best of madonnas best of extravaganza - #1 song announced

[Tom Vercetti]

Quote

she really doesn't have the global appeal that SZA or even Jhene Aiko (unfortunately) has.  So it's a shame that even with an album SO mainstream appealing she will never have her big R&B radio hit moment even with an album as easily digestable as this one.

Agreed on this. She deserves to be just as (if not more) accepted than them.

Well maybe its older + kinda gay + less model-esque looking?

I'm not sure if it's about age as Kelela still looks around early 20s and her music doesn't strike me as overly gay either. 

 

The one thing I can say is her music is less generic.

Kendrick Lamar - DAMN.

 

Ahhhhhhh, some of you thought this might have been higher!  Well really, its a fantastic album but there were a lot of fantastic albums this year. What is there to say about DAMN. that hasn't already been said?  Nothing!!!  So I don't even wanna talk about it for a lengthy amount I'll just say I really enjoy the mixtape vibe of the whole project and enjoy that he can create radio friendly songs while staying true to his vision.

Zola Jesus - Okovi

 

Zola Jesus' return to form is an examination of anxiety, depression, etc from both a personal perspective and an outsider.  It has comforting, disorienting, and dramatic moments throughout the whole album!  She learned a lot from her "pop sellout" (not rly tbh) album last year but manages to combine those aesthetics with her more earlier gothic songs.  You are either a person who enjoys Soak/Siphon/etc or one who enjoys Exhumed/Veka/etc.  I like the nice balance of those two and you'll find out which side I'm on later :o

Alvvays - Antisocialites

 

 

"Pop perfection" gets tossed around a lot these days but I would actually like to say that at least FOUR of these songs meet the standard on this album, and all the others come very close.  There's something about their innocent youthful spirit that allows Alvvays to create infectious twee pop melodies that don't sound contrived or dated. 

[World Eater]

Calling Ti Amo Phoenix's best album is a bold statement, but then again, I'm a big Bankrupt! stan

 

Kendrick, Zola and Kelela

Wow at the 1-2-3-4 punch of this update

 

I disagree about TMA being "easily disgetable" but I guess that's just your personal experience.

 I completely agree with the number, I wonder if we also agree on the songs 

 

Spoiler

Dreams tonite,Forget about life,In Undertow, Not my baby,

 

right?

I honestly didn't expect DAMN to be in your top 10 or near it. 

I found Antisocialites to be slightly frontloaded but still enjoyable.

Seiko Oomori - Kitixxxgaia

 

Sorry you gotta find a way to download this album cause its not on spotify!  This is a deranged re-appropriation of J-pop cliches.  I'm not sure really how much of it is a product of love or hate but either way it gives me those manic early Kate Bush vibes but way more musically dense.  If you want something that's more of an explict parody listen to IDOL SONG but Positive Stress and the second track are way more subtle in their approach.  

[Tsareena]

Damn.

"nothing to be said or done - it's not me its everyone"

"no one's trying to settle down, all you gotta do is lmk"

same melody basically.

Doesn't sound remotely similar to me but oh well. Both are bottom 5 on the album though, I'll give you that

Kitty - Miami Garden Club

 

WE FINALLY GOT A DEBUT ALBUM AND ITS ACTUALLY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The beginning starts as dream pop masterpieces and the end ends as 80s trash masterpieces.  My two faves  

[madonnas]

Any guesses on the top 10???

There are some albums that have gotten a LOT of praise

some that have gotten a LOT of hate

some that are irrelevant altogether.
