mathuss

Sia, Pet Shop Boys, Bat For Lashes, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Japandroids, The Strokes

Changes

Man I forgot Japandroids released a song. I'll definitely be listening to their album tho.

I literally just discovered Dark Tranquility 2 days ago.

they're OK. The name of the band drew me in.

backtoback

Oblivius and Cheap Thrills are my favorites from this set

nawww tho I thought every song on the EP was enjoyable, just lacking that next level push so that's a good placement. Yeah Cheap Thrills is a bop and IA Sean Paul's got the golden touch haters step aside. then Japandroids are just prime as per usual, my favs here

M A R N ✮

Flume & Strokes

madonnas

THE POP KIDS. Do you like the Full Story? I could see Madonna crowing over that song (or most songs on Super lol)
Sunday Love is a classic ALMOST on the level of Daniel but not quite.
I saw that D Dumbo album being posted around and added it to my library but haven't listened to it yet. But I will if you say Talking Heads

I love Tkay's album so much. I think she has a lot in common with those artists but she's like all of them combined (she sounds like Charli in castles in the sky too)

Brandon

Cheap Thrills

bluth

damn forgot about the pop kids. it's nice altho the pet shop boys have never really been my thing

say it is def better than most things on lady wood lol. really like the sound of that epoch song, the art's nice too

I haven't had the displeasure of being overexposed/played of Cheap Thills.

Topmaster 2

150. Sia ft Sean Paul - Cheap Thrills | I hate that cover

It's scary.
148. Pet Shop Boys - The Pop Kids | Kweens <3
147. Jagwar Ma - OB1 | Masterpiece their new stuff is really good.
145. Bat For Lashes - Sunday Love | Masterpiece, her best song in the album.
144. Unknown Mortal Orchestra - First World Problem | That video is great

141. Japandroids - Near To The Wild Heart Of Fire | Kings

140. The Strokes - Oblivius | Kinda forgettable

139. Tkay Maidza ft Killer Mike - Carry On | Legend Killer Mike

138. Mutemath - Changes | Love this

They sound pretty different but love it anyway.
137. Dark Tranquility - Atoma | YAAAAAAAAAAAAAS. This legends

They are flopping in my tops but love them. Their new album is gold.

And yes, Sean Paul does give the song some flavor.

PRAISE THE KING.

He's gonna win at least one Grammy with Cheap Thrills.

The Strokes change so much

Mutemath + Flume + Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Mr.Link

The Strokes and Sia

I have to disagree I think Alive is very underrated

I prefer power ballad Sia even if it means she won't get much airplay out of it.

I'm new to them too in a way. Someone recommended me a track and I end up digging it. Not sure it compares to any of their older material.

I loved Bat's album on my first listen, and on my 2nd listen... Then I didn't listen anymore.

Yeah I thought it was a consistent first listen. Not sure If I gave more than three for the album in full.

They could've had a Madonna feature probably. The Full Story has a breakdown I can slightly use. With D.D, it's more David Bryne.

The sia covers her era have been unfortunate. Kinda new to Dark Tranquility still but from what I heard they're alright guys.

Idk if he has a grammy or not but I would be fine if he gets one.

I'm not a fan of Sia ballads tbh and Alive is not something I could play a lot.

Lemme update now actually

135. One Republic - Kids

Kids sounds like a certain St. Lucia song but i'm not complaining. It's one of their few recent songs I can tolerate.

134. Zayn - BeFoUr

BeFoUr's "dark" production is kinda notable? I think this is his best single. Still not sure y it got a video but then again he payed everything else dust after the album dropped so no need to worry.

133. Weezer - L.A Girlz

The title speaks for itself. It's a fun track

132. A$AP Mob - Telephone Calls

Vol 1 Cozy Tapes out now!

131. Minor Victories - A Hundred Ropes

What happens when you mix up Slowdive, Mogwai & Editors? You get Minor Victories. And as a result of Minor Victories, you get A Hundred Ropes. Yes it's Post-Punk.

130. FKA Twigs - Good To Love

I gave her song some criticism for being so anti-climatic back when it first released but later I started to appreciate it more. I didn't know whether it was hinting towards a more stripped back direction for LP2 (whenever that comes out

) but it's fine.

129. Deftones - Hearts / Wires

One of their best recent songs. Reminds me a bit of their White Pony days.

128. French Montana ft Kodak Black - Lockjaw

A certified banger, and one of the few Kodak Black joints I can get with.

127. Baauer ft M.I.A & G-Dragon - Temple

An triple threat collab with some neat Asian styled beats.

126. AlunaGeorge ft Popcaan - I'm In Control

A nice on trend track from Ms George back when it was released. One of the few tracks from her recent album I kept.

125. Laura Mvula ft Nile Rodgers - Overcome

The disco production doesn't disappoint here. Laura makes use of it and creates a well rather groovy vibe.

124. Kweku Collins - Stupid Rose

123. Saba ft Noname - Church/Liquor Store

I love the chemistry both Saba & Noname have.

122. Father John Misty - Real Love Baby

A nice standalone to his collection with a catchy sound.

121. Beacon - I'M U

It's a small journey but the buildup is gr8.

Woah k Prezli, it was just a question, no shade. Was just generally uninformed. I gotcha now.
