On 12/24/2021 at 10:34 PM, Remmy said: EPs~ Yesss RINSE Wish he got more attention, but the Hatchie collab definitely helped a bit. || Albums~ Apart & Hey u x were both one-listen-only albums for me We have the same trinity for LÉON. The first 4 tracks are great, then it falls off immediately after and never picks back up. As for BENEE, well I actually don't remember much so maybe everything felt too similar kiiii. 333 A nice followup to Songs for You for sure. Oh whoops! Did a little research and I think you're right. maybe he'll get some more traction with an album? oop, well at least you served some taste with your identical trinity from Apart was out of town and quite busy for christmas, but i'm hoping to finish this soon. i'm also trying to catch up with others' lists albums update below: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiiwii Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) #20 – 16 20. Small Black – Cheap Dreams A super consistent and chill album. It’s all very atmospheric and the colors of the artwork def helped reel me in. Favorites: “Duplex”, “The Bridge”, “Song To Ruin” 19. Men I Trust – Untourable Album I hate to compare it to their previous album Oncle Jazz, but this current one just wasn’t as instant for me. They obviously still excel in atmospheric sounds, but some of the tracks kind of drag on. Favorites: “Sugar”, “Tree Among Shrubs”, “Lifelong Song” 18. chloe moriondo – Blood Bunny A solid pop rock album that also dabbles in dream pop with some of its tracks. It’s a very enjoyable listen through out. Favorites: “Manta Rays”, “I Want To Be With You”, “Vapor” 17. CHUNG HA – Querencia I don’t follow K-Pop too closely, but I gave this a listen after seeing a lot of talk about it. I did not expect to like it that much, but there’s so many fun songs, and Demente (Spanish Version) even ended up being one of my most played songs of the year. Favorites: “Flying on Faith”, “Demente (feat. Guaynaa) [Spanish Version]”, “Lemon (feat. Colde)” 16. SG Lewis – times I remember not being too big on the singles prior to the album, but once this was released, everything in it just fit so much more nicely. Groovy and all around fun dance tunes. Favorites: “Time (feat. Rhye)”, “Feed The Fire (feat. Lucky Daye)”, “Chemicals” Edited December 29, 2021 by kiiwii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiiwii Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) #15 – 11 15. Zara Larsson – Poster Girl Basic bops? I love them. There’s a few songs that kind of lull the energy of this album, but I can easily look past them with the highs. Deluxe tracks included, it’s a very solid piece of work. Favorites: “Look What You’ve Done”, “Ruin My Life”, “Last Summer” 14. The Marías – CINEMA I’m honestly surprised this is their first album, they seem like an established group with plenty of work under their belt. This album has a bit of a sensual feel to it, and I just love that they also sing in Spanish. Favorites: “Calling U Back”, “Un Millión”, “To Say Hello” 13. Kacy Hill – Simple, Sweet, and Smiling She has yet to disappoint me after I discovered her at the end of 2018. She churned this one out rather quickly, releasing it just a year and some months after her previous album. Her sound is refreshing and is actually very soothing at times. Favorites: “The Right Time”, “Simple, Sweet, and Smiling”, “Walking at Midnight” 12. Aly & AJ – a touch of the beat gets you up on your feet gets you out and then into the sun Dismissing the long ass title that I’m not the biggest fan of… I expected to like this a lot more tbh. I enjoyed their upbeat synth-pop EPs so much, and this was a bit of a departure from that sound. Not at all terrible, given its placement ofc. It’s still a very solid album. Favorites: “Pretty Places”, “Symptom of Your Touch”, “Personal Cathedrals” 11. girl in red – if i could make it go quiet Just shy of making my top 10, which is a bit of a surprise, given how often I revisit tracks from this. I honestly had no idea she was so panned, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that this is full of harmless and fun ass songs. Favorites: “Seratonin”, “midnight love”, “Rue” Edited December 29, 2021 by kiiwii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K$Ellie Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Querencia and Times had some cute bops here and there agree with girl in red Zara too high but at least she had a few good songs Aly & AJ deserved to make the top 10 I liked Annie's album last year a lot but I didn't bother with the EP tbh Paranoia and 333 making it quite far Benee and Leon were cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remmy Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 #20-16: I remember peeking at the SG Lewis album due to another thread but I wasn't feeling it || #15-11: Ayyy now this set is more my speed especially since my AOTY is here!! The Marias & girl in red albums were generally enjoyable. Poster Girl is fun "There’s a few songs that kind of lull the energy of this album, but I can easily look past them with the highs." Same, like 8/12 isn't bad and most of those 8 are really great bops Next she should finally try and serve an album that has ALL killers. I was expecting synthpop from Aly & AJ as well, although there's no way I can complain. At this point they're serving no matter what genre or style.

kiiwii Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) #10 – 6 10. LAUREL – Limbo Cherry I finally got around to listening to LAUREL after putting her off for some time and I wish I had done so sooner. This EP has a mixture of bubbly pop songs with some danceable productions. Favorites: “Obsessed”, “You’re the One”, “Wild Side” 9. ADOY – her This EP came out of nowhere for me. I hadn’t heard of this group whatsoever, so listening to this was such a warm experience. I find the songs so pretty and fun. Favorites: “Simply”, “Antihero”, “Saint” 8. Magdalena Bay – Mini Mix, Vol. 2 Technically this is a mixtape, but I don’t really distinguish those for my list. Released at the end of 2020, this mixtape simply further cemented the grip this duo has on me. And the transitions from track to track, whew!! Favorites: “Live 4ever”, “Sky2Fall”, “Hideaway” 7. Alaska Reid – Big Bunny Apparently this is an EP, but it’s 9 tracks long. Anyway! A.G. Cook is a producer on some of these tracks, which helps in making a really interesting sound for her. It walks the line of being noisy as well as taking on a subdued approach with vocals. Favorites: “Oblivion”, “Boys from Town”, “Blood Ice” 6. ELIO – Can You Hear Me Now? I’m sooo glad she’s gotten some more recognition on this site. Jackie Onassis was one of my favorite songs last year, so I was really anticipating this EP. Although none of the songs came close to capturing me like that one did, this just further proved she’s someone I’ll be keeping constant tabs on in the future. Favorites: “Jackie Onassis”, “When U Saw Love”, “@elio.irl” Edited December 31, 2021 by kiiwii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiiwii Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) #10 – 6 10. Porter Robinson – Nurture The 2 singles leading up to this were so promising, and the album didn’t disappoint whatsoever. It’s so lush and warm, but weirdly enough, it also kinda makes me sad. Despite that, I find myself bopping to the songs frequently. Favorites: “Look at the Sky”, “Get Your Wish”, “Something Comforting” 9. Hayden Casey – Calamities Dreamy and synth-y. It makes for solid combo, especially when also paired with Hayden’s soft vocals. There’s like a sense of melancholy while not being overly sad. These songs are honestly just beautiful. Favorites: “Everything Is Changing”, “3 2 1”, “You Make Me Happy” 8. Sunshine Boysclub – Hut on the Hill This is 8 tracks long and I nearly put it on my list of EPs, but the artist called it his debut album.. (The difference between albums and EPs is a thin line sometimes…) Anyway, I’m quite shocked I ended up ranking it this high. But this was a pleasant surprise, the songs are simply catchy and upbeat. Favorites: “Right Out the Window”, “Don’t See Why”, “It’s All Possible” 7. Claud – Super Monster Ahhh, I’ve been hooked on Claud since I came across them back in 2018. So I'm really glad to finally hear a full album from them, and it did not disappoint. Sweet melodies and dreamy vocals are abundant on this album. Favorites: “Gold”, “Cuff Your Jeans”, “Guard Down” 6. Roosevelt – Polydans To think I gave his previous album Young Romance a listen and didn’t enjoy it, is surprising. This is a very cohesive album with disco-tinged bops throughout. Favorites: “Closer to My Heart”, “Lovers”, “Sign” Edited December 31, 2021 by kiiwii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
