This year was again incredibly busy in terms of releases and I know some of these might objectively better than what is on my actual list but either I didn't get enough time to spend with them or they are in a genre that I still have to learn to love. Still, these are some records I genuinely enjoyed in one way or another and they deserve to be mentioned. pls don't drag me for DAMN.

this was the first year i really tried getting into hip hop and rap stuff, I never really got into it for some reason, even knowing that its a fantastic genre and i still have to find my way into it, regardless those are some albums that peaked my interest in the genre because its none of that lazy bull**** that i detest

 

no one can top your edginess tho

i kind of went more by what brought me personal joy. like i said, i know some of these HMs might be considered better in quality than what ended up on my list but that stuff brought me more satisfaction.

60. Banks delivers one of her most interesting and satisfying songs to date with Underdog, a minimalistic electronic song that snaps and shows off her ability to write infectious melodies.

59. Although the sample basically makes the song, it's still her most interesting and best song to date, perfectly using her voice against the simple production. If even Selena can deliver an interesting take on the traditional pop song, others have no excuse.

58. Probably the most un-SOPHIE song she ever produced and it can sometimes feel like three songs stuffed into it and while parts of it (and the video) are a shameless Grimes rip-off, it's still an interesting song that manages to surprise and get you moving.

57. A beautiful and well produced song that will sure to get you dancing. Their production can border on sameness but this is a definite highlight from the EP of the same name.

56. Lizzo is a prime example of black excellence, putting out bop after bop and this one is no exception. It's probably one of her most interesting songs production wise and her wit and confidence definitely comes through, showing us that there is no right or wrong way of being a woman.

55. While the accompanying album was kind of a disappointment, High is a fantastic single and one of Little Dragon's best to date. Yukimi's sugary-sweet vocals fit perfectly over the smooth, relaxing production.
