Holding On (even though it's the fourth best single from the album nn), Everything Now and Can I Sit Next to You :clap3:

Posted

70-61: Bad Liar. :clap3: 

I don't know any song from 60-51, but I'll stay perched. 

Posted

Everything Now :alexz:

I need to check that Kiesza song, I've liked her in the past.

Posted

RTJ, Jorja, Daniel (aye lmao), TWOD, and Arcade Fire (even if that is the only good song on the album dd) :clap3: 

I'm so glad I got into Jorja especially. Hopefully we get an album out of her next year.

Great picks! Of songs that are a bit "rare" to see I suppose - I love that Spoon song, I'm very pleased to see Momentz on your list (it's my #2 fave), and Jorja Smith I still need to check out that record! I have on track on my "music to look into" playlist but still haven't gotten around to it :emofish:

She dropped a bop and then left us hanging for the rest of 2017.

I probably downplayed my love for "Can I Sit Next To You," it was actually one of my favorite tracks at the top of the year,

BLF was so close to being ignored until I really got into the lyrics/message. It also reminds me of early Alicia Keys and a little bit of Erykah Badu.

I like AF but I didn't bother this time.

Hopefully at the top of the year and no more singles, I hate when we've heard the entire album months before, I also want to see some upbeat tracks and bops like On My Mind and Tyrant.

Issa funky guitar pop jam and 90's inspired of course

I agree. Usually what happens is all of the good songs are released leaving the weak tracks to sift through (think Mura Masa). At least with Jorja she only released On My Mind, Teenage Fantasy, and Beautiful Little Fools. One more single would be good, but then I'd need the album!

Get You is so so good.

Luv Bad Liar obviously.

Interesting Spoon pick as well, surprised at the diversity of their picks...

50. Real Estate, “Darling”

Real Estate has a sound that I know may not be everyone’s cup of tea.

But they’re my go-to when I’m in a certain mood.

You’re not going to get an expansion of sound, it’s been 9 years or so why the switch up now?

With Real Estate you know where they stand; dreamy guitar washes and soothing calm vocals.

“Darling” just has a cleaner and catchier guitar melody than some of their past work.

49. Lady Gaga, “The Cure”

After being burned out by the extraness of ARTPOP and the restrictiveness of Joanne you learn to settle

with “cute” Gaga.That’s exactly what “The Cure” is, a cute little pop song. The exact opposite of

what you’d expect from a Lady Gaga song. It has elements that scream generic and forgettable but the hook

and melody that is absolutely addicting to me. I’m here for SAFEPOP.

48. The xx, “Say Something Loving”

While "On Hold" was a strong first single last year to introduce listeners, "Say Something Loving" did its best

to reel me into The xx's new sound. The occasional off-key and overall speaking/monotone vocals makes this

an interesting ballad.

47. Moses Sumney, “Doomed”

Shout out to the member that put me on, you know who you are. This song has gorgeous vocal melodies and

warm, softly applied synths that put you at ease. What a beautiful voice Moses has.

46. Grizzly Bear, “Three Rings”

Grizzly never fails to serve mesmerizing layers and arrangements, switch-ups and stadium-ready guitar licks!

45. GoldLink, “Meditation (feat. Jazmine Sullivan & KAYTRANADA)”

Goldlink has the ability to blend R&B, electronic and Hip-Hop so well. This just WORKS.

GoldLink rides KAYTRANADA’s bouncy beat without a problem and Jazmine’s guest vocals are

great as usually does. It’s great to see her branch out a little bit and work with people in 2017 that

you would have never expected her to work with, like Bryson Tiller for example, and even that was

a decent duo for HBO’s Insecure.

44. Lorde, “Sober”

I wasn’t moved by “Greenlight” and any promotional song thatcame out afterwards. I thought Lorde would be

over but “Sober” got me back in. The drums add a little tropical feel to it and the breathy pauses are kinda (sexy?).

But the backings still give you that quirkiness that we’re use to with Lorde.

43. Gallant, “Cave Me In (feat. Tablo & Eric Nam)”

I know some folks were gushing over this but I really learned to appreciate this song during my

New Wave of R&B rate, and I also became a fan. This isn’t even the alternative R&B that Gallant

was serving with Ology, it’s just a standard/traditional R&B song. Gallant really sets the tone and

the two K-Pop acts hold their own. It’s so smooth and sweet.

Spoiler

42. Jorja Smith, “On My Mind”

After a few slow jams Jorja proved that she can diversify her sound on this bumping grime track.

It’s fun and has a nostalgic feel to it. Honestly, all that was missing was Azealia’s crazy ass or

someone to hop on here with a sick rhyme.

Spoiler
 

 

 

200x200-000000-80-0-0.jpg

41. Kendrick Lamar, “The Heart Part 4”

Kendrick’s had such a great year that you almost forgot that this was THE promotional/diss

track at the top of 2017. Before “Humble,” Kendrick solidified himself as arguably the greatest rapper alive.

He throws shots at Drake and Big Sean, who had no choice but to shut up, ending their beef once and for all.

He still kept it socially conscious by dragging Trump and America’s mess. And he teased us about what

was about to come in April (DAMN.) if any rapper didn’t get their **** together to put out good material.

Ahhh so many bops! (On My Mind, Sober, Meditation, etc)

 

But my fave has to be Doomed :smitten: 

 

And no lie, I kinda did forget about The Heart Part 4. It's hard as **** tho.

Dearly Beloved, Sober, the Cure + Kelela promo :clap3: 

 

That XX album is overrated, but SSL is one of the few tracks I use. Both you and MLD hated Joanne and ARTPOP but the Cure brought you back; the Cure truly living up to its title!
