Running With the Boys is cute

AB/AP is weird, but it a good way

I'm not the biggest fan of The Killers, I find their music extremely dull and pretentious and Brandon's previous solo efforts were pretty much the same for me

Angel is my #1 as well

but you should switch Dark Times and As You Are

NOTHING BUT THIEVES

Okay, with that out of the way, "Running With the Boys", such a strong, fun pop song. "My Type", also a strong, fun pop song. Catchy and catchy, riding together again?

Oh, and hi, Abel.

Mr.Link

Little Big Town
"Girl Crush"

This is what I was talking about when I said country artists are starting to evolve somehow, the perfect example of a country song that's never been written before. I love the way she projects her anguish and sets the mood for an anthemic power ballad. Definitely worthy of a Grammy nomination.

Elle Goulding
"Love Me Like You Do"

I'm not gonna praise Ellie Goulding for this song like most of you probably will. She didn't write it, in fact it was written by a camp of 5 people with no particular singer in mind. The real Ellie Goulding died 2 years ago and whoever fools around to uninspired trash like OMM doesn't deserve any praise. That said, she was lucky she got to perform this great song.

Rudimental feat. Ed Sheeran
"Lay It All On Me"

You probably wouldn't be wrong if you thought this song is only included because Ed is singing on it. To be honest I always wrote off Rudimental as another random EDM british group with no particular distinction. Together with Ed, however, they seem to be creating good stuff so don't hold it against me. I love the beat in this song I wish it had a better video though.

Carrie Underwood
"Something In the Water"

I love how this song showcases Carrie's powerful vocals in the simplest way possible. I think it was perfect for a GH era, same old Carrie looking and sounding as good as always. Despite having religious undertones I'm surprised at how much I loved this song, it just never got old. Sadly she failed to release a proper follow-up, I'll be waiting.

Madonna
"Ghosttown"

Madonna has never been and will never be known as a powerful vocalist. Let alone now that she's been experimenting with generic dance tracks that no one really takes serious. That's precisely what makes this song surprisingly unique. For a second, just for a second, she let us catch a glimpse of her Ray of Light glory days, which are (sadly) never coming back.

Ed Sheeran
"Bloodstream"

First of all let me say this is the original solo version not the messy remix, sorry Rudimental. I would argue this was a decent single choice but I don't agree with the timing of its release and of course that hideous cheap video they made. It's one of Ed's most personal songs so far, I love how it effectively depicts his feelings of anxiety, awkwardness and craving for love.

Giorgio Moroder feat. Sia
"Déjà Vu "

I understand this Giorgio person is some (very) old DJ from Italy who came back from retirement armed with a handful of big names in the industry to sing along. I'm openly against EDM so I chose to ignore everything he released until I randomly found this song. It's nowhere near Titanium but this Sia original dance track is some classy bop #ATRLlingo.

Imagine Dragons
"I Bet My Life"

Another Imagine Dragons single that sounds nothing like an Imagine Dragons song, yet isn't a bad song, just not the best for them and definitely not comeback single material. It was great at first, it almost convinced me that it was a good single choice but as the time passed I almost forgot about it. I hope they replan their strategy for their next era.

Foxes
"Feet Don't Fail Me Now"

Supposedly this song isn't an official single, yet it had a music video so I gave it a chance. IMO Foxes is being mislabeled and poorly managed, like they're forcing her to become a standard popstar when she's clearly well above that. This era hasn't even started and it's already a mess with tons of cancelled singles and messy covers and videos released at random times.

Years & Years
"Eyes Shut"

I remember I read somewhere that Years & Years didn't want to release ballads as singles so I take it their label forced them to release this song. It doesn't do much as a stand alone single but it's definitely one of the highlights of the album, possibly because of its uniqueness among all the upbeat tracks.

Thanks for your comments.

7 | 10

Crei que estaria mas alta Lay It All On Me, me gusta pero el video me parece tan pretencioso

Deja Vu es buena, mucho mejor que Alive

Lastima por Foxes, merece mas reconocimiento

No conocia esa historia de Eyes Shut, no es el single mas fuerte, me parece que Memo es una balada mucho mejor

Inside Out es buenisima, merecia top 5 al menos

No me gusto Paper Towns, con todo y que sea muy tonta, me gusta Jurassic World

Brandon

Something In the Water

Love Me Like You Do and Ghosttown

Not really a fan of Bloodstream, Eyes Shut, and I Bet My Life. Then again, Imagine Dragons didn't really have much good material to pick from for the lead single.

Brayant

8 I 10

I Beat My Queen y Deja Vu!!! masterpieces

Ghostlysnaker

Another great set 8/10

I didn't know what you wrote about "Love Me Like You Do" and it's funny because it's my favorite song from her. I find her voice most of the times annoying

My favorite: "Eyes Shut"

Inner sis, the guy hosted the Animated Disney Movie rate earlier this year. A Disney hater wouldn't do that.

Anyways, LMLYD is a great song, as is Ghosttown.

You could have given the Kylie Minogue collab Giorgio Moroder did a chance as well. I know you like her too.
