grandewhispers Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 48 minutes ago, Unoriginal said: UNORIGINAL'S BEST OF 2017 2017's 50 Best Singles 10 - 6 #10 BANKS - Underdog BANKS served us Crowded Places near the start of 2017 and it was lowkey a mess and nowhere near her best material but nonetheless a sweet BANKS song that was a nice gift a couple months after The Altar, one of 2016's albums of the year. Underdog came relatively out of the blue and it was a much better surprise than Crowded Places was. It's different from a lot of Goddess and The Altar in that it's lighter and much happier; there's a distinct lack of darker undertones that peppered both of BANKS' albums, with distinctions like Warm Water and Lovesick -- both were album highlights and Underdog is an impressive entry into BANKS' catalogue with its fascinating barks, strained yet restrained chorus and interesting production. A worthy top ten entry with considerable replayability. It still sounds fresh nearly 150 plays in. I promised no essays this time so I'll stop here. listen here #9 Kelela - Frontline I'd known of Kelela from her feature on A Seat at the Table but regrettably didn't check her out until the release of Take Me Apart. Frontline, the album's opening song and an album highlight as well as a formidable single choice, is commendable in its confidence, daring and emotional strength. It sounds angry and upset but powerful and in control, all simultaneously. Kelela's vocals are heavenly, especially towards the end of the bridge, and the whole song is a laudable triumph of modern R&B; it confidently places Kelela front and centre of the new wave of R&B artists who aren't really R&B and deservingly so. listen here #8 Jessie Ware - Midnight I've been a fan of Jessie Ware since Tough Love and the consistence in quality from Devotion all the way up to Glasshouse is a rare calibre that's difficult for most artists to attain; Jessie makes it seem effortless and Midnight - the soulful, stomping, powerful lead single from Jessie's third album Glasshouse - served only as further testament to this. Jessie claimed Midnight was a song she 'always wanted to be able to sing but perhaps didn't have the confidence [to] until now' but there are no issues whatsoever with Midnight effortlessly exuding confidence for all of its nearly four-minute runtime. It sounds like a lowkey 80s callback that mixes modern elements in perfectly to create a sublime, perfect lead single that is exactly where Jessie sounds most comfortable - and righfully so. listen here #7 St. Vincent - Los Ageless There can be little higher praise given to Los Ageless than to say it single-handedly convinced me to pre-order the most expensive version of MASSEDUCTION; by the end of the first chorus I'd bought a vinyl of the album that didn't even have a proper sleeve. New York was admittedly a tad underwhelming because it felt like it was lacking something; I'd listened to it twice by the time Los Ageless came out months later. Los Ageless is entirely the opposite of New York: it's loud and it's full on from the very first second with a distorted guitar, sharp and snappy lyrics and one of my favourite choruses of 2017 purely for its sheer quality and, in a way, unexpectedness. The song is a clever kind of Father John Misty-esque critique of LA and American youth in general that's accompanied behind one of Annie Clark's most accessible, poppiest instrumentals thanks to Jack Antonoff's production. It's a full on attack on the senses that succeeds in its delivery and clever message whilst also weaving in heartbreak with the song's chorus and outro. Simply genius. listen here #6 Father John Misty - Ballad of the Dying Man Speaking of Father John Misty... Ballad of the Dying Man is predictably (not at all in a bad way) littered with Misty's sharp, witty, clever lyrics that make pretentiousness look cool. Dying Man talks about a man thinking back on life and considering the importance of his opinions, views and critiques on the world before realising that, in the end, it counts for what is essentially... nothing. It's a genius, dry-humoured narrative that feels all too relevant for today's society and feels like a song only Misty could pull off so well (as we've somewhat regrettably seen, Arcade Fire... um... tried it) backed by a deceptively, seemingly simple yet perfect-for-the-song instrumental led in by a guitar and piano before being led primarily by the piano and percussion. Later on into the song, a choir comes in to drive home the message of the song one more powerful time. It feels grandiose and extravagant because it is -- intentionally. Misty perfected his pretentious shtick on Pure Comedy and Ballad of the Dying Man is one of the best outputs of this (oddly, Misty's persona feels so drilled in that serious songs like Two Wildly Different Perspectives come off as try-hard and not genuine). listen here I don't know any song here, I'm mad
Tom Vercetti Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Love Kelela's delivery during the outro Midnight isn't my favorite single from Jessie but it'll do. Los Ageless
Lazuli Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Crowded Places is better than Underdog tho Frontline is cute, and so was Midnight but Jessie's got better singles than that! Los Ageless is my least fave single from MASSEDUCTION but I'll give it to you
ATRL Moderator Tsareena Posted December 20, 2017 ATRL Moderator Posted December 20, 2017 yes at this update. don't care for father john misty but the rest are great
K$Ellie Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Say My Name is a bop Stan for Bad Liar I think Hands To Myself did it better I listened to Walking Away and it's nice Love is a slay Underdog so high It's a cute lil bop Frontline is good but there are better songs on the album Midnight Los Ageless is amazing New York is so mediocre in comparison

Body Heat Sober Hands to Myself Kill Em With Kindness delete it fat I understand why you call those songs bad (aside from Sober which is a nod to Style), I remember when I first listened to Hands To Myself I was like wtf It grew on me eventually, as well as the entire album (I've recieved my GODvival box set today btw )
bestfiction Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Also, from the update I've listened only to Los Ageless and Frontline which are amazing taste
