich their instrumentation is; this album sounds like a sinking a magical swamp. This collaboration is so special for its mix of traditional psychedelics with the benefit of a electronic master’s touch. Also they dragged the CDC on Lawmaker. Ahead of their time.

SLIME Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 12. Summer Walker - Still Over It (contemporary R&B) THESE ONES!: Unloyal, No Love, You Don’t Know Me Been obsessed with her voice since I heard it but as her first album took its time to grip me as a whole, I was impressed how fast I was pulled into this one. Consistently top-of-the-line mainstream R&B that spills so much tea it’s hard to look away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLIME Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 11. Magdalena Bay - Mercurial World (synthpop) THESE ONES!: Chaeri, You Lose, Follow the Leader, Dreamcatcher Wasn't sure if they were my core or not but they won me over with the strength of their craft. Catchy, deeply produced songs front-to-back with just the slightest dark edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLIME Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 10. Tyler, the Creator - Call Me If You Get Lost (West Coast hip hop) THESE ONES!: Lumberjack, Hot Wind Blows, Juggernaut LOVE THIS THROWBACK TO THE WAYNE ERA!!! Tyler's last two were each rewarding projects but I do love see him back in his rapping bag with the added maturity he's picked up over the years.

SLIME Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 9. PinkPantheress - To Hell with It (atmospheric drum & bass, contemporary R&B) THESE ONES!: Noticed I Cried, Just for Me Don't be late to her concert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLIME Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 8. Madlib - Sound Ancestors (instrumental hip hop, jazz rap) THESE ONES!: The Call, Loose Goose, Duumbiyay It’s Madlib and Four Tet. Think this taps into to a more spiritual/healing feel than the typical selection of Madlib beats. Have to mention the sequencing too which flows through a lot of moods (retro and futuristic) with professionalism. Last track in particular is really heartfelt. Very carefully constructed to where as I'd come back to different tracks, I hear new things each time. Super fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLIME Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 7. Slayyyter - Troubled Paradise (electropop, hyperpop) THESE ONES!: Troubled Paradise, Over This!, Cowboys, Letters, Villain, Throatzillaaa Honestly... she hits all of the right buttons for me so easily. This tracklist contained at least 6 of the best pop songs of the year and I played them all year long. Crunchy, heartfelt, dynamic, and proving she can be more than the raunchy cyber-girl. Slayyy!

SLIME Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 6. JPEGMAFIA - LP! (experimental hip hop, hardcore hip hop) THESE ONES!: Trust!, Dirty!, OG! He was already a fav of mine but I feel like he refined his craft a lot on this LP!, doing away with some of the edgier/cringier moments of before. Addictive glitchy beats and strong delivery made this a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLIME Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 5. Little Simz - Sometimes I Might Be Introvert (UK hip hop, conscious hip hop) THESE ONES!: Introvert, Woman, Standing Ovation This is just an opus, so clearly crafted with care and impeccable skill; can't see anyone else making an album like this. The rich, infectious production is the perfect compliment to her storytelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLIME Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 4. Spirit of the Beehive - ENTERTAINMENT, DEATH! (neo-psychedelia, noise pop) THESE ONES!: There’s Nothing You Can’t Do, The Server Is Immersed, I Suck the Devil’s Cock Fell hard for this band over the past year. It was the song titles that drew me on but they're nothing compared to the actual sound of the songs. This album sounds like wandering through a haunted house, truly not knowing what's around the next corner even if you think you've lived it before. So much to dig into.

SLIME Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 3. Rochelle Jordan - Play with the Changes (alternative R&B, UK bass) THESE ONES!: Love You Good, Got Em, Next 2 You, All Along, Broken Steel, Dancing Elephants One of my absolute favorite comebacks of the last several years is Rochelle re-emerging with a fresh new sound in collaboration with some of the best producers in the game. This is the dance music we deserve, losing none of its soulful roots. Just an unbelievably rich musical ecosystem. Genuinely stunning all around.

SLIME Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 2. Arca - Kick ii, Kick iii, Kick iiii, Kick iiiii (Latin electronic, deconstructed club/experimental hip hop, ambient pop, ambient/modern classical) THESE ONES!: Prada, Tiro, Bruja, Incendio, Ripples, Intimate Flesh, Pu, Crown I knew from KiCK i that something special was happening... and after a wait, the Diva Experimental BLEW MY MIND with the level and sheer amount of content that filled out the remainder of the Kick universe. She gave me enough to dig into for years and years, with something for every mood I could possibly imagine. A milestone for electronic music. Note that KicK iii is the actual Album of the Year. Actually ******* insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
