i just can’t seem to buy into Rina’s hype???

The album is so... same old, same old. I can see why people are hyped up for her, though. It will be interesting to see where she propels from here

Posted

Next up is the 200 song countdown. Be on the look out. 

Posted

im mad at myself i dunno any of these albums 

Posted

Ordinary Superstar bangs

Posted

David Bowie :beatfreak:

Posted

Updating later today with 15 songs (#200-#186) Should be fun (and slightly chill). 

Posted

Only heard the Bowie ep, but definitely will check some of these out.

Posted

Bowie. :clap3:

Posted

Excited for the songs! Don't really listen to much EPs.

Posted

Listened to the #1 EP and the only thing I managed to make out of it is how it ended like two seconds after it started ff but it seemed interesting

 

Rina's a great choice too obviously.

david bowie no plan ep was gr8.

200. Rex Orange County ft Benny Sings - Loving Is Easy (indie pop)

 

1ea5c946478a585f274ff828763eb1f7.320x320x1.jpg

 

Spoiler

 

 

A free-spirited tune with a bright morning day instrumental from an artist you may be familiar with if you heard Tyler, The Creator's flowerboy. I like how simple the chorus is.

 

199. Zack Villere - Bloo (Art pop)

 

19c6f8cc1355384d4fec44eaf3205b4b.1000x1000x1.jpg

 

Spoiler

 

 

For someone who could be mistaken as talentless, he can occasionally make pleasant song arrangements. Bloo also references Tyler and the 2nd half of the song leans toward Frank Ocean's high pitched vocal style. 

 

198. Matt Martians ft Syd & Steve Lacy - Dent Jusay (alt r&b)

 

91a4ff81711aa4d86627f4e46c335315.600x600x1.jpg

 

Spoiler

 

 

This reminds me something The Internet would make as an interlude. Oh how I wish it was longer and without the outro. 

 

197. FKJ - Skyline (neo-soul)

 

artworks-000210595807-bm1qaf-t500x500.jpg

 

Spoiler

 

 

Loving that piano play and overall production. Smooth stuff. 

 

196. Katy Perry - Tsunami (Pop)

 

Katy_Perry_-_Witness_(Official_Album_Cover).png

 

Spoiler

 

 

 I would've preferred if she pursued this route more often. Decent production, inoffensive lyrics and mellow enough for replayability. IIRC, she said Tame Impala was one of her favorite artists, so perhaps some of that inspiration went onto here. Slight reach? Idk. 

 

195. Jens Lekman - How We Met, the Long Version (Indie pop/nu-disco)

 

Jens_Lekman_Life_Will_See_You_Now.jpg

 

Spoiler

 

 

Jens gives his explanation on how relationships are created while borrowing a disco sound. One of the standouts from his album.

 

194. Channel Swimmer - Look Up, Paradise (Plunderphonics/Chillwave) 

 

a2728959281_10.jpg

 

Spoiler

 

 

This would be a nice The Avalanches B-Side. 

 

193. Oneohtrix Point Never - Leaving The Park (Electronic)

 

GoodTimeOriginalMotionPictureSoundtrack_Oneohtrix.jpg

 

Spoiler

 

 

Taken from the Good Time OST, Leaving the Park details a progressing journey through its synths and gradual buildup. Excuse the artwork btw, I hate it as well.

192. Unsane - Distance (noise rock)

 

unsanesterilizecd.jpg

 

Spoiler

 

 

The chorus is oddly clean & catchy for me while the song retains heaviness and this track differentiates itself from the rest of the album its from due to that aspect. 

 

191. Gabriel Garzón-Montano - Crawl (neo-soul)

 

jardin.jpg

 

Spoiler

 

 

One of my favorites from him. It has a slight old school feel while still sounding current. 

 

190. Moire ft DRS - Bootleg (Techno/House)

 

GI-280_3000x300_540_540.jpg

 

Spoiler

 

 

A steady rhythmic techno track with contribution of compelling Grime vocals. 

 

189. Jadu Heart x Mura Masa - U Never Call Me (Alt R&B/Electronic)

 

artworks-000259911110-vi99ur-t500x500.jpg

 

Spoiler

 

 

Jadu Heart always providing those jai paul vibes. I still have my criticisms towards Mura Musa but he worked here.  

 

188. Your Old Droog ft Danny Brown - Grandma Hips (Boom Bap/Hip Hop)

 

PACKS_Your_Old_Droog.jpg

 

Spoiler

 

 

The production really suits Danny's guest feature and both Droog and Danny went hard on this mf doom inspired track. 

 

187. Yung Lean - Red Bottom Sky (Cloud Rap/Alt R&B)

 

77207693d39bc1798618864cecdd08ab.938x938x1.jpg

 

Spoiler

 

 

With that suspiciously ear candy production and Yung's attempts at the melodic route, Red Bottom is a bop. 

 

186. Wiley ft Manga - Laptop (Grime Rap)

Spoiler

 

 

Speaking of catchy production, wtf was this not a single? Hit worthy material. His promotion and stanning of MacBooks is kinda amusing too.

In this house we stan Tsunami

Hopefully this isn't Oneohtrix' last appearance.

18. Earthgang - Rags

 

earthgang-cover-art-1.jpg

 

The Altantic Rap Duo EarthGang released a duo of EPs this year of their supposed trilogy, Rags and Robots, and while both were near quality I felt Rags had the slight edge due to consistency. I haven't heard of them before this year so this was one of my discoveries. I saw the features list (J.I.D, Mick Jenkins) and was pretty much interested on checking this out. I wasn't disappointed. 

 

I knew you had taste. 

Posted

BLESS you for genres.

 

No idea what a boom bap is but that sing is a bop, How We Met, the Long Version; Look Up, Paradise; Crawl were nice but top 200 feels about right and Distance's chorus wasn't really pleasant enough to justify the rest for me.

Posted

i haven't heard of many of these :skull: but i like the sound of the matt martians and the channel swimmer tracks! i think i listened to the fkj album and it was cute

Posted

sdkagskg even tho I made the thread for that OPN ost album, I never got around to fully listening to it dd;

Just a style of hip hop, but I edited a further clarification. For Distance, guess it's just a niche taste. It made it one of the memorable tracks from Sterilize for me.
