TOP 50 ALBUMS
s9vNKUB.png

30    WILLOW | lately i feel EVERYTHING
"Life's a movie and it sucks, but I can't stop watching"
What I love about Willow is that despite getting early success (almost 10 years before) with silly bop 'Whip My Hair', she finds her sound and image over the year, she experiments with her music, risks, not being afraid of being misunderstood, which only shows how talanted and creative she is. 'lately i feel EVERYTHING' is her latest project and I find this as her best one, I loved some of her songs before, but never get into full project before, with new alternative/punk/rock sound she feels so organic and natural. I love the anger, emotions, it's just so good to see her getting a life and fun. It's not getting reductive even though you feel inspirations from early 00s punk acts, it's still stands as her personal work of art.  And the fact that entire record was produced by her & her boyfriend. 
highlights: naïve, XTRA, Gaslight, ¡BREAKOUT!

29    Lady Gaga | Dawn of Chromatica
"I look through the mirror, I don't see my face"
Okay, this is the blueprint for remixes albums tbh. I liked her previous remix compilations, but mostly because they're just included some good remixes for my favorites. On Dawn of Chromatica Gaga (Bloodpop, actually) goes further to make collaborative effort with big variety of producers/singers to reimagine already great dance-pop record. It's not about making fun dance bops for couple plays in the club, it's about finding new sound for already known songs. And result is freaking amazing. The fact the album itself was a big dedication to club scene and remix album now goes even deeper. 
highlights: Babylon (Bree Runway & Jimmy Edgar), Free Woman (Rina Sawayama & Clarence Clarity), 911 (Charli XCX & A. G. Cook), Plastic Doll (Ashnikko)

 

 

TOP 150 SINGLES

9560oCq.png

80    Dawn Richard | Jacuzzi
"So won't you drip like me?"
Okay, this beat is HOT :flame: I love how it blends both her experimental side and modern r&b, while stays such a smooth banger :jonny: But I kinda get tired of it too fast tbh 

 

mysGj6C.png

79    ELIO, Charli XCX | CHARGER (Charli XCX Rework)
"I'm three precent away from being stranded"
Thank u Godli XCX for discovering this pop perfection for me :jonny: I mean, original song already seems to be perfect, but Charli just put few spoons of her magic and made it even better. This is such a great mash of PC Music/hyperpop with tradional pop music :jonny: 

 

hSuNiWU.png

78    P.J. Harding, Noah Cyrus | Dear August
"Looking for someone to save me"
Continuation of 'July' I never knew I needed in my life :jonny2: Beautiful country/acoustic ballad about hope and better times despite depression and darkness. Amazing chemistry between vocalists, folk sound, great songwriting. I just love how organic it feels and how they're both complimenting each other with their voices. 

 

VBzp8ZM.png

77    BAYNK, Tinashe | Esther
"I won't come unless the sun's not up"
As I already stated, Tinashe is perfect for dance music, but unlike more generic bops like Lean on Me or Love Line, Esther goes further into house/electronic roots and result is pretty amazing, bouncy, flirty tune. Bassline is just inescapable :jonny: We need full-length electronic project, Nashe! :jonny: 

 

mc38jMN.png

76    Mabel | Let Them Know
"All my girls feel the bass line"
I think we all needs to accept Mabel isn't going back to her alt/indie pop roots, and I'm actually okay with that if she's going to release quality bops (High Expectations was not IT). But her comeback this year is fucking amazing actually, she decided to give the gays everything they want and released this club banger :jonny: It's so chic, fun, RuPaul 90s inspired and catchy as hell. The fact that SG Lewis, RAYE and MNEK had hands on this song :jonny: I hate that this flopped, this is probably her best song in years. 

 

Mju8rKN.png

75    Tove Styrke | Start Walking
"I ain't scared of feelin' loneliness"
I know disco became a bit tired trend, but it still could be fresh and fun, this one takes us to ABBA-esque sound, both with striking melody and catchy hook, pure pop gold with some sad lyrics, which is basically my favorite combination. PS: she needs to release version with saxophone from live performance, NOW! :jonny: 

 

wOv8bI6.png

74    HAIM, Taylor Swift | Gasoline
"You say you wanna go slower but I wanna go faster"
This was already among my favorites from the masterpiece Women In Music Pt. III, so Tayor Swift remix was welcome :jonny: Basically in the end it's great example of great reimagination of an already great track, Taylor shines on her part, but the real star remains the song itself along with HAIM's melancholic delivery.

People were hyping up Alessia's album quite a bit, but yeah there was too much filler once again :celestial5: Sweet Dream had me pretty excited as well, one of her best songs I think! || Don't care much for Wildflower Wildfire. Mirror, Bunny, Therefore I Am are all growers :clap3: Thought they were alright/cute at first and then one day they just clicked. DIdn't care for the Starstruck remix (love the original) OR A Second to Midnight :'( I'm starting to realize that maybe I'm just not into Kylie aside from a handful of songs nnn.

I hyped it myself too, first two singles were so good, can't believe she waster opportunity to go full indie mode :doc:

Dawn of Chromatica was a great remix album indeed!

 

Nnn I forgot Mabel tried to have her DSN moment :priceless:

I liked Willow’s single but haven’t checked the album yet. Is it good?

 

 

Gasoline… I listened to that… once. :shutup: I really wish that she’d remixed The Steps instead. 

Posted

Let them know was a bop, the lyrics are a whole mess though :gaycat6:

Posted

Never rlly connected with Mabel, music seems to generic with no personality. Maybe i'll check out her new stuff

Posted

Let Them Know is THAT bop :katie2:

Posted

Willow's album was so good :jonny5: Charger was a nice surprise, one of my favorite Charli songs :smitten:

Therefore I Am grew, then got old and then grew again :jonny2: Bunny and Meet Me At Our Spot are cute :clap3:

Julia's album was meh but I really liked Orange Magic :heart: Need To Know is too low :shakeno:

31    Alessia Cara | In the Meantime
"So much harder to be honest with yourself at 20-something"
I never get the point how Alessia got a bunch of hits back then, since I never get into her work before, but I randomly saw Shapeshifter video on YT, and omg it was a serve, both musically and visually. In the Meantime were a bit underwhelming after Shapeshifter/Sweet Dream, a bit fillerish, sometimes generic and not cohesive, but it's surely her best album yet, with some of her best lyrics, a bit conceptional and interesting. Sometimes it's a bit repetitive, I think she should go more into alt-pop route tbh, but it's a nice shift from her usual persona. 
highlights: Box In The Ocean, Fishbowl, Sweet Dream, Apartment Song

Legend :clap3:

chromatica remix will probably be the only remix album i'll ever use nn
