25. End Game

(featuring Ed Sheeran and Future)
- Taylor Swift

As a known Taylor hater (though a Taylor stan quoted me once when I said this dragging me for attempting to call myself “known”) I was expecting to like no more than 2 or 3 songs from reputation, as I’ve never really been drawn much to her scratchy pitchy vocals and myspace diary entry writing style. However – not only has she managed to serve this strut-down-the-street-and-own-the-world bop, she also managed to shimmy another artist I can’t stand into my world aka. Ed Sheeran. Ugh! However a bop is a bop and praise will be given when it’s due, and this time it is. Obviously there’s been a lot of Taylor backlash this past year and I think reputation really is the only way she could have handled it. Like I still firmly believe that Taylor is a very selfish and manipulative person who cares far more about her power and impact than the music she’s making, but she has spat out some bops and that simply is that. “Big reputation, big reputation, oooh you and me we got big reputations.” That with Ed Sheeran is kinda perfect, cause I hate them both – and they know it.

Where’s Melodrama?

We love a consistent theme and aesthetic! :clap3:

Your taste (especially with Madge) used to make me think you were actually trolling, but I've come to accept it. Looking forward to the rest.

I'd rather eat those than to listen to Talor Swift.

24. Independent
- Saski

None of you know this song so there's that, but Saski is actually a friend of mine from high school. She independently has released some tracks and they’re really interesting. She’s a super cute, great gal and her music and style is really unique in New Zealand I reckon. This is her latest track and it’s super cute, and super relatable. “I do this all on my own” reminds me of Madonna’s “Jump” and Kesha’s “Praying” – both tracks that sing about being able to make it on their own. As a single guy living alone in a city I can also feel the same way sometimes – do I really need anybody else? Maybe, maybe not.

23. Disconnect 
- Clean Bandit and Marina and the Diamonds

I was sooooo late to the party on the existence of this track. I think I figured she just politely leant some vocals to some random group – not realizing that it was an entire song sung by Legend MATD instead! It’s a real bop. Marina’s voice is beyond underrated – it sounds best when she’s singing softly and with a great melody, and here she is doing just that. IDK anything about Clean Bandit but it’s blatantly a cool production and for that I give them praise.

22. Fetish (featuring Gucci Mane)
- Selena Gomez

GMa8mZt.png

 

Having rarely cared for Legend S in the past, I’ve been recently more and more drawn to her simply fact to the STUNNING and UNIQUE tracks that she insists on consistently releasing. Hot off the heels of the truly amazing “Bad Liar”, “Fetish” came along and obliterated my weave once more. The video is also amazing – but the track is just great. She does so much with her admittedly not-exactly-powerful voice that you don’t even realize – turns out there’s more to pop music than vocalists. Who knew? (Not ATRL) There’s a reason there’s armies of producers, mixers and engineers on pop tracks. I love the lyrics too – I love how she’s owning her own sexiness, and position as a surprisingly enormous social media influencer. (Surprising cause she never says anything!)

 

p.s. Does anyone know how I can center these damn Spotify things?
