Drivers License. :clap3:

Posted

Will Young's pose on that album cover lookin goofy as hell :oh: Donda has some cute moments (Hurricane/Jail/BWIS are among them!), but I feel like I'm officially done waiting for Kanye to release greatness again. || Oop at Drivers License not doing so hot :gaycat3: Olivia's songs aren't unlistenable but I can't just connect to them. Both of the newer MØ singles missed for me :sad: Electric is fine. Pressure yesss, that's an underrated bop :jamming: :jamming:

lived for BED and Pressure, amazing EDM songs :clap3:

BOYSHIT is a bop too! #ThankYouUPSAHL

TOP 50 ALBUMS

2Fayxzt.png

44    Mariah Carey | Mariah Carey's Magical Christmas Special
"I hear those sleigh bells ringing"
I would've been okay with Mariah milking christmas every year if she serves us with new (or unreleased, where the fuck is Where Are You Christmas?) music, maybe some good reinditions and visuals. And even though Magical Christmas Special was cute watch, very beautiful, with Mariah looking better than ever it was also a bit lame, especially since she expands it this year again  :skull: 'Mixes' on this soundtrack album isn't really creative or revamping, and her basically using Ariana collab for already released single :rip: (it hurts especially since she recorded new christmas song this year...with Khalid :rip: )

highlights: Oh Santa! (with Ariana Grande & Jennifer Hudson), Joy to the World (Magical Christmas Mix)

43    Foxes | Friends in the Corner EP
"Does it hurt to see how our smiles have changed?"
The main problem with this EP is that this was released too late - I mean, it belonds to last year with droplets. There's literally couple new songs with the ones she dropped last year. I loved most of it, but late release and little to no direction of this EP (despite amazing visuals) kinda affected my impression of it. I really hope she delievers with new album next year thought (all new singles are great actually).
highlights: Dance, Friends In the Corner, Love Not Loving You

 

 

TOP 150 SINGLES

gJpJz7Y.png

129    Taylor Swift, The National | coney island

"Sorry for not making you my centerfold"
Haunting. Dark. Emotional. Full of loneliness and regret. 'Exile' of evermore. Taylor's songwriting becoming better with each album tbh. PS: kinda would've preffered someone else on male vocals tbh :skull: 

dvUthWm.png

128    Taylor Swift | Mr. Perfectly Fine (Taylor's Version)

"I thought you might be different than the rest, I guess you're all the same"
I never was interested nor in Taylor's unreleased material nor Fearless era. Welp, I was wrong, sis has some treasures in her vault :jonny: Fun and sarcastic, catchy and nostalgic, and sounds as fresh as if it was written in 2020s. Could've been one of her classics tbh 

 

5yc9EL1.png

127    Kacey Musgraves | star-crossed
"Did we fly too high just to get burned by the sun?"
Beautiful opening to an album and the world of 'star-crossed'-era. I really love the building up to an heavenly ending. And VMA performance was a perfection, she was so good live this era. 

 

22kre1z.png

126    Kacey Musgraves | simple times
"I'm gonna go insane 'cause being grown up kind of sucks"
Well, cute nostalgic bop, one of the most generic tracks on the record. BUT I kinda hate this song for stealing the moment of 'Breadwinner' - real hit of the album :jonny2: 

 

WlK89wn.png

125    Natalie Imbruglia | Maybe It's Great
"Was it ever happy ever?"
Australian pop royality returns again and finally with original music! Not my favorite track from album, but such a nice throwback, I love 90s vibe and angry delievery of this, would've been even better with more alternative/rock arrangement tbh. 

 

QW1M6Yl.png

124    JoJo | Creature of Habit
"I don't even really need you, it's like I'm kinda scared to leave you"
I kinda ignored this song on its initial release, but after capsule project release I find myself returning this song day after day. And honestly, this is one of her all-time bests, sultry production (violins alone!), strickening lyrics, powerful vocals. This song feels so real and full of emotions, you just can't appreciate it. 

 

pDGBkDz.png

123    Birdy | Surrender
"I said I didn't miss you but I lied"
Stunning first single from Young Heart and still probably the weakest one. This feels like return to form for Birdy after her 'Piano Sketches' from last year. Such a beautiful, vulnerable and warming piece of music, I kinda ignored it mostly before album release, where it finally finds its place.

I'm just so over post-2016 Kanye at this point. I get that everyone loves it/why but fucking hell I don't have the damn time to listen to an album that long and try to act like I'm paying attention :deadbanana: I think we have the same highlights tho, maybe outside of Jail.

I love you :deadbanana4:

Really surprised by the donda appearance ngl. Critics panned it but I have a differing opinion from them. Nice highlights too.

Donda wasn't particularly good but also nowhere near as bad as I thought, if you cut it down to 10 songs it would be a decent album :lakitu:

drivers lisence and Boyshit was cute songs :jamming: 

this! I just can't @ thinking how good this record would've been as 10-12 track record

Taylor & Kacey coming in hot. LOVE to see it :clap3:

Posted

Coney Island is an underrated masterpiece, so it’s nice to see some appreciation. 
 

Mr Perfectly Fine is such a good bop. I hate her for not giving it a music video; it would’ve gone so viral if Sophie Turner had starred in it. :jonny2:
 


 

Star Crossed is a cute song. :celestial:

Posted

No cause I'm still caught off guard every time by the fact you prepared THESE graphics for nearly hundreds of entries :clap3:

Kacey queen, star-crossed was great! Foxes was pretty whatever, but she already stepped up so we stan.

Creature of Habit so nice, should be tucked onto the album/mixtape/whatever she calls it.

Mr Perfectly Fine a bop :clap:

Yup, Friends In the Corner really was released late - as she loves to do! || Heard the JoJo song like 3 times now and I forget what it sounds like everytime :rip: Double Taylor and Double Kacey back-to-back, and all 4 are great picks :clap3::clap3: coney island has been underrated since day 1 and Mr. Perfectly Fine is an anthem. Play that shit in a stadium or sumn!!!
