Monsoon >>>>>> glad you gave it the shoutout. (**** i need to start a best of huh) I found out about her yesterday I knew before finishing the sentence that you would like her!! You might like one or two of my top 5 too!
Maleficent Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 Mai Lan is good tbh although I'm pissed @ her for delaying her album
Allstar Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 i kinda know your fave songs and albums I think but I'm waiting to discover another gem like every year like with Todd Terje that one time

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 12, 2017 Author ATRL Moderator Posted December 12, 2017 #05 Samantha Urbani - Policies of Power Frequent Blood Orange collaborator (and ex?) FINALLY RELEASES SOMETHING. I remember she had U Know I Know and 1234 which were very good a few years ago but without any large hype or followup we all forgot about her. Now she's back with an EP that honestly isn't getting the attention it deserves. 80s nostalgia is about the most trite trick in the book. But you know, since it IS her signature sound its already a tiny bit more digestable and instead of mining the cheesy radio rock or synth pop she looks to new wave, post punk, and sophisti-pop and draws us to the dancefloor. Besides 1234 which is irresistible, Time Time Time is the standout with an amazing use of sax. Everything feels eerily similar yet completely unique and new at the same time.
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 12, 2017 Author ATRL Moderator Posted December 12, 2017 #04 NCT 127 - Limitless This is honest to god the only Kpop release I heard this year where every single song was GOOD. Like good good, not decent/cute. And it's by men! I love the hopeless romantic vibe they go for instead of the usual "ladies man" type songs that always flop and are too try hard. It feels almost... genuine? The title track is obviously the highlight, I mean this is kpop, but Back 2 U has a really appealing chorus with call & responses and Heartbreaker elicits many emotions from me.
Diarrhoea Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 Limitless was kinda messy ngl. The title track is their best so far (a BOP) but I didn't really like the album? Good Thing is nice but it's barely an NCT song tbh. Cherry Bomb slayed the b-sides though Lemme listen to this other girl, you sold it well

Cherry Bomb slayed the b-sides though Lemme listen to this other girl, you sold it well I know a lot of people prefer Cherry Bomb and I think if I read both EPs/title tracks on paper I would choose Cherry Bomb first (IDK if it's not obvious to everyone already but I LOVE songs that are basically sum of parts and tons of genres/diff songs mixed together) but something about the vocal delivery on Limitless does *it* for me.
rihannafan Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 haven’t listened to many EPs this year, will be selecting some to listen to

The song itself is kinda messy, I like to pretend that Summer 127 or 0 Mile was the title track I like haphazard songs but the lyrics are a trainwreck in parts

I think you'll like ONE song from the Danny EP and dislike the others tho fyi.
SLIME Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 Remember 1234 being a banger but it not being on spotify for 2 years killed my hype fast. let me peep NCT I liked a song from but that must have been from before this year

The music vid made me like it more. 1UL also good but not my fave.... My fave is my boyfriend's least fave He said he HATES IT but loves the others.
artangels Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) stan for Grimes and WIRTW that Alice Glass EP was very meh imo can't say anything about the others because i didn't care about eps this year except for Rina, yaeji and ANOHNI Edited December 12, 2017 by artangels
