7/10

"Every Breaking Wave" está muy buena, hacía mucho no me gustaba una canción de U2. "Alive" no me llegó a matar, como decís, me parece una versión de Chandelier que se quedó a mitad de camino.
Buenísimo ver "Renegades" y "Nightlight"

Nimrod.

Mr.Link

Nate Ruess
"Nothing Without Love"

This might be the most underrated song of the year. At first I was a little disappointed because I had expected a more straight-up indie pop anthem from Nate's debut single, but it grew on me like crazy as of lately. I love Nate's vision and songwriting and the way he translates it all into beautiful music videos, he's a one of a kind creative genious and I need him back with fun. asap.

Natalia Lafourcade
"Hasta La Raíz"

Highest charting Spanish song of the year and probably my favorite Spanish song of this decade so far. Natalia's career goes way back to the early 2000s and every one of her albums sounds different from the others. This time she went for a more traditional and raw sound that really suits her. I'm still mad I didn't get to see her live this year.

Vance Joy
"Mess Is Mine"

I'm not sure if this music video is meant to be an enviromental wake up call or just a very weird Coke commercial reject. Either way it's my favorite song of Vance Joy's so far (yes even better than Riptide). It's the perfect song for a road trip and I say it from experience. PS. I know it's old as hell.

BØRNS
"Electric Love"

For the longest time I thought this was a band but it turns out it's a solo act, a guy whose last name is Borns. And speaking of him, he's definitely placed high on my list of artists to watch for 2016, his music is intriguing and experimental, a bit raw but catchy and deep. He's more or less like a fully charged flaming version of Gotye.

Christine and the Queens
"Christine"

When I first started exploring French music this year I didn't expect to find this kind of artists. Christine is some sort of indie pop song with an infectious repetitive chorus that I had stuck in my head for months. Not only that but the music video is sick, like combining art and pop in a classy way and not flopping miserably while trying #ifyouknowwhatImean.

Foxes
"Body Talk"

And this is as high as Foxes will go this year. While I do think this song is quite generic and will definitely not be remembered as one of 2015's best songs, it has her own personal touch as its saving grace. The video was a total letdown though, I had expected a full neon lights 80s themed music video with a roller skates choreo sort of thing, but oh well that's just me.

Metric
"The Shade "

These guys have been around for a while (Gimme Sympathy, anyone?) but I never really thought I'd run across their music ever again, let alone like a song of theirs this much. The Shade is an extremely simple song, the verses are lazy and generic, but it's that goddamn chorus what makes it impossible to avoid. It's possibly the catchiest song of the year for me.

The Weeknd
"Earned It"

I used to consider this song as a guilty pleasure at first mostly because of the film it was written for and for its mildly suggestive lyrics. As The Weeknd evolved as an artist I learned that most of his songs actually follow this same formula, he even has embraced it as his personal signature. I like his music but I think it can be borderline vulgar sometimes.

Louane
"Jour 1"

Oh how I wish this song was in English so that most of you could understand how genious it is, it's not the average love song it has this cynical sincerity that I wasn't expecting. Louane is not a great vocalist but whenever she's performing she's very humble and authentic and that's precisely what I like the most about her.

Years & Years
"Take Shelter"

This was the very first Y&Y's song that I listened to. I understand it's quite old and it was released as a single even before their debut album was planned out, but I enjoyed it so much during the musical drought of the early months of this year that I decided to include it. Being one of their oldest songs it sounds raw compared to their most recent singles and that's what makes it special.

Thanks for your comments.

Vas muy bien

Lastima por Foxes, a mi me parece que es su mejor cancion, la tendre mas alto yo

En un principio creia que BORNS era mujer

esa cancion no me gusta tanto como la que te falta por poner

The Shade me parece OK, solo hay una cancion de esa banda que me ha encantado y no es esta

A lo mejor con un poco mas de tiempo, Natalia entraba a mi conteo
