V.  HAPPIER THAN EVER  - BILLIE EILISH 

 

Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever - Amazon.com Music

 

:turkey:

 

despite all of the attempts to question, slander and 

dispose of billie, i can proudly say that i'm glad that 

i started to stick up for her. from the very moment 

we got the HTE snippet, i was immensely excited 

to see where billie would go next. 

 

happier than ever is a mature, adventurous record

that sees billie play with sounds she mastered on 

her juggernaut debut but also try her hand at 

different genres, some of which she should 

delve deeper in. 

 

billie's always had a personality however this

album screams BILLIE to me. i've learned so 

much about her relationship history, her mental 

health and thoughts on fame and its all been 

intriguing at the least. as genre-bouncing(?) 

as this record is, there's is a lingering cohesion

that ties all sixteen songs into an exquisite 

assortment of odes to various emotions and 

experiences. 

 

this is no doubt her best work yet and i'm excited 

to see where she goes next. she went from an 

artist comparable to lorde and lana to almost 

a younger, mainstream companion to that of 

st. vincent (IN MY OPINION) :emofish:  ! they're both 

talented artists that lie in between alternative 

and pop so i would love to see a collab of sorts

between them. 

 

top tracks: billie bossa nova, overheated, everybody dies 

genre: alternative-pop, electropop

 

 

 

Gorgeous write-up and top tracks omg, I also adore Overheated & Everybody Dies although I fear they're the least popular on the album from what I've seen :jonny: i see u!!

 

Loved your picks overall babe, Erika at #1 is a v respectable choice :clap3: go awf

MONTERO was definitely cute for its first few weeks but I haven’t gone back to it bar the singles

 

Planet Her stanning :clap:
 

Happier Than Ever was definitely a solid cohesive follow up to her debut!

 

And I am LOVING the high ranking for Still Over It :jonnycat:  It’s a classic on arrival! The way she made a long ass album like that with barely any skips :jonny: 

 

 

i love montero but it takes time for me to go back and stream because some of the songs hit too close to home 

 

and yess, summer did that :clap3:

Totally agree with your write-up on Billie. Whoa interesting comparison to St. Vincent. As much as it's NOT fair to compare Billie to this person... I almost wanna compare her more to a lesser version of Fiona? Not to downgrade Billie, but c'mon it's Fiona. 2 albums I need to check out, 1 I probably won't like,

 

and your number one, OH YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!! Love to see you enjoying the album in a time that was matched your personal life too, always special when that happens. And Insult Me, yeah!!!! Underrated track for sure!

   nnn i do get the fiona comparison too

 

not you serving taste with the sensational bit :jonny5:

Joy Crookes has some really nice tracks, but I haven't heard her full album yet.

 

Also yes at the Still Over It inclusion, almost skippless I fear :mandown:

 skin is such a great album, get into it sis :jonny5:

i definitely prefer HTE to her debut, which is an unpopular opinion:eli:

  same, its way better in my opinion

HTE and Still Over It :WAP:

I haven't listened to the Erika album but I love "Drama" 

 

  yes :clap3: 

 

sensational is everything

HTE was pretty amazing, after string of underwhelming singles it works so good as a whole :jonny:

TOP 25 SINGLES OF THE YEAR 

 

Posted

XXV. LALISA - LISA 

 

 

Lalisa' Review: Lisa, Taken Too Literally | Arts | The Harvard Crimson

 

:hippo:

 

this song is the definition of a grower imo. i initially preferred money 

over lalegend however when the debut track from lisa's solo clicked, 

it clicked. in typical daddy teddy fashion, the production is wonky

and chaotic which can get reductive but with lalisa, the track veers

into a cute and bubbly atmosphere before turning towards a dense, 

and bombastic instrumental, complimenting the multiple sides of 

lalegend :clap3:

 

Posted

XXIV. DEJA VU - OLIVIA RODRIGO 

 

Olivia Rodrigo tiene un 'deja vu'... y nosotros también – jenesaispop.com

 

:hippo: 

 

 

 

sour was a decent debut to me but deja vu would be the shining jewel

of the album. it's a bit more poppier compared to the other tracks 

so, it's kind of a given. the sugary instrumental is irresistible, teasing

listeners with an ice cream-like jingle before hitting them with a 

subdued roar. we also can't ignore the phenomenal lyrics. like fave, like

 stan indeed! her songwriting helps create a dreamy atmosphere while 

lashing out over the eventual dissolution of her relationship.

XXIII. t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l  - WILLOW 

 

Willow Smith Drops New Single 'Transparent Soul' Featuring Travis Barker

 

:hippo: 

 

2021 was kind of the year of willow and i can't be any happier.

after dropping a slew of alternative projects and genre-bending 

collaborations, willow enlists travis barker to kick off the pop-punk

revival that dominated the internet this summer. i got the same feeling 

with willow as i did with miley. two childhood icons finding the perfect 

sound for them and excelling! everything from the voice to the image

and branding just fit so well and the end result was a serve and a half!

XXII.  STEREOTYPE - STAYC

 

STAYC - Stereotype | Releases, Reviews, Credits | Discogs

 

:hippo: 

 

as soon as i thought that the disco-influenced pop trend was on 

its way out, stayc came through the door swinging and showed the 

girls just how to drop a quality track! the production is exciting 

throughout the entirety of the song and the girls sound great

in a perfect world, this would have been a worldwide radio smash!

Posted

XXI.  GONNA BLEACH MY EYEBROWS - ALEMEDA 

 

GONNA BLEACH MY EYEBROWS – [ALEMEDA] - Lyrical Lemonade

:hippo: 

 

i discovered this gem on twitter and the ethiopian +

arizona based musician delivered a dreamy bop that 

is very reminiscent of the recent uk garage trend 

propelled by artists like pinkpantheress and erika de 

casier. i wholly recommend you listen to the song, then 

watch the music video to get your life!

XX. STABILISE - NILUFER YANYA 

 

Nilüfer Yanya Announces New Album Painless, Shares Video for New Song “ Stabilise”: Watch | Pitchfork

 

:hippo: 

 

british queen of indie rock (yeah i said it.) nilufer yanya has yet to fail 

me and with stabilise, she's got me waiting every single second for the

next single and eventually the album due in march. the mellow, guitar-led

track discusses the impacts of her environment on herself, successfully 

building on some of the themes introduced in miss universe.

XIX. AMERICAN GURL - KILO KISH 

 

Kilo Kish – AMERICAN GURL Lyrics | Genius Lyrics

 

:hippo: 

 

kilo kish makes some of the best electronic music out there and it

is time that she gets her flowers! american gurl is further proof of the 

above statement. the groovy yet chaotic beat keeps you hooked 

alongside the catchy lyrics (in a locked box, in a locked drawer

will you find me, an american gurl ahhhmerican guuuuuuurl ) 

Posted

XVIII. BLUE BANISTERS - LANA DEL REY 

 

Lana Del Rey - Blue Banisters Lyrics and Tracklist | Genius

 

:hippo: 

 

while lana has yet to see the heights of norman fucking rockwell

(yass i can curse now), blue banisters as a single and album come 

really close. she sounds immensely beautiful here and as a single 

person who's never been in a relationship, her lyrics still managed 

to leave me sniffling in my dorm. i just think the themes of heartbreak

and friendship explored in this song was nothing short of excellent 

Posted

XVII. NEW SHAPES - CHARLI XCX  

 

Arts | The Harvard Crimson

 

:hippo: 

 

now good ones  was a serve but the kkkaroline and chrstine assisted

new shapes  is my personal fave of the two pre-album singles. i think it

does a well job at incorporating charli's trademark wonkiness to the 

80's inspired production. i need this on a netflix/hulu/hbo max soundtrack 

stat! overwhelmingly excited for the further janet-jacksonification of 

charli xcx

XVI. FLOW 2000 - BAD GYAL 

 

Flow 2000 - Single by Bad Gyal | Spotify

 

:hippo:

 

this track takes me back to the glory days of slow wine and 

worldwide angel (hiihiii :coffee: ) and perfectly presents what 

bad gyal is all about and that is perfect, club bangers. i can't

imagine anyone sitting down during this bop.

Posted

XV. SHOW ME LOVE  - TEAMARRR 

 

TeaMarrr - Show Me Love (ft. Meer Colon) (Audio, Lyrics, Video) » MPmania

 

:hippo: 

 

i got into teamarrr bc of atrl's very own song contest and since 

then her music has had me in shackles. show me love is nothing

more than a fun, upbeat track with clear nods to dancehall and 

r&b. get into my good sis before she dominates 2022!

Posted

XIV. JUST FOR ME  - PINKPANTHERESS

 

Just for me - Single by PinkPantheress | Spotify

 

:hippo: 

 

tik tok's breakout star delivered a lot of classics this year, including

the infectious just for me. one thing i really enjoy about pinkpantheress

is just how emotive she is on these short tracks. a lot happens in the 

instrumental but it's nothing but a sweet, catchy tune.

Posted

XIII. FOUND - TEMS 

 

Found (feat. Brent Faiyaz) - Single by Tems, Brent Faiyaz | Spotify

 

:hippo: 

 

another queen who made her mark this year, tems dropped her EP

if orange was a place  and i was eager to get lost in her world. i came

out of the experience excited for more and specifically, i really enjoyed

the track found with brent faiyaz. their voices fit perfectly on here and 

while i have yet to get into brent, he sounds breedable  lovely on here! 

 

if you're in the mood for a calming r&b dream then don't miss out on tems
