dreamofyou Posted December 19, 2021 Posted December 19, 2021 higher power is such an earworm and shapeshifter is excellent. i wish her album had more songs in that direction
Achilles. Posted December 19, 2021 Posted December 19, 2021 I like Higher Power. It’s cute. The Sia album though…. Sis….
Ewan Chaos Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 Sia... Raye's EP was good! I only got into it this year too. Good Garbage, Coldplay, Normani picks too. That CxH song is my favorite of theirs!
witness1.3 Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 Euphoric Sad Songs is so good Higher Power, Wild Side, Mood Swings (yeah it is underwhelming, Start Walking is so much better) Ungodly Hour (wait this single cover is so good I need to use it for mine lol where did you get this/can you send it to me), Shapeshifter And again, I can't get enough of these graphics, they're sooo good!
OreGuy Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 Love seeing RAE getting some love and Tove seems interesting. Let me give her a spin. She seems like someone I might like But goodness, I can't speak enough about your graphics. Soooo good.
Lazuli Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 ungodly hour and wild side higher power sucks tho
TheWayWeWere Posted December 20, 2021 Author Posted December 20, 2021 TOP 50 ALBUMS 34 Katy B | Peace and Offerings "Why do you need so much attention, but give me no affection" It's kinda frustrating how all my british queens love to disappers for like.. half of a decade After failure called 'Honey', Katy B finally returns dropping off dance music for R&B-inspired EP. And even though it sounds bad on paper, result is amazing. She already explored this sound on some tracks from her debut, but here she feels free to experiment and record everything she wants. Heartbreaking, cloudy, moody, intimate, lush sound all over it. Great EP, amazing return, and I'm looking forward for the next step from her. It's so nice to hear and see her happy again. highlights: Dancing Round the Truth, Floating, Lay Low, In Your Room 33 Julia Michaels | Not In Chronological Order "He says I'm pretty upside down" It feels like a lifetime to wait her debut album to came out It also feels like a lifetime looking at her trying to find her sound. On her first album Julia tries to show the best of her, and even though it ended not without some failures/fillers, there's some of her best material ever. I'm glad to see her happy with her sound and image and I really hope she's not going to stop here, she's still has so much to tell. highlights: Undertone, Orange Magic, Lie Like This, Little Did I Know TOP 150 SINGLES 94 Selena Gomez, Rauw Alejandro | Baila Conmigo "¿Cómo te digo que no quiero hablar de amor?" Even though the EP was underwhelming as a whole, this song is a bop and a half! Incredibly catchy, memorable and just so passionate, you do really want to dance along, i'm not really into reggaeton, but this is such a vibe. 93 Kehlani | Altar "Stay just a little bit longer" I was like 'whoa, what a great jam Kehlani released' and then I actually listen to the lyrics. Doing a music about the lost ones is so uneasy, mostly because how hard and sad it can be, but Kehlani chooses another way - yes, your loved ones are gone, but you still can connect with them through spiritual relationships, and it's not even about real altar or something, it's about remembering, loving, praying. Amazing song. 92 The Weeknd, Ariana Grande | Save Your Tears "You look so happy when I'm not with you" Original song was already a well-written hit, one of the biggest highlights from After Hours, a sister to Blinding Lights with more nostalgia vibe and emotions. I was pretty surprised with Ariana feature, but in the end she fits this song so much, harmonizing, showing vocals and just being herself on a guest song. I just love how she makes already good song even better, making it not a remix with a feature, but a proper duet, I mean I rarely listen to album version since remix release. PS: I wish she served more power vocals in the final part, just as she did during live performance, they're insane! 91 Doja Cat | Need to Know "Sorry if I gave a random erection" I'm in a minority, but I need to confess that I never really loved this song as everyone else It's cute bop, but I find many other tracks from Planet Her being better. BUT this is probably her best solo song to showcase every of her talents - rapping, singing, vocalizing, harmonizing and being incredibly creative (I mean, music video is fucking fantastic). I just love how she never scared to being a freak, to be a little crazy or not like everyone else. She's truly a treasure. 90 Foxes | Kathleen "But you'll never know what you mean to me" Ugh, I'm such a sucker for heartbreaking/sad songs with explosive/dance/poppy choruses and this one is the perfect example of this. It's just so beautiful and comforting. 89 Katy B, Jaz Karis | Open Wound "I want to feel life again, I wanna be grateful" Unlike more 'calm' lead single to the EP, Open Wound opens her R&B roots even wiser, both danceable, vibey and emotive at the same time, this song feels like some natural bridge between 'Honey' sound and her new EP. 88 Agnes | 24 Hours "Walking through the fire all because of you" Wow, just wow, this song is like disco on some extreme drugs. It's so..agressive, explosive, sparky, yet extremly catchy. Really one of the best pop songs of the year and great introduction to her new sound/music.

Kiiii at #100-98 making the top 100 but the writeups have several complaints Wild Side is alright, I enjoy Higher Power, and then Mood Swings left my mind minutes after listening to it Okay the title wasn't clickbait because UNGODLY HOUR IS HERE!! There's no way they're done as a duo, and if they are then I feel like something fishy would be going on behind the scenes. almost entire album list has complaints and messy comments from me this year was... rough 22 hours ago, TalkThatRihanna said: Not the Normani gif I agree about the Sia album being horrible.

Haven't listened to it though so can't comment on its content Wild Side It reset my culture and that's what's important Ungodly Hour I hope they're not done either On 12/20/2021 at 12:42 AM, Sunderland 4ever said: Their first song released this year if I'm not mistaken. Decent track. They're coming to my city next year. Tickets sold out in two days.
BlackoutZone Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 KATY MY LADY Gonna ignore you calling Honey a failure tho the songs picks are also nice again, though Open Wound is not among my stand outs from the EP
Achilles. Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 24 Hours is excellent! Love Altar too. But omg, is it really about grief? I thought it was a sex song.

TalkThatRihanna Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 SYT Remix, Altar and NTK are great picks! Although, they’re too low I fear
Remmy Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 I remember enjoying Lie Like This from Julia but I'm not interested enough to check out a whole project || Still need to get into Agnes, she's been on my list for around a month or so. SYT original > remix to meee. Kathleen Yeah she's pretty gorgeous mmmm, and the outro is so cute. Kathleen seems like grandma goals
D/X Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 Save Your Tears I need to listen to that Foxes song though!
kiiwii Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 Not In Chronological Order i forgot that it's her first album. was a solid effort! save your tears i do prefer the original tho. kathleen is cute too, not one of my faves from the EP, but not the worst
ATRL Moderator Legend E Posted December 21, 2021 ATRL Moderator Posted December 21, 2021 not selena 24 Hours is great!
