One's an R&B Artist. The other a new artist who's first hit has been featured on several commercials and was recently performed on The Voice. Who could it be?
Off their self-titled debut EP, I found this song late, but this has been on repeat for the past month. There's not one thing that I don't enjoy about this song. From the beats to the chanting in the chorus. Absolutely perfect.
Their EP is great and I cannot wait for more.
28. John Legend - "All Of Me"
Off his album, "'Love In The Future', John Legend delivers this delicate, yet powerful ballad. His voice is magical and this should have been the next "Somebody Like You" in terms of chart success.
A surprise entry for me, because I never thought I'd like Selena's album when it first came out. It actually contains several other amazing songs like Save The Day, Undercover, and Love Will Remember.
Forget Forever to me was the highlight of the album. Beautiful song.
26. Pearl Jam - "Sirens"
"Sirens" comes in at #27 and its off Pearl Jam's album, 'Lightning Bolt'. Amazing lyrics. Amazing production. Amazing, Amazing, Amazing.
Would have rated it a lot higher if I didn't hear it just this past month. Love the pre-chorus and also the way the singer says "Nothing's Changed!". My favourite parts
As always, Em releases an amazing album. He still remains the best lyrically for me amongst rappers.

14. Kanye West
Was addicted to his album, 'Yeezus' for so many weeks when it was released. No matter how crazy he's become, that craziness actually works well for him in his songs such as I Am A God and Blood On The Leaves. Great year for him.
Suggestions to listen to:
Blood On The Leaves
I Am A God
Black Skinhead

13. Zedd
Guilty pleasure for Zedd. When he's at his best, he produces some great work and that's presented here on his EP. He has his highs ("Stache", "Clarity", "Follow You Down", "Fall Into The Sky") and he had his lows this year ("Donatella"), but overall what a great year.
