I Couldn't Want You Anyway Jack Garratt
Alternative
Less is more and this song proves it.
Stunningly beautiful, while extremely
simplistic at the same time. And, as I've
said before, I have a thing for guys with
soft and smooth falsetto
Emotions Katy B
Dance Katy B's brand of soft vocals over slowly
building hard-hitting dance beats is
always captivating to me, but in this
particular song, she blew me away.
Anthem of this generation.
Close Your Eyes Run The Jewels
Rap
Lyrically, it's one of the best rap songs I've
heard in my life and it doesn't even need
a proper chorus to be enjoyable and
memorable
Melba's Call Kelela & BOK BOK
Alternative Messy structure aside, this has its fair
share of epic moments with a stunningly
melismatic vocal delivery by underground
queen Kelela. "It's hard to let go" is one
of the potential titles for my autobiography,
so the fact that it's the main phrase of the
song is a plus
Serving Nina Simone vocals over one of
the best old school hip hop vibes of the
year and featuring one of my all time
favorite rappers. Plus, she KILLED the
hair flips in the video.
Bang Nicole Scherzinger
R & B
I just live for urban sex jams. Especially
if they're slow, sensual and rhythmic with
no blatantly provocative lyrics, like this one.
Plus, Nicole brought it with those breathy,
seductive vocals
Feelin Myself Nicki Minaj & Beyoncé
Hip Hop "Trippin' on that work, trippin' off that purp
Flippin' up my skirt and I be whippin' all
that work" / "I'm the big kahuna, go let them
hoes know. Just on this song alone, bitch is
on her fourth flow
No More You Alexandra Burke
R & B
The vocals slay me, the melody slays
me, the lyrics slay me. But NOT an
unfinished, unmastered demo
making it in the list
