Ps: you think you have the right to like Bjork and put her in your sig because you like her poppiest song Joga?
What kind of poor drag I physically own her entire discography and Joga alone obliterates anything anyone in your sig has ever put out, especially RihFUND.
OK list. A lot of good songs but the order is messed up (Jello above RAWM???) and some strange selections were made for some artists (Honeymoon from Lana and Ship to Wreck from Florence??).
50. LANA DEL REY – “HONEYMOON”
39. RIHANNA, KANYE WEST, PAUL MCCARTNEY – “FOURFIVESECONDS”
31. MIGUEL FEAT. WALE – “COFFEE”
26. KANYE WEST FEAT. ALLAN KINGDOM, THEOPHILUS LONDON, PAUL MCCARTNEY – “ALL DAY”
10. THE WEEKND – “CAN’T FEEL MY FACE”
It literally sounds like she recorded the song while choking/sucking on a dick. Her voice is tragic. No idea how she got herself a record deal with Interscope, but then again... I have an idea.
In a year when pop music hit new heights of excess and over-stimulation, Carly Rae Jepsen boiled things down to their essence: passion, desire, and compelling vocals. No song displays that as succinctly as “Run Away with Me”, a clarion call of ’80s synths, gang-shouted hooks, and a skipping beat. She delivers the chorus like marching orders, her romantic interest no longer hinged on a maybe. Feeling “up in the clouds/ High as a kite” isn’t exactly groundbreaking writing for a pop love song, but Jepsen has a way of delivering every cliche as a heartfelt truth. Simply put: Her seemingly endless well of sincerity and positivity is utterly charming. Jepsen describes herself as “an old-school romantic at heart,” and, as such, it’s unsurprising that her songs lack the cough medicine sweetness, sidelong darkness, and winking acknowledgment of artifice that riddle other pop albums. She believes in this kind of all-encompassing passion and love, and that comes through loud and clear on “Run Away with Me”.
Over four years had passed since Adele’s platinum-selling 21, and the British singer had mostly stepped out of the spotlight since “Skyfall”. Then, suddenly, the powerhouse vocalist burst back onto the scene with the mournful, piano-driven “Hello”. Although musically similar to her early work, the lyrics dealt with her new record’s overarching themes of coming to terms with growing up, motherhood, and relationships. And, of course, the singer’s soaring voice took center stage, rising throughout the haunting chorus: “Hello from the other side.”
