  1. Imploding The Mirage - The  Killers.  This album has an incredible way to capture immensity and euphoria (of finding trust,love and unavoidable faith), as it is shown in  the wild synths on My Own Soul's Warning (with Bruce Springsteen's influenced vocals) and Dying Breed . However, it is also able to draw peaceful joy , like in the serene 'Blowback'. The record is an enchantment and delight of finding a new way full of authentic feelings, excellently brought to music. Maybe that belief in authenticity and powerful love is what we needed this year.  2. Foolish Loving Spaces- Blossoms.  The Stockport band succeeds in their complete and finest analysis of love, which makes you swim through alt -rock ('Your Girlfriend' and 'Like Gravity') and pop perfection ('Oh No (I think I'm in Love)' and 'Swimming Brain') .  3 . After Hou rs-The Weeknd. An unexpected bet for pop without leaving R&B . His admiration for 80s pop came just in t

 If you weren't feeling so Christmassy this year, Caroline Polachek and A. G. Cook are here to save your Christmas spirit just two days before Christmas Eve. Caroline didn't need to write a new song, she just adapted the lyrics to her hit 'So hot you' re hurting my feelings ' to  get' So cold you're hurting my feelings'. She is Mrs. Santa and is missing Santa while he is delivering presents around the world. The synths of the original version hinted the suitable jingle bells at the end of the song, creating 'Christmas on the dancefloor' vibe. 

  1.'She has no time'-KEANE:  Tim Rice-Oxley wrote this song to Keane's vocalist, Tom Chaplin, when he was fighting against unrequited love. Tom's vocals give you goosebumps as usual , but there is some disenchantment in his voice that will surely make you cry. 2. 'The River'-Bruce Springsteen: The song exudes sadness from the harmonica intro. The instrumental feels simple compared to his other songs. The storytelling lyrics are full of frankness and sincerity. The story of  the young couple having their dreams destroyed suffocated by life in a small town will definitely move you (' No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle' //' No flowers no wedding dress').  3.'Ocean Eyes'-Billie Eilish:  A great way to show the fear of falling for someone through Billie's voice , full of vulnerability.   4,'Run'-JOJI:  Dive into  melancholy caused by an untrue relationship. Joji's vocals are sad and feel like he is crying out hopeles

 Kali Uchis released on November 18th her second studio album, 'Sin Miedo (Del Amor y Otros Demonios)' , her first one almost completely in Spanish. Singing in Spanish and embracing her latin origins have always been present in her projects, as in Isolation , where she featured  Reykon for the track ' Nuestro Planeta'. The latin spin that fills up most of Kali's recent music was first shown on ' Solita', produced by the famous reggatón producer, Tainy  and not included on the album. Kali Uchis has been giving us clues since she covered Don Omar's  'Pobre Diabla' and La Lupe's 'Qué te pedí ', featured on the album. These covers show the two trends Kali is following on her latin pop view: Classic Reggaetón vibes and Latin Soul , approaching to more traditional latin music. The first track is ' La luna enamorada ', an unexpected bolero. Kali has been observing smartly her childhood tunes and latin music,and that is shown on this

When I say 'stereotypes' I am referring to the association of an artist to a specific genre or style :An artist is consider pop and remains pop til the end of his/her career. The industry and the public classify an artist and make you expect he or she is going to always drop the same type of music. In the early 2000s there was an explosion of new artists and some of them were what we later  used to consider pop queens like Beyoncé, Rihanna and Lady Gaga. Despite Beyonce started in Destiny chid,(R&B) during her debut she mixed both R&B and pop ( 'Irrepleazable ' and 'Crazy In Love' ) . S he went totally pop with her 2008 album 'I'm Sasha fierce' . With songs like ' Halo ', ' If I Were A Boy' and ' Single Ladies' she became played in every pop radio station. Her pop side was confirmed with her 2011 album '4' and her self titled album (songs like ' Pretty Hurts ' or 'Love On Top '). But in her 20

 Just a year ago, Therapie taxi dropped their second album, titled 'Cadavre Exquis'. The project was the second chapter to their successful first record, 'Hit Sale'. The song with the same title peaked on number 18 on France singles chart. It featured Belgian rapper Romeo Elvis and the video has more than 70 million views on YouTube. They were shortlisted for a Victoires de la musique award.   Sometimes described as controversial, Therapie taxi explored almost every genre in popular music, from synth pop ('Candide Crush'), to acoustic classic French pop ('La Proue'), trap beats ('BB la nuit'), house music and French hip hop. They managed to have their own public trying out different genres, unafraid to get out of the standards and being in constant  experimentation.   But, luckily, they are releasing an EP before they say goodbye, which is out January the 8th. Merci et Bon voyage (to the members of) Therapie Taxi!
