Your description of Rebecca Black might actually get me to listen to some of her new music. I kinda thought it was gonna all be hyperpop, but maybe not...? I've never been against liking a Rebecca Black track, I was spinning Person of Interest and all! ...I've just always been against Hyperpop :(

Dawn of Chromatica was probably the most I've enjoyed a Gaga album in a long time :heart2: I hope she takes at least a few things from that remix album onto her next one, it was such a fun release.

 

Tokischa and Rosalia :jonny5:

Honestly, it took her about a year for her to understand that the remix represent the actually album would sounds like. Better late than never :clap3:

I liked Dawn Of Chromatica when it first came out but haven’t gone back to it in months nnn

 

In terms of your song picks: I recent got into Weekend by TAEYEON and it slaps :jonny: Brutal & Cold Heart :clap3:

TAEYEON released Weekend for the gays and she understood the assignment by blatantly copied Doja's most pop sounding songs :clap3:

Ianaw,iag is one of my least favorites from her album actually :mandown: Can't connect with how much people love it. Thot Shit :sats: The first Megan song I've really cared for, your description is exactly how I feel. || Dawn of Chromatica was definitely better than expected! Free Woman is a major standout absolutely

I feel like Trent & Atticus carried the album so much that sometimes i don't even see the flaws on it nnn and also Halsey really ate every songs on it :clap3:

YES  :clap3: I'm so glad that she actually has a passion for music and not just some teenage girl who want to record some music so her rich parents can pay a producer to create a song for her. Her evaluation of her music for her past decade is amazing to see

AJ Tracey is definitely unexpected :dies: He actually does have bops every now and then. I definitely was put off by the first few tracks on the album so maybe I should revisit.

West Ten and Dinner Guests are ultimate bops so that's why i listen to this album in the first place i- :deadbanana4:

 

I guess i have to say thank you to Mabel on this one nnn

DIZ*BAND :clap3: thank god for panorama cuz if their final single was smth on the level of SSOTS or even fiesta they would've been a joke

you gotta point for chromatica remix, the original album should've experimented a little more instead of just staying in the 90s house sounds

 

Even D-D-Dance is excellent too :clap3: The way Mnet and Starships finally get it on final days as the group is a kii not gonna lie ddd

Right? now since IZ*ONE is finally done, now other upcoming 4th gen GG better carry the torch with these "elegent" concept that APink originally created (and they probably wouldn't comeback for while. Thank i hate it!)

I feel like she kinda teasing with hyperpop on the first half of the EP but then she went all out on Friday (Remix), which is not a good one actually :deadbanana4:

 

But other than that, is more about early 2010's pop songs that i actually love. It's definitely an upgrade for me lol

70. Sob Rock - John Mayer

(July 16, 2021)

 

Quote

Not John Mayer doing the "sad white boy with a guitar" stick better than Shawn Mendes in recent years. If i were Shawn i would be embarrased lol

 

With a homage of 80's Main Pop Boys album cover, the album itself it's really intriguing for me especially with these smooth 80’s influenced soft rock sounds. I mean it's kinda of obvious that he took inspiration from artists Don Henley or Dire Straits back when they ere on their peak at the time but he blends it all into his signature style of music and songwriting and it works so well

(December 11, 2020)

 

Quote

Kid Cudi came back with the part 3  of 'Man on the Moon" series after a decade of MOTM part 2 was released

 

This is maybe the worst from trilogy so far if i'm being honest. And after multiple listen, this third installment still didn't do much for me but I did think it had some genuinely great moments. But i feel like i had high expectation for this since the first two MOTM series are my favorites that's why i expected a little more but in the end of the day it still a solid decent album. probably in the next few years, this has potential for me

I choose the re-release because it's basically a complete album for me

 

TXT comeback with a strong project this year, it's a pretty eclectic album, varying between pop, EDM, hip-hop and rock, with each one of the portrayal of these genres bringing the best of the group's qualities upfront and showcasing their colorful emotions with a lot of impact and good music

Poppy is back with another album that firmly places her in the alternative world. It is a pretty good effort, oftentimes very good. There's nothing too revolutionary here of course but the songs are sturdy and very enjoyable. Also her aesthetic and sound are interesting enough that this album does feel more sincere than anything she's done up to this point

 

Also i want to give a shout out to her EP 'Eat (NXT Soundtrack)' because that is the best project she's ever released so far but i forgot about this album until a few days ago lmao.

65. Favorite (Re-release version of Sticker) - NCT 127

 

nct-127-favorite-Cover-Art.jpg

 

(September 17, 2021)

 

Quote

Just like TXT, i choose the re-release of NCT 127 album 'Sticker' because it's basically a full album . This album sounds like a bit of a deconstructed version of 127's sound altogether, basically the peak of their "noise music" i fear.

 

Favorite (Vampire) is basically a straight pop song with annoying ass rap for some reason and Sticker (song) is some avant-garde song that so jarring at times i ended up enjoying it after 30+ listen. this is some stockholm syndrome shit right here. Most of the b-sides are SM boygroups pop songs that i enjoy, and some of the songs kinda remind me of b-sides from their 2017's Cherry Bomb. I feel like the first 7 songs on this would make a really great mini album actually

64. Texis - Sleigh Bells

Quote

Their debut album 'Treas' is always have a place in my heart because it was the frist time that i discovered the term 'Noise music'

 

Even if all of their albums post-Treats didn't excited me that much but in their 5th album 'Texis' i kinda fall in love with them again. Like most of their music, many of these songs took a couple listens for me to appreciate them but luckily, they once again managed to make songs interestingly good. Even if this new album is not 'Treats', but it's a joy to listen to.

63. lately I feel EVERYTHING - WILLOW

 

willow-lately-i-feel-everything-Cover-Art.jpg

 

(July 16, 2021)

 

Quote

I've been following Willow's Smith music career since 'Whip My Hair' (shockingly) and each era she always doing somehing different and it makes her one of the most interesing artists out there, kinda like the musical chameleon type of artist

 

I'd say this isn't Willow's strongest release to date, her 2019 self-titled album still takes the cake, but not gonna lie the Pop Punk sound suits her quite well and she ends up creating some excellent music here. The short runtime makes this a punchy listen and it doesn't bother me at all. Maybe this is just me but i hate when people she make this music because of pop-punk revival like bitch, she recorded this album long before pop-punk become a new IT thing recently. But other than that, the album still worth checking out.

62. The Bitter Truth - Evanescence

(March 26, 2021)

 

Quote

Evanescence is always a big part of my childchood and since they rarely release new music in most of their career, every studio album releases is always an event for me including this one

 

This album focuses heavily on dark lyrics and also filled with synthesizers and heavy background music. After listened to the album, it kinda reminds me of their second album 'The Open Door'. Although the mixing isn’t the best on some songs and vocals are a bit drowned out at times, it doesn’t take away from me to enjoy it

 

Top 3: Feeding the Dark, Better Without You & Wasted on You

 

Spotify // Apple Music // Youtube

61. Paranoia - Maggie Lindemann

(January 22, 2021)

 

Quote

I know about Maggie Lindemann from that 'Pretty Girl' song and the remix went become a huge hit back then. So when i listened to her newest singles from this album, I really didn’t expect this from her

 

This EP mostly evokes mid-2000s Paramore and Avril but with a more up-to-date production. It's energetic and fresh while still maintaining the nostalgic feel, full of personality, and all over the place in the sonic world of pop/punk and rock

The way people collectively dragging SM for buying a Fast & Furious soundtrack song and then turning it into a classic SM disjointed song in this new decade. What kind a unexpacted plot twist is going on?! And the fact that I used to absolutely hate this when it first released like, what was i thinking?:jonny5:

Well.. another Zombie-esque music video on today's list (what's with K-pop and Zombie theme this year?). This song is just peaked quirky "quoting Mean Girls movie" type of girls and I. lOVE. IT.
