luckystrike Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 totally forgot to listen to the new VERITE songs will give it a listen later cause she usually delivers super lowkey hated COTCC and BB but I remember Thunder being one of the better songs kii
Alex Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 cant say i know any of these songs but i’m sure they’re some cute indie / synth pop serves
taemin Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 I always love seeing SHINee in Best Of lists DCM wasn't their best era ever but it was a cute one I guess!
kiiwii Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 HYD's EP was indeed decent, i liked it. poster girl the song is cute too not too familiar with k-pop, but Chung Ha's album was really good. bicycle was def a highlight. vérité i havent listened to that mitski track yet, but your description of it has me intrigued!
Ewan Chaos Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Interlocked had Lauren's vocals on it????? Let me relistening. Good Danny pick but my fave is something different. Good Lorde pick too. Not my favorite Remi song but glad to see her get some love, even if you didn't like the whole album! I thought it was so fun. Any Mitski pick would be correct. The Only Heartbreaker, her Nobody to Working For the Knife (her Geyser).
TheWayWeWere Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Thunder demo tbh >>> The Only Heartbreaker I love her pop bops Run for Cover nice to see some love for Sugababes my favorite remix from re-release
Tinashegrande6 Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 I didn't know about the MNEK sugababes remix, just had a listen and it's cute! by now also has a very nice vibe

I think it's her most interesting song sonically too Yes lmao I think Harlecore was originally much more poppy before he remixed it into one big rave that kind of got lost. On a Mountain is a stand out tho fully Right? I trashed it too at first, but it's a fucking banger Period Deja Vu still doesn't click for me idk why maybe it's too ahead of it's time for me This is interesting. Before i started listening to Harlecore i thought it would be like In My Dreams or Super Natural type of bangers but i still like it The MC Boing tracks are diabolical in a good way nnn OT: The Only Heartbreaker is soo good Laurel Hell is going to fucked me up guaranteed WE GO, HULA HOOP, YALLA We love pretty girls music! Don't Call Me though? They were in their sellout era i fear

It's very disjointed and you can tell they are running out of his proper demos to use so they started piecing random ideas together trying to force something passable. However I'm still a Dua love at heart and her verse was amazing, her delivery was hot as fuck and made me spin the song TONS of times this year so I had to drop it here somehwere. Elton John & Dua Lipa - Cold Heart (PNAU Remix) That's a much better offering from Dua this year. PNAU did an amazing job blending these Elton classics together with a warm groovy production. So happy to see it smashing around the world, though not gonna lie it was very unexpected. This cool breakdown by David Bennett on YouTube made me appreciate it even more. But in its core it's still more of a cute mashup than a new song so. Kylie Minogue & Dua Lipa - Real Groove (Studio 2054 Remix) You thought we are done with Dua in this reveal huh? A collab between these ladies was (and kind of still remains) a dream, especially on one of the best songs on Disco which got notably compared to Future Nostalgia right after the release. This remix however, while I'm still glad it exists, doesn't really count as a proper collab with Dua's vocals being barely there, blended in and lost behind Kylie's lead and big instrumentation. I still love the remix though! With or without Dua it's funky af. Madison Beer - Default She's been so hyped this year and I'm gonna admit the album was a pretty interesting debut from a new pop girl. Hope she continues the path of songs like Default / Selfish / Effortlessly rather than BOYSHIT or Good In Goodbye. Ultimately tho my favorite track on the album is Default and it feels rather like an interlude so I didn't feel like putting it ont he main list. I had all of them in my playlists too this year, great honorable mentions, especially Cold Heart! We're living in a Dua world!

Finally after years of teasing we got a studio album and California Palms is definitely Maty at her best with amazing production by OZGO. Big summery pop banger. 46 OLIVIA RODRIGO - DEJA VU (ACCIDENTELY DELETED PIC) I'm definitely not a part of this year's Olivia craze and I found SOUR to be very mediocre, especially for someone who brands herself so much as Taylor protegee... but I still can't deny Deja Vu is a great track and her best by far. Maybe Cruel Summer "sample" carried it to this point, maybe not, I just love it. 17 hours ago, BlackoutZone said: So the general consensus is that Chemtrails has much better highlights isn't it? Honestly I found Thunder to be the best of both projects and after hearing the already great demo through the years I loved to see how she polished it and properly improved. Love me a good, not half-assed reissue that brings remastered songs, previously vaulted outtakes and unexpectedly reimagined classics, but modern day producers. MNEK did an amazing job remixing one of my favorites from this iconic album and truly giving it a new life. Great jams! I have the same feeling about Olivia as you, Deja Vu remains her best! I have to check out that Sugababes cover, loved the original!

She needs to get herself together Deja Vu is 100% Olivia's best song There was a period I preferred StarSeed, but overall I played HH much more so it's there. Yeah I think I enjoy FF so much, cause it's surrounded by straight up garbage kii 19 hours ago, Sanguine said: Love The Only Heartbreaker, hated it at first but it really hit me.

BlackoutZone Posted December 13, 2021 Author Posted December 13, 2021 Not a usual pick from the album, but I love how cinematic it is. It's been on a track to be my favorite ever since we got the trailer for the movie (which I also liked a lot). The whole record had potential to be just a bit better, but the great stand outs like this one or Easier than Lying carry it. Maybe anti-vaxxers do it better. Still Over It was a pretty great Rnb album and Insane is easily my favorite song, such sexy soulful vibes. Normani drops something once a solar eclipse at this point, but at least once it comes it's a stellar offering. Hope this sets the tone for her album if it's to ever exist. Hate Cardi and her annoying vocals, but her verse was great here. I was really scared of Katy's transition to more Rnb sound, but it turned out pretty well. I needed some time to click with the whole EP, but I'm still a Katy stan at heart and I love to hear her voice again. Under My Skin is probably still the best song she put out this year, but Floating was really good too. Female rap is not usually my genre hence why this song is probably still fairly low, but whew it's fucking great. Amazing on its own and even better as an opener of a really good album. The epic orchestration and choirs remind me of Janelle's The Archandroid days.
BlackoutZone Posted December 13, 2021 Author Posted December 13, 2021 She is a legend and everything she does has class to it, it's that simple. Another great title, greatt b-sides, great album. Probably would have been even higher if I placed it last year. loonathedisappointment are really getting on my nerves with this garbage they decided to release lately, but thankfully this amazing gem was hiding on [&] to save their deeply hurt reputation of having stellar b-sides. I know this came out last year, but most of us discovered Brave Girls in 2021 for obvious reasons and We Ride also entered the charts for the first time just this year. That being said this is their best song, I'm a huge sucker for nu-disco and city-pop influences in modern K-pop music and they nailed it. Always here for new EXO, love these boys and their constant delivery of bops. I might have overplayed this a little bit, but it's still a huge bop and one of my most played songs of 2021. No idea who that is even, but they performed this before Loona on some music show and I was hooked right away! The album has quite some good b-sides too, maybe I will dive deeper into their music eventually but for now this title is one of the catchiest BGs bangers this year.
Alex Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Bells In Santa Fe is definitely one of my faves on the album. Wild Side and Insane some of the best R&B songs released this year
Tinashegrande6 Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Wild Side took a while to grow but once it did whew. The intro alone ended careers maybe her own Insane also a great track, the whole album is excellent though
